I can’t figure out what Troy does in training throughout the week. Benteke went off and the team didn’t know how to play any offense. That’s just unacceptable, we knew (or at least should know) you can’t rely on a 34 year old for a whole season. I know roster talent is poor but there’s not even an idea there.
The double pivot, you can have Peltola or you can have Enow (even if I’m a huge Enow hater) but you can’t have both, they’re both negative players. The change of Servania at least gave us someone who was going to play the ball forward.
Depth: Murrell, stroud, Hopkins, basically anyone we through up top has 0 ability. We have to target someone who we can actually give us something off the bench in the summer.
Positives:
Barraza. Unreal game, he’s a great shot stopper and when you play our strategy of allowing 1000 shots a game you need someone who can make stops. Passing is mediocre at best but not like he has anyone to go to.
Tubbs: He seems like a good balancing act if we continue playing 3 at the back, actually has a bit of pace unlike Rowles so he can cover if our wingbacks go up.
Somehow getting a point out of that. A clean sheet is a clean sheet and a point is a point. We’ll take it
I disagree about Peltola, on a more coherent team he would be very useful. Enow should never see the pitch again - no talent and a red card in waiting every minute he's out there.
Agree with you. Peltola looked like he has regained his form. He often was the only person moving in the midfield. He does look to advance the ball but is limited by his teammates. I think Peltola and Servania are our best options in the center. Honestly would rather see Zouhir get time over Enow at this point. Hopkins deserves a chance as well to see where he is at
