WalthamOwl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We seem to be happy letting the opposition have a hell of a lot of the ball under Pulis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Owl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 There's no other way Pulis can set us up than concentrate on getting us organised defensively and hard to beat, we have ZERO quality upfront and very little attacking flair in midfield. No idea how people expect us to set up but you've got to play to your strengths and that's definitely not free flowing attacking football. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously had value. We chose to let the likes of Forestieri see out their bumper contracts and leave for nothing having offered nothing for the best part of 3 seasons. Exactly. A far worse crime than selling an inconsistent player for £5m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be nowhere near a start if Iorfa or Flint were fit but the lack of a proper left-back and proper striker is down to terrible recruitment as any fan would have told those were priorities last season.

adifferentgame Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just now, Beauchief Owl said: The difference is that Monk had two transfer windows and some decent forwards last season and still didn't sort it out. Two transfer windows in which we failed to strengthen with our incomings and failed to replace our outgoings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sages say an attacking manager would have us playing free flowing technical attacking football by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soak pressure, hit on break with Reach + Harris for pace and Paterson for size and work rate. It's a sensible starting point for our squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the team that Monk built being managed by TP. These players were signed under Carvalhal, Luhukay, Bruce, Bullen and Monk. I'm sure Monk would have loved to have been able to add more quality than he did in the summer, but circumstances were against us thanks to the chairman's prior actions. The point remains that we simply have no genuine attacking quality in our squad. Edited November 28, 2020 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
