I'd say there are a couple of problems with our attack so far (I think we look pretty good defensively compared to last year).
1. We hold possession much better but it's a little bit aimless, I still don't see an absolutely clear plan for how we create goal scoring opportunities Lia and Manny are not the ball playing mids we need to change this.
2. Brockie/Huysegems doesn't look like a partnership but leaving either our means we're lacking goal scorers I think they are doing their best given the aimless ball they are chasing from the above two players
3. A two man defensive midfield has been overrun - and a 3 man defensive midfield means we lack width, our attack gets outnumbered and we really don't create goal scoring opportunities. Once again it comes down to Lia and Manny trying to do thing they are not cut out to do, ala Siggy trying to play the ball from the back last season - they can be solid defensive pair but when you ask them to play the ball the look lost
4. We're not really getting our full backs involved in the attacking play as much as we need to has been covered but when Fenton/Caira get forward to help the attack they are caught out when the opposition counters - I'm not sure who is suposed to cover their positions when the get forward but I would imagine the CB's move out and the DM's are supposed to drop back - key players not doing the job = Lia and Manny
as the above indicate - to me it's pretty clear where our major issue lies, and most of us identified it as a key area we needed to sort - currently Manny and Lia are not working together as a DM pairing, when Reira comes on we looked better but still the aimless passing from Lia was apparent - I cannot fathom how he manages to keep starting - for mine; great heart and work rate mean very little when all we get is 90 minutes of inconsistant play - I'd rather he delivered 45 minutes of quality and let someone else do the rest.
