one of the major issues with utr is they’re afraid to get into challenges and 50/50s, when the ball is dropping from the air you can see how scared they are go challenge and win the ball, the other team was more aggressive and didn’t hesitate to win the ball back so many times
Cause most of their players are too technical for that style of game, they rather touch it down and pull off some fancy skill (which we all know they can do) but they don’t have a powerhouse in midfield to run for 90minutes and not scared of a challenge
I’m not gonna lie love him but Thomas is a lazy striker> Reminds me of Lukaku with Man U. There was a point where he was preferred over Benny but it looks like he’s been lacking in fitness.
I’ll be interested to see how y’all respond, this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of adversity for the team, but it’s all self inflicted. Everyone knows how talented this team is even with all the new faces.
@@jg5520 They need to learn to do the basics, they have too many players who wanna be street ballers but they won't get you far against well drilled and physical teams.
Takes from the game :- 1) Thomas has been in very bad form for quite a few time now. 2) The midfield lacked creativity except Manny, it would've been an easy game if Eric and Adem was there from the start. 3) All those negatives comment about Sam but he is literally 50% of UTR's attack against good teams 4) The fitness was shocking boys, no pressing or recovering or aggression at all. P.S :- Marcel was shit. 😂 Whatever boys, come back strong ! ❤
@@THXRDVisuals Yea in previous years I would always agree. But just from today alone you can see how awful he was. Literally allowed the third goal by not marking his man. On attack he was always a step behind
Although I agree he was bad, I don't think it was favouritism, just the fact there wasn't really anyone else on the bench to take his place. Even Manny said when he was down that he hopes it's not bad because there's no one to replace him
It wasn’t mikes game at all, I remember watching spraying passes all over and he just seemed to keep trying to cross it in every time with not much quality🤷♂️ especially when the singers weren’t really getting into the box. Hope to see him come back on form and be the player he was before all the injuries
@@danhooper3467 i’ve been saying this, u can always tell with his subs. like a few weeks ago they were losing and he takes thomas off for benny. why not have them both on because they’re literally losing?!?
The team is never ever the same! It’s no wonder fluidity and press and passing isn’t as good as it should be! The inconsistency of the same players week in week out is what is hurting utr the most! Now I know it’s Sunday footy but goodness me the level of changes that have to happen and players playing in unfamiliar positions all the time is mad to me! Once or twice every now and then people let you down but there’s 5/6 changes every week and you wonder why a half decent team rolls you over!
Thomas hasn’t in his best form I hope he gets better soon but i think he need to not be starting for a couple of games . Not because he’s bad but sometimes it could be like a break for him and less pressure
Utr has always been a strong team but the midfield isn’t looking like they have in previous years need someone who’s strong defensively and a pass first player who can set up your attack or possession
Another phenomenal team you guys have come up against there Shape was excellent ! The two dms where sitting & they just countered attack you guys ! Basic mistakes other than that you guys definitely played well and held your own
Changes in managers tactics and shape have to be made. 3 weeks running now where teams have pressed and the pressure has gotten to UTR and you’ve lost them games
The problem I see in this game. - Marf is correct, no urgency, playing too safe, scared to even play the ball, lacking fight to win the second ball. - Hold the ball too long and too many touches in tight spaces, even if its Sunday league, opposition do not afraid to tackle. Its like UTR want to panna first before passing the ball. - No proper spacing, Idk what the gameplan is, but leaving your midfielder stranded is not the move. The midfield too rigid, need someone to creat spaces at the no 10 spaces and the half spaces. The winger did not have support from ... everyone really. Thomas is... I know hes the hold up striker but he needs to get close to his wingers and midfields to link up plays more often but Im assuming thats the gameplan. - Playing long ball is okay, but you need the WHOLE team to push up the pitch to press and win the second ball.
Class midfielders but instead of playing simple when it’s needed, the ball hog becomes too much. The defenders stand behind the attackers during crosses, making it more difficult to defend it. The final third, in 9 plays I’ve seen opportunities where a goal could have happened but you waste it too much on long shots and dribbling. Yes you can take long shots but do it at the right moment, not everytime you have space to shoot. There is always 1-2 persons in a better position than you. Other than that, the team is good

Got to press more higher up the field, the midfield was way too open. If your Cb is going up for corners etc, someone has to drop in and cover, you guys left massive gaps there. Classic case of a less technical team just doing the basics way better.
There's no point singling out one player. The work rate is not what we are accustomed to watch week in and week out. Midfield lacked creativity and we know they are talented. Wingers needed to be more direct, when Sam came on we saw glimpse of what UTR wingers do. It wasn't a good performance overall but I'm hoping next week you guys can bounce back.
Just by watching even I was like “it’s one of those games”, passes astray, missing second balls. But defensively as a shape and tracking was way off this game, work needing done there
Bit of aggression required especially against those bigger guys. You win games like this by digging in, screaming for every decision and showing bit of fight
I'm just a bystander but imo utr looked standoffish and afraid to go into challenges you can see that early in the second half and early in the first half utr looked as if they didn't know what to do so they just copied the opposition in playing long balls when it wasn't working but again just my opinion
