In a league as competitive as this, you simply cannot carry players in any position. It’s as simple as that.
The common denominator with this side not scoring goals, has always been the playing staff. I can’t remember the last time (aside from Archer), where I thought we were good for a goal every game, or at the very least capable of inspiring one. Carrying a striker force with 75% of it tallying less than 10 goals between them in the last two or three years, means that, you guessed it. We have a side incapable of scoring goals. Our talisman is also the most inconsistent performer within the squad (Riis). This hasn’t changed regardless of the management. Our new manager comes from a sides that scored a lot of goals.
The basics of his system, are good wingbacks and decent attackers, it’s fair enough saying what’s his back up plan. But why get him in to not give him the players for his plan A?
Problems at the very top for me.
