All of those things are right

But, I would say that there is a low chance of anything good coming from Andy O's pass to Sara.

Even if he had controlled it instantly, what would he be able to do? Knock it to Giannoulis who is equally under pressure? Hammer it off the pitch? I guess he should have hit it first time out into the space in front of Hanley, but with his right foot, that comes with risk.

The left hand side of the pitch is so congested, the right hand side is completely empty. Why play down the left?! Surely the point of how we're setting up there, with Aarons right up the wing, is that we use him? Tactically, that doesn't look bad to me, he must be in acres of space ready to attack their exposed back line.

- To be fair Hanley was also out where you'd expect Aarons to be? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 11:19:04
  - There are many things that don't look good (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:27:24
    - Or Hanley could have come into that huge space to receive the ball easier (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 11:37:14

        Yes, it's a shit pass (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 11:51:32
        
        Yes, although that's more of a tactics point, isn't it? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:55:11
        
        Yes, that does look like how Wagner wants us to play (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 12:10:12
        
        And here is exactly what I'm trying to say but with diagrams (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 13:14:51
      - Yeah the full backs have to get involved and fill some spaces to receive (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Mar 16, 11:44:11
        
        Or, the CBs have to make better decisions (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:49:56
        
        When Andy O get's the ball you can see Kenny with his arm out telling him to pass it back (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Mar 16, 11:53:15
        
        Yes - and that's why Gunn is out of position too when we lose the ball (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 11:57:53
        
        Don’t forget Sara trapping it ten feet 🙄 (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 16, 13:22:10
  - Aarons and Dimi were up on the halfway line where they usually are (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 16, 11:22:14
- Pity we didn't keep PLM or Normann for another season. Both better than Kenny as DMC (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Mar 16, 11:16:09
  - It's a concern that Wagner has identified him as a deep lying playmaker (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:00:30
    - We don't have a better option, do we? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 16, 12:02:32
      - There's no obvious option (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:14:55
        
        getting the rest of the team used to it for when we buy one? (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 16, 16:39:00
        
        The trouble is Kenny can do it really well sometimes (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 16, 12:27:51
        
        yep, and I think it's a position where you really need consistency (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 16, 12:35:28
