Playing on the counter attack works if you have a threat in behind ... Woltemade comes short and there's no realistic prospect of him spinning and running in behind.
The third man runs aren't frequent enough because the passes into Woltemade aren't sticking to him long enough.

We gave massive contracts (thanks Amanda) to two lads on the assumption, wrongly, that other teams would poach them from us.
Joelinton never had the talent for his salary, and Bruno is nowhere close to being athletic enough to be at the very top of European football.

Half a yard off closing down and they're just passing around us. Joelinton appears to be on the way down physically and he's not got enough talent to compensate.

Outcoached and outplayed. Nick Pope is finished at this level. Lost the game in the middle of the pitch. Basketball style game and we left our most athletic midfielder out the team and started a centre midfielder who can't run. Make it make sense.

Whoever thought Elanga was worth £55m should be asked for their resignation.

I mean this sincerely I hope he gets time to sort this out ...but our owners won't put up with this for much longer. It's not been anywhere close to good enough since the cup final.

He's watched that for over 20 minutes and hasn't made any changes or attempted to improve our situation. That's genuinely worrying.

Change the shape FFS. No solutions in possession in a 433 as they're man marking and we can't get through , around, or in behind them.
Get some pace next to Woltemade and get them turned.

Need to change the shape to a 442 or 352.
Either way Woltemade needs some pace up top next to him to open up the spaces next to him. WHU not having to turn to defend space in behind.
Also, need to counter attack quickly as WHU midfielders don't recover quick enough.

Amanda Staveley - selling England's starting centre midfielder (and shoo in for next year's world cup) for a relative pittance because you didn't hire a competent finance director wasn't very high performancey.
Selling Anderson and Minteh alone was enough to see her get her P45. So poor.

Technique is everything. Late movements, brilliant twists and turns to escape pressured, ability to disguise the action, feints to goad opponents, & always an instruction on every pass.
De Jong and Pedri are different class.

This is what keeping the ball looks like btw.
If it looks like they have an extra player it's because they do when they have the ball.
Their GK is as good as an outfield player, ours can't pass it 10 yards.

@chrismullinexmp.bsky.social Hi Chris, I picked up your book 'a view from the foothills'. I've not been able to put it down since I got it. Very enjoyable read. Thank you for your years of public service.

Catching up with Educating Yorkshire.
Teachers rewarding poorly behaved children with prizes for behaving as they ought to have been behaving in the first instance will never not blow my mind.
No chance kids who actually behave from the off are getting any form of reward 😂

A penny for the thoughts of Ekitike tonight.
Isak - will have to start, British record fee.
Wirtz - will have to start, 2nd largest transfer fee.
Mo Salah - undroppable.
Where does that leave him? With his arse firmly glued to the bench.

£130m is decent business for a bloke who spends half his time on the physio table & cannot play against a low block.
Remarkable that Liverpool are still spending mega money on strikers that have to have space in behind the defence to be successful when none of their opponents give them that.

I watched the euros ...watched Germany play a few times too ...Woltemade is, in my opinion, a number 10.
They'll need to sign a striker that can stretch the back line too ...he's not that type of player.
I suspect they'll have half an eye on him playing behind the striker in a 451.

Should have taken the point. Good performance in the circumstances. Referee v v poor. Time to go and get Eddie two strikers and kick on.
