I'm lost for words. Well the way we are playing at the moment is hardly setting the world alight. Look at the header Mateta scored recently, it was a simple cross finished by a striker. Benteke and every striker we have had has been starved of that service since we’ve been in the premier league. Shearer would fail to score for us in his prime. Liverpool as an example are at there best when they ‘counter attack’ put simply Alison uses a quick throw up field to Salah and he is in the opposite box quick as you like by passing the midfield. Then has a go or usually has Nunez or Jotta busting into the box. This is basically a refined version of long ball. Im not saying we are Liverpool but we sure as s*** ain’t man city either and at least we would be in the opponents box/half more.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Apparently McKenna doesn't want to join while Ipswich are still in with a shout at promotion. For me, we should wait until the season is over and then go all in for Edwards of Luton. We would be a perfect step for him, near the top of his realistic possibilities. He'd get us playing front foot, physical football but still be pragmatic when needed. What more can he realistically achieve there?
If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities. |

The overriding thing I take away from it is that Brentford have signed players to play a certain way. We have players like Andersen and Wharton who are capable of going direct and at times they do. What we don't have are the traditional aerially dominant forward and speedy striker to play like Brentford. Without Toney and Mbuemo they couldn't go so direct and it showed in their results. What Roy has to do is work out the best way of playing with the players he has at his disposal. To my mind in all the bleakness the one thing that has been proving effective is getting the ball to JPM's feet. He has proven to be highly effective at holding the ball when played to his feet and bringing others into play. If we were to go long against Everton their centre-backs will completely dominate. I don't rate either so much when defending on the ground.

Many now predicting an Everton home win by a couple of goals and suggesting that a home defeat against Burnley,will force even indecisive Parish to take some action and sack the rather sad,but ineffective Roy.

I,for one, welcome the new philosophical turn of this thread. Originally posted by southnorwoodhill
