We have stopped being an attacking threat as we usually only have four attack minded players on the pitch. All this to break down teams playingnine and ten behind the ball. It is so obvious we are going to struggle to get through the massed ranks.
Furthermore, not only does this inhibit our ability to score Bt it makes it even more likely we will be hit on the counter attack. There is no guile or craft from the midfield and these less gifted players are going to give the ball away around the final third.
I've watched it time and again and then read that we need this 'sokid base'. It's a myth.
I also hear Yaya getting crucified and yet we muss him more than any other player, with the possible exception of Serg.
The two most feeble woeful performances of the season were at Liverpool and that wretched effort at Stoke. And that is how I always think of us without Yaya and with the fabled two defensive midfielders.
I've been saying all season long, "Attack, it's what we do best"
We seem to have become a possession side, as in we keep hold of the ball without actually doing anything with it. It's bewildering to watch almost every single game.
