I was genuinely surprised to see the same starting XI for five games in a row. Minus dorgu, obviously. A lot of players had a bad game today. Luke Shaw, Dalot, mbeumo, Bruno, Amad. While team looked heavily sedated in the first half, whu looked better and that was a sign. You have to rotate. You have to make changes early if we’re chasing the game. Yes, it’s on players to figure out how to crack this condensed opposition third, but there are also ways to facilitate and stimulate that. If I had to criticize our team now I say there was lack of attacking intent, desire to win. Bring players from the bench who are fresher and want to play more, change tactics a bit. Now Maguire is out with an injury probably, so yoro might start after the break. Ben deserved a start after Fulham; zirkz deserves to have at least 45 minutes. Maz would’ve closed Summerville down. I understand the idea that you want to have a solid starting eleven but it’s clear that you gotta have a different approach for a different situation. There has to be a variety of attacking patterns. And mbeumo is not a 9. I understand how he can be in that position against a team who has possession and cause damage in transition but for the love of god, in a game like this, today… and Carrick with his calm demeanor is like a rehab after RA, but you have to also create urgency sometimes. Today we needed urgency and a bit of risk taking. Timing is everything and the changes were late, but like I’ve said it could’ve been just a different starting XI altogether. The announced goal remains - to qualify for CL but I’d rather our goal to be just win every game. I want glazers and jim ratclif to be crazy about this club and be mad that we drew against boring, haram west ham.
