To me, I think we had the players but the farting around at the back cost us. I honestly believe we would have got top 2 if we hadn't kept this infuriating tippy tappy stuff, which is not designed for 6ft 4 no nonsense centre halves.
Look at how Bartley has improved now he is not being asked to be Beckenbauer.
Imho the job of a centre half is to head, kick, tackle and bully the opposing forwards not play 40yrd killer fuggin passes or dribble out passed players like your Messi FFS. Their job is to stop the ball going in our nett.
Spot on. Do all that and give it short to a ball playing defensive midfielder like Field or Barry etc to pick a pass.
Simple really.
The Jones tactics were our downfall this season imo. If BD had continued the fine job he did at the end of the Prem season and kept Shan as his assistant I think we would have faired better. Alas we'll never know.
Agree. Jones will not get a good reception when Luton come to the Hawthorns.
