Thought they were doing that at will before then, hence the subs.O'reilly came off and suddenly Leicester sliced through our cm at will.
MOR was blowing, thought that was probably the right decision.

I would have left him on and taken Wellbeck off as MOR at least got into some great positions then put another midfield on.To be honest I thought they were as poor as each other (I know we discussed it).)
Both were sloppy, both missed chances.
Both had good moments
Both got in great positions.
I think MOR needs to play further forward, as he simply offers little support in the middle and Ayari got through a mountain of work, as he was often covering MOR.
Understand why, but he played as though he had Lallana’s shooting boots on.I would have left him on and taken Wellbeck off as MOR at least got into some great positions then put another midfield on.
David O'Really?O’Really?
Definitely time to shift O'Riley out ASAP. Apart from making half of NSC behave as if they're dyslexic, he's making them look as thick as mince as Millwall and Leeds supporters, not to mention Palarse hoody-clad ultras.
Obviously, six letters (plus an apostrophe) is too demanding for some, so he's just got to go. It's getting embarrassing now.
But we didn’t really play him as an 8. We reverted to Ayari as the 6 and then two 10s pushed him when going forward.Understand why, but he played as though he had Lallana’s shooting boots on.
I wasn’t surprised he started post-Palace, because he played well up there, but was surprised he started in that position, because he doesn’t have enough positional discipline, which puts pressure on his midfield partner.

It was pre-Forest all over again.
But it’s without possession is the issue, because he doesn’t tuck in, certainly not quickly enough.But we didn’t really play him as an 8. We reverted to Ayari as the 6 and then two 10s pushed him when going forward.

I really don't get all this "play him as a 6" and "two 10s" stuff. In my day a 6 was a left half and a 10 an inside left. No one has explained the new numbering system. Really would appreciate an explanation. In modern football parlance what actually is a 10? What is an 8? What is a 6? Is it only midfield roles that have these random numbers associated with them? Where did they originate? Serious question.
It is odd how this has suddenly crept into the game. Old school numbering with modern day squad numbers. I don't like it.I really don't get all this "play him as a 6" and "two 10s" stuff.

Missed that thread. Thank you. Asks a lot of questions, but couldn't see many clear answers. And in particular, how did the new "numbering" develop?[Football] - A number 6 is...
I reckon how people answer is largely determined by their age.www.northstandchat.com
No worries, I understand how difficult it is for you.Sorry Suzy
A number 6 is the old number 4 (I think).[Football] - A number 6 is...

....and what happened with changing the order in which the teams are listed? Who decided to do that and why? In the days of 1 - 11, we listed 1 GK, 2 RB, 3LB, 4 RH, 5 CH etc. RW was always 7, LW 11. Going to a back four complicated it a little - so it went 1 GK, 2 RB, 5 CB, 6 (or4) CB, 3 LB, etc.Missed that thread. Thank you. Asks a lot of questions, but couldn't see many clear answers.

Essentially, under FH when attacking we play with one holding player and two attacking midfielders, often pushed right up against the defence, often alongside the wingers and the central striker.I really don't get all this "play him as a 6" and "two 10s" stuff.

But it’s the starting position that’s the issue.But it’s without possession is the issue, because he doesn’t tuck in, certainly not quickly enough.
As bad as Dunk's?Made a bad mistake leading to their first goal.
But the point remains, I like MOR further up, but (unless instructed), he seems to absolve himself of tucking in when out of possession.But it’s the starting position that’s the issue.
Post-Forest, that second player was deeper giving them more chance to stop the transition / counter.
Against Villa and Leicester, we’ve been back to the old way with them being higher up.
Was pretty poor. In real time I kind of missed Dunk's mess up as I was tearing my hair out over O'Riley losing the ball.As bad as Dunk's?
