Larin would have scored if he was playing week-in week-out in a competitive league like the Championship.

Mostly agree, except we don't have the defensive mid in there.  We also have two very offensive wingbacks that are not doing defensive work.  This is not the formation for a RCB to be bombing down the field to cross.

Correct.

That has nothing to do with actually playing him there or making opportunies for him to cross.  He just has to know that if he doesn't have cover, he can't bomb on.  

[JAVIERF]

I want Colyn in that role and David up front with a big lad 

[costarg]

My over/under:  21 shots on target for canada.

[Dominic94]

Good strike almost caught him off guard

[El Hombre]

Just like they drew that corner up on the chalkboard.  Perfect.

I think that Trini left back is quite good, and fast, I am not sure but I get the sense he's holding well. 

But Buchanan is also not finding a lot to associate with, not any of the three strikers really.

Apart from David's shots, it's been pretty tame, honestly. 

[Unnamed Trialist]

One of those games you are so superior that you don't really need to all be on top form. 

[dyslexic nam]

As soon as they got possession their striker was ready to burn past out CBs looking for the ball over the top.   They have one play and unfortunately it is the one play. We are susceptible to and not really set up to combat.   

[scullion44]

These crosses across the box are dreadful

[Dominic94]

Brutal by Buchanan 

[El Hombre]

It would be really cool if we put the ball in the net.

[Unnamed Trialist]

Come on, for that last Trini counter, we had 4 guys back, vs. three attackers. Then our fifth guy trailing back was David. Really, David is the guy going to cover before the mids?

And extremely predictable.

[Vasi]

This is why we need better coaching. We need some innovative tactics and someone who can motive out guys. 

[shermanator]

Less Buchanan. More SHAFFENBURG.

[jhoops__]

Not liking the feel of this 

[DeRo_Is_King]

It looks like they are actually struggling in the final third -- both based on the end product and by the frustration on their faces. Not exactly inspiring confidence against a supposedly vastly inferior side. 

[JAVIERF]

3-4-3  is alright the players are not the correct 

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Better corner. 

 

Ref protecting both keepers.

Lol. The commentator is bitching about the quality of Davies corner kicks. 

[JAVIERF]

Shaffelburg on please for Ukgo and Piette / Fraser for Koné asap!!

I'm screaming for simple tactics and formation.  I feel he's trying to innovate too much with RCB's bombing down the field, #10 defending in his own box with 3 CB's.  Gotta put the guys in their natural positions and KISS.

[dyslexic nam]

I would put Millar in for Ugbo at half.  You know he would bring high energy.

This is a dreadful performance
