This is dreadful management.
Say you're working on it.
Say it's because we play more direct.
Do not say it's about individual quality when 90% of those teams would kill for our budget #lufc
🗣️ DF on #LUFC ranking 95/96th for final third passing accuracy in Europe’s top 5 leagues: “This links to when I speak about individually quality, and perhaps the quality other teams are able to spend on. They have the players who can find the perfect pass in difficult moments”
Big concern. We've had a lot of praise for how good we are defensively and rightly so.
However, our predictability is starting to hurt us. We need a plan B. The answer is obviously in a 433/4231 and the players exist to use it #lufc
Gave Sunderland their only point and clean sheet in their last 6
Gave palace their only clean sheet in the league
Failed to beat a scum side in turmoil with 0 wins in 9
2 goals and 3 points in our last 5 with 0 wins.
Not good enough #lufc
Hmm. Weak going forward.
We need to be able to go 4 at the back more often. And use Bard not Justin LB #lufc
We've seen this before haven't we #lufc
These attackers would benefit from a 433 or 4231.
433 with Amps, Stach and Tanaka is a good middle and you can then get more out of Wilson.
4231 you can got Aaronson in the 10 or Stach and, again, get more out of Wilson.
Do it Daniel #lufc
Farke said he prefers a back 4.
Farke refuses to move to a back 4 in games in which it would benefit us.
Baffling. #lufc
There's such a noticeable lack of creativity in this team. We need a playmaker. #lufc
I really don't know what Wilson adds to this team with a back 5. I hope we go back 4 more and give him a chance.
I think this was the game to do it. If Okafor and Stach can come on, do it for Aaronson and a CB and go 4231 #lufc
Not good enough in possession at all here. This is a team bottom of the league who had a fixture on Thursday.
4 at the back and go at them was the option. #lufc
The amount of rubbish and detritus flying around the Stadium of Light is an accurate reflection of Sunderland as a place
You can tell how many players Farke doesn't trust by who he does and doesn't bring on here.
He wants the win without throwing everything at it. Yet Wilson and Bahoya stay on the bench #lufc
They've been better than they have been all season. Obviously. #lufc
Not sure this needs to be said
Farke says Tanaka often needs arm around shoulder, but doesn't want him getting soft.
"Spotted him in 25C in gloves. 'You're not Suzuki or a GK!'. I took the gloves! If someone thinks we can afford 1% less or can be a bit soft, I will make sure that this won't happen." #lufc
Frustrating that and we could have been 2 up, but we are so much better than last year.
Tanaka and DCL were great. I think the ref gave DCL very little and we would have really benefited from a few more decisions with the fouls on him. #lufc
