Sheff Utd - The Verdict.

We struggle against teams who sit deep...we dont have any creative midfielders.....although tbf no one has outside the top 6.....we haven't become a 'long ball team' just a counter attacking one.
 
Needed 3 in the centre of midfield. Lerma and Billing just couldn't handle the work rate of their trio. Brooks was what we missed, remember the 4-0 against Chelsea, Brooks pestered Jorginho so the had no space. I thought we should have changed to a 4-2-3-1 at the break, taking Rico off for H.Wilson, moving Ake to left-back and King in attacking midfield with H.Wilson on the right or the other way round as Wilson was a disruptor at times for Derby, racking up 13 yellow cards.
 
And no substitute till the 90th minute?

I'm struggling with that one.
you couldnt even argue that the players he changed in the end were playing well all game to warrent them staying on, i was expecting the changes around 60th min to give us a bit more
 
We're going down, any optimism for new season gone in one game. Continuation from end of last season. Absolutely turgid and dog performance. Attack non existant, Rico & Mepham awful. No one could keep the ball or play a 1 yard pass. Playing 3 CB at home to Sheff Utd, got what we deserved, they deserved a point.
 
It's a slow start but it's a point against the type of side we always struggle with tbf.....it's not like we haven't seen this type of game before.
 
The main reason we were so poor today was the tactically set up. I’m sorry but EH got that completely wrong today. We did not have the personnel to play that system today at all and Wilson was so isolated at times against three centre half’s it was laughable. We set up like we were playing Man City and not Sheff U, very poor from Eddie today and had us at disadvantage from the get go.
 
They definitely deserved at least a point. They worked hard , closed us down, made it difficult to get the ball to our forwards. We looked unimaginative and even disinterested at some points. We looked weak on the left. Not sure what game Eddie was watching but we needed changes after we'd scored. However, Sheff utd played at their best to get a point against a very poor Bournemouth team. We will improve whereas they will struggle playing every team like that

Blimey what a miserable bloke. It was shite but hardly the end of our season.

So it was the system after all....:D.....no matter what system we play it's always to blame for a poor performance.
