Sarri's style of retaining the ball only results in slow play , and doesn't create any openings anywhere. There are so many times when Sandro or Cuadrado are running with the ball, and Costa and Ronaldo go deep, but they never actually pass the ball behind the defensive line, and just either get stuck or have to turn and pass the ball all the way back..

Our midfielders dont make forward runs, Matuidi makes forward runs sometimes but opposition doesnt even care to mark him because they know he causes no danger.

Teams can literally park the bus to block whatever our front 3 throws at them. Opposition teams have to give zero fucks to any of our midfielders b/c they all suck and they know it...all they need to worry about is defending against 3 attackers...not 3 attackers, decent wingbacks and 3 midfielders...how easy is it to pack a defense to stop 3 players all underperforming?

Our midfield is the Achilles heal of this team. Sad part is they don't even need "stopped". They do nothing as it is, so there is basically nothing for an opposition team to stop.

New idea: Use your fullbacks and cross the ball to the best header in the game.

Too easy. Have you seen our crosses? :grin:


Couldn't resist.
Every single kind of crossing has been abysmal this season (freekicks, corners, crosses from open play). Still find it baffling that we have 2 of the best offensive headers in the game (De Ligt and Ronaldo) and still cannot score or create anything from our corners. :lol:
