Notts Royal As pointed out, McIntyre has lots of great attributes to his game. However, speed certainly isn’t 1 of them. Which begs the question...why play a high line? Certainly the 3rd goal really exposed his lack of pace
Agreed no way should we be playing a high line with slow CBs and I don’t think it’s the way we play normally it’s just that we were chasing the game. At 2-0 we still had belief we could get to 2-2 and we’re just throwing everything at it.
For their third McIntrye in their half and had only just put in a cross into their box so it was a very attackign position to be in.
Then they blocked it a ]nd a couple of kicks later were pumping it down. McIntyre for some reason was walking about clueless when the ball came down and only started marking the guy when it was too late and he didn’t have the pace to threaten him. That would have been Richards’ job but God knows what he was doing, probably up in an attacking left wing position or something while Aluko was somewhere in the box, who knows.
But at 2-0 down we had no choice I guess. Perhaps if we’re pushing this high up chasing a game we need to switch and make sure we have a fast player at the back for any counters. I don’t know, I’m no football manager.
