I got it wrong. I mean, we're still 4th and comfortably behind Villa, but it's only after having played just one game more. And it's only 10 points behind first. Also having played a game more. So, it's all peachy. Wait until Salah is back 👍🏼
SO what's happened lads. This is a summary of this time at Feyenoord.. supposedly his team was known for being attacking? Today we looked like we were playing u10 football, with everyone crowding into the same space around the ball, and no consistent width

This highlight reel unfortunately looks like us, sort of.
Lots of goals scored with fantastic shooting outside the box (yeah i know we're not scoring many bangers, or many at all)
Quite a few with the winger cutting in then either crossing to the back post os shooting, a la Gakpo or Salah.
Comparatively few really nice passing moves
Not many with real width
Virtually no fast breaks or through high turnovers.
Of course could just be the editting, but if you were to put together 30 "good" goals and wanted to demo why we are shite, this video would be it.
You can see why we are struggling. We're doing all the stuff on this video, but it's predictable and the opposition can stop the cutting in and crossing, and get in the way of our shots from outside the box.
