Not sure how we change it. So a good test for Frank.

One hope is Bournemouths game takes a lot out of them and start flagging after 60-70 mins

There is space to get the ball into. The problem is Sarr, Johnson and Kudus have all been static.

Get Odobert on as he will drive forward and has some pace to cause issues down that left hand side. And Bergvall on to find that space they are leaving with the press. He should work better in that space for this game than Sarr.
 
I'd bring Danso on for Johnson, get someone in the channels to help Porro and Udogie in transition, and when we have the ball get some bodies in midfield so we can keep the ball.
 
So... how has Iraiola achieved such a great display without a tricky #10? Or is it a combo of #10 ish players? I've been battling I.T. so haven't seen the full half.

Hopefully they run out of legs and we grow a pair of knackers and actually use the ball.

Vicario. I'd say Romero and VDV have been ok. Our defensive issues have come from out wide and structurally. They have had to deal with a lot and are just about coping.

Right but no one has played well. Romero and VDV have been less brick than the others. Vicario -- no complaints, I'd rather not notice the keep playing well anyway.

Moved the ball forward quickly into space.
We have been slow and can't find a pass...

we've also left the massive gaps for them to run into by not tracking properly and not keeping the defenders close enough

Bournemouth have played smart football, been much the better side, but we couldn't have made it easier for them
 
You think Richy could hold the ball up and stay on his feet just once. Also Johnson needs to practice passing . tinkle poor first half. As bad as Angeball when Ipswich etc were beating us at home.
Lets see what changes Frank makes to get a tune out if them.

I don't think any of that 3 have been brick for me. We've seen them a lot because the pressure has been on us, but I wouldn't say they are individually playing poorly.
