I agree, Jeeks. We look so clueless in attack. So slow.
With the current squad at Capello's disposel, there is no excuse for these lacklustre performances. We move the ball around so nonchalantly and slowly. Before we even get close to the other team's goal area, so many minutes have passed and their entire defence is regrouped. The only way to attack then, is to send in a cross into a crowded box.
With an Ibrahimovic unable to head any ball decently though, those crosses are wasted. Half of the crosses will be defended against anyhow.
Nedved never even crosses the ball. Nedved has lost the ball, after thinking an half hour about what to do, the following second he stumbles over his own feet.
Nedved is besides my point though. As the players, we have, should be the least of our problems. Copying what you said, Jack; I wonder if Capello trains the team to attack. Look at the names of our offensive players: Trezeguet, Del Piero, Mutu, Nedved, Zalayeta, Camoranesi and even Olivera. You can't tell me these players aren't good enough to create at least one goal chance in an entire half ?!(We had 0 shots at goal vs Milan).
I often wonder, why Capello keeps clinging unto Nedved and Ibrahimovic among others. Maybe Capello is afraid of the 'name', intimidated by their reputation. Even with Emerson or Vieira, hypothetically he would never sub any of these, even how much a change of tactic is needed in the middle of a game.
Don Fabio rather plays the big named underperformer, instead of the in-form (tactic changing)'humbler' player.
It has been said time and time again though on this forum, it's Capello's tactics that are making us suffer. 0 Shots at goal ! Not even one shot OFF TARGET, in an entire half! With these players, Capello should be ashamed. Blaming it on luck, that's so cheap and weak.
Another point altogether:
With all these relatively easy wins against the smaller clubs so far this season, and last season in part, I feel we have lost the ability to suffer in a match. We succumb, when our teams is under pressure. Compare this season's Bayern loss to last season's win against Bayern, what a contrast. Also under Capello, we rarely ever get back into a match. After conceding a goal, we're down and out. A psychological problem?
Anyway, enough for Capello to work on..
