@mixedknuts Now do open play xG for that season for comparison? Think style of play and attacking focus important part of the discussion.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 This is the classic Palace are outplaying us and down two goals at half time. Very damning when we go up against a well-structured and drilled team.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 It’s wild how few options we present to the back 5 except for the first half against Fulham last week

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 Also put Gakpo in through on goal with an excellent pass that Slowdy passed to the keeper. How Wirtz gets more schtick than grav who put in a truly dreadful performance is wild.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 And Hugo has shown this season that he DOES care and chose us. Also shown immaturity which will improve

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 I think we were semi competent for 30 minutes then city made some slight adjustments and easily started beating our OOP structure. They upped tempo and were cooked the rest of the match. City never REALLY looked that challenged defensively.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@Biggies_MaIIs Slot has 'unlocked him'. Lost his discipline to score a couple goals. Enabled by the manager

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@Micks2B Tbf he has been one of those that have been honest about the team's mentality issues and struggles. Also always gives his all so maybe just venting frustration. Cannot be fun to watch stands empty and fans boo

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@A_GymGuy Slots idea of attack seems to only be predicated on wingers who can win a 1v1 and we don’t really have that 🙃

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 I think just one imposing physical midfielder with some attitude goes a long way. Having a dribbly 6 who cannot pass and lost any progress in his defensive approach this season hurts in and out of possession. He can rotate 8/10 instead

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 Might adopt this for every day life. Every time I mess something up just start limping.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 did you enjoy Szobo toward the end hitting his shot wide and doing the Saka limp? beautiful move.

Before Jurgen came in everyone was convinced the players were useless and ‘shithouses’ after a few months with Jurgen they looked like they’d run through a brick wall if he asked them to. Conversations around players are completely moot until you see them in a different context

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 @RoryGreenfield Graeme has turned into a true troll and engagement farmer with his slot in/all players out attitude

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 Very heavy on midfielders there

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 now we know again what Slot patterns and goal looks like - play, boring, win a set piece, use the meat wall - goal.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@davidlynchlfc Adopt the ‘meat wall’ tactic. Become boring

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 I meant what kind of system and coach can fit them in while keeping balance.

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 how can we make this work and with what manager? I cannot see fit with wirtz/ekitike/isak

[Aaron Miner @aminer]

@HendrickD82 Geertruida makes some sense with his relationship with Arne. Knows his principles, has relationship with multiple new teammates. Easier integration.
