Today’s controlball consists of long balls from Norris and Leahy to Udoh, to knock it down to Kone. The only problems are 1) the long balls generally aren’t very good, especially from Norris and 2) Kone is looking lethargic.
I’d take Kone off for Reach or Lowry and stick Udoh up front.
Either way, it’s a massive reason for the continuous nervousness in all games. It must contribute to the severe lack of flowing, confident & attacking football.
Not a bad display aside from us looking like we are going to c**p ourselves every time we get into the final third. Which is exactly how I feel watching the game.
As an away defensive showing, this has been strong. Going forward, since we’ve moved to 5 at the back we don’t create enough good chances, and when we do Kone isnt in strong enough form to take them
