Greenlizard0 Premier League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [27th - 29th September 2025]

I can't understand why Amorim is playing that back three. It has no pace whatsoever. Shaw is the thickest footballer ever. Maguire is just a cart horse and De ligt is only really above average. Yoro is still raw but at least him and Heaven have pace. they will make mistakes but in this system you need a pace at the back. Kinda obvious really - isn't it?

We can't really expect much different when you have a team that has Maguire, Shaw, Dalot, Ugarte who have never been good enough. Cunha, Mbuemo and Bruno are all getting into the same spaces. It's really poor.

Sort it out Ruben.

But then if we played Yoro and were getting destroyed in the air from Brentford's long throws and corners you'd be asking why we didn't play Maguire and De Ligt
 
Line up v palace - Wirtz off the left by the look of it.
Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Isak.
Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Robertson, Frimpong, Ngumoha
 
Gosh we are so laboured and slow with the ball, it’s tortuous to watch, seems to be no clue what the plan is.
The Fernandes experiment in CM doesn't work - he hasn't had a good game in that position in the league. Europa League he just about got away with it. We look poor with Dalot in the team. The whole thing looks more disjointed than ever. Might even have to change my signature at this rate!

I have to agree, after a year of coaching nobody seems to really understand the system or expectations. I know the players don't necessarily all suit it, but it's pretty damn poor.

When was the last time we scored a 'proper' goal - as in a fluid move rather than some sort of goalmouth scramble. Even Sesko's today was a strange one.

I am now coming round to your way of thinking.
