Are We Going Down?

[Reds73]

I’m most worried about how we have completely changed our counter attacking set up which (mostly) served us well last season to a possession based approach we don’t have the players for and we don’t seem to know how to play it. The lack of a goal scorer is a massive problem and despite the investment we aren’t even creating many decent chances.

When you concede first to a team like Everton, who have lost all their front line to injury, then they defend the edge of their box, of course you are going to have all of the ball.

Last year we scored first so many times, that teams had to cone onto us and then we could hit them.

If we had scored first, we wouldn’t have had 70% possession
