Really hate Elliott on the right, he always struggles there. Dunno why he isn't given a chance to play deeper.

Hope we can see a reaction today but the effort and intensity level has to be upped else we'll make a struggling West Ham side look good.

COMON U REDMEN!!

Let’s hope we don’t concede!

Hmm, seems unlikely!

Danns not on the bench? Zero goals in that team really. Let’s hope we don’t concede!

Trent can score, Grav has scored recently, as has Gakpo and Elliot.

Zero goals and pace in the side.

Might as well have whacked Danns in instead of Elliott.
Zero goals with Salah and Nunez on too to be honest so not really that different when you think of it that way.

Both have deservedly been dropped imo.

Glad to see those players dropped.

Going to really struggle again today, that West Ham line up looks certain to cause us a lot of problems.

Those who deserved to be dropped have been dropped, so I'm pleased with that.

Hopefully, now the league is gone, they can play stress-free and put a performance in.

Dropped all the players who have shat it recently. Nice.

What's the alternative? That we're still playing exactly the same way in 2040 because we can't possibly disturb the precious under-11s?
I am still waiting for someone on here more knowledgeable than me to reply this message. Its a fair point mind. Are we always going to play the same because we had Klopp?

Already adressed mate.
This isnt about Arne or Klopp anymore.
The club needs to have its own identity.

Well yes to put it crudely.

Changing the formation from U9s to first team requires a mammoth phase shift in our understanding of the systems. Players, coaches etc. will have to be "rehired" or "reeducated" and will need time and effort to change their roles and some may work out and some may be moved on. Its a huge effort to change the system. You already know that.

With 1 system in place, we will not be a "jack of all trades" club. We will be focussing all our efforts, energy and education in one particular system. We will be perfecting the system at every opportunity we get. So any coach that comes, 30 years from now, will have a blue print to work with and optimise it the way he deems fit. It will be a switch between possession or counter attacking or Kloppo or whatever brand of football. But the basic skeleton will be the same. Players will be mastering one particular playing style, will be played in one (or two or three) positions and will be reliable when called to the first team.

This is not about what fits our club in the present. But what our club will stand to represent in 30-40 years from now. And beyond that actually.

We will have our own La Masia. Or Campus Bayern from where we will be churning out our local lads for the first team.
