The manager is obsessed and seems more pleased with how we “control” a game as opposed to actually winning it and scoring goals.
He keeps mentioning the need for a moment of magic or being more clinical but these are things that you can’t, ironically, really control.
You can’t simply say “well today we won’t do what we did at Livingston because this week we WILL produce magic”.
You can’t suddenly decide “oh today, I’ll be clinical”. Gerrard made a big deal about this an interview in the summer where he claimed to reflect on our failings last year, essentially saying we need to become more clinical.
I am becoming really worried we simply have one way of playing and we are literally clueless to do anything different.
It’s just so predicable. We will never change shape, never play 2 strikers, never play anything less than two conservative midfielders. It’s that way or the high way.
You can’t keep just putting it on the players, you need to be far more reflective in your role in this management team because for me your failing everyone here.
I’ve had enough of Gerrard going on about control, or Beale telling us how we use 2 number 10’s even though they clearly are not suited to it whatsoever. Or having 2 midfielders drop into defensive line for no benefit to the team at all.
Your making the same mistakes, time after time. Take ownership and change.
