I don't know. It seems that there are times in the game when Farke instructs them to play a more restrained game, in contrast to Bielsa's all out attack.
I can see the value of that for game management when we're seeing a game out, or riding out a period of pressure, but not at 1-0 with most of the game still to play.
Not sure how big a factor individual complacency is. The game definitely shifted once they scored; they gained a confidence to attack us more, and we seemed to lose our self assurance. The system doesn't carry the team if key players are sub par, for whatever reason.
Well seeing as Sara's virtually nailed it here and in a previous post.
WHAT THE FECKIN HELL ARE YOU DOIN FARKE FFS !!!! ???
Jeez i could've smashed me telebox up after we'd gone 1-0 up and it was probably good thing my tinternet went down.
The dumb fecker tells us it's all about the first goal then invites them back into the game by going deep, wtf does he want to go deep for and create a huge gap between our lines !!! A gap so feckin huge that Ampadu and Kamara are wasted having to come so deep to pick it up off the defenders to go on the attack.
wtf do you want to do that for DF ??? To bring them out ?? What's the feckin point of that when we've already got the first ? I don't get it.
Like Stoke they weren't falling for it and just got themselves organised.
Just play like we did v Leicester ffs, what's the problem with doing that ??? I'm now wishing we can play against a top side every single week, in fact i'd sooner we actually had games like v Leicester till the end of the season now. Why oh why go 1-0 up and not go for the throat like we do at home ???...Why invite them on ? It doesn't matter, we're 1-0 up and they have to come, so move your players up towards the halfway line and push on, the gap between our def-mid-front was stupid and anchored our play, take the feckin game to them ffs like we do when we're at home, if they score they score like Hudds did when we took our foot off the gas when 4-0 up, but ffs get 4-0 up first !!!
There's more than just that but i'm getting mysen worked up and havin heart palpitations.
Jeez DF - Rodon actually tried to tell you it was a fck up by galloping out of the defence with the ball towards the halfway line ffs, coz no one was available and it was a mess, i hope to God you've seen this, coz i thought it evident v Stoke but was perhaps the changes you'd made, but fer gawds sake don't start fcking around like we're Spain or summert coz we're not, get the feckin ball to our front 4 asap and let them do the rest.....WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND THIS IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP DON'T FORGET, AND NOT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
