We clearly did. I don't disagree that TeeDubs have issues in the front third, especially now that Bassett and Watto are gone. But to suggest that Marko is the one who's doing things right and everyone else is poor is difficult for me to comprehend. Almost every single threatening thing the WeeNix did, especially in the first half, came from Marko picking the wrong option either in the defensive third, or in the middle of the park. I counted the number of touches he took every time he was in possession, and in general he didn't pass before his third touch, when a first-time, or at the very least the second touch, pass would have been more appropriate. The longer you hold on to the ball the less options you have, and Marko's instinct isn't to move the ball quickly and that was putting his team under pressure. He was also being doubled in possession and often struggled with getting out of that effectively.
Look, he's a technically accomplished player who's still very young, has good attributes, and looks to play a possession-oriented game, and those are all good bases for his further development. But he's clearly still got a few things to learn at this level of the game. I think he may have started already this season before Saturday, but he clearly doesn't have a lot of minutes at this level yet, and getting used to the physicality of the game at the Handy Prem level will also take a bit to bed in.
Not all of them no, but those within 10-20 yards who you would expect to received a first time ball maybe.
I'm sorry, but to suggest his instinct isn't to move the ball quickly given he's been at West's for however many years is laughable, as is your opinion he struggled with the physical play and couldn't get out of being doubled teamed effectively.
Every comment I've seen of the game has said he was one of, if not the, best players on the pitch.
