I share the frustration as the mainly young professionals fill the bulk of the first team places.I also share the view that we are currently 8th and will probably finish somewhere around 12th.For all those reasons I can understand the desire to give Cooper another chance.
Our team does not value possession and gift the ball to opposition far too often.
Very few players are finding space, they are mainly static.They do not seek to provide an outlet when we are in possession.
We are playing mainly sideways or backwards.
We therefore invite opposition regardless of their quality to press high and force us into mistakes.
Apart from Ayew we have few players to offer any form of aerial challenge and as a small team we are being outmuscled by the physically larger opposition.
Several of our players appear fit for up to half an hour and then when they lose possession they stop , rather than try to win the ball back, increasing pressure on our back four.
If the club is to persevere with the current management team then we need to change
our training and tactics and team make up.It is hardly surprising that Leon decided to leave when he did, as everything he excelled at on the pitch has been sacrificed.
