LVG’s “philosophy” is BS. Okay, he’s patched up things at the back a little (although that’s mainly due to Smalling delivering on his potential) but elsewhere is a ****ing shambles.
The team has NO movement. Watch someone pick up the ball … only to find they have no-one to pass it to. Players are too ****ing lazy to make themselves available.
As much as it pains me to quote a Dipper: “Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.”
He was right then and he’s right now.
