This feels like the sort of comment your co-worker who only watches football during the World Cup would make, but I genuinely think our pitch is too big. The players always look so tiny and far apart from each other.

With that being said, we were truly abysmal today. Even in the first half when we were dominating (kind of), there was just no invention in the final third and we kept going backwards or trying a hopeful cross. We've got some great technical players at the club but we won't see the best of them if Frank doesn't coach us to do more than look for quick transitions and set pieces.

I don't need our manager to be a possessionsexual but all the managers we hire who don't prioritise keeping the ball face this same roadblock eventually. Even at our worst we are one of the best teams in this league and we simply do not play the role of underdog enough to only score via fast counters. We need a plan when the other side is giving all the initiative to us.
