Williams showing enthusiasm to run in behind. Great to see.

Then looked up and realised there’s no one in the box 😂 Better get used to that kid!

Aye good lad Fred, don't bother passing to the unmarked LB at the edge of the box have a shot from 35 yards that rolls into the first man instead.

No high press and simple pass almost splits us open because of it.

Are we playing with no striker? Or no left winger?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like it has settled into a 4-2-3-1 with James up top and Greenwood at RW.

Awful, no need for it.

Filthy turn from Gome there. Exactly what you need in CM.

Gomes and GW swapped wings now.

AZ better with the ball than us.

We started well but AZ coming into it and Williams will have a tough night against their right winger

Why can we not just play Greenwood the striker up front , James the winger out wide, and Gomes the CAM behind them?

Trying too hard Ole.

This.

Fred has as many fouls as completed passes so far.

The Gomes-GW swap lasted all of 3 minutes. Bizarre.

Agree.

I've only just turned it on though and AZ look comfortable

Fred has been awful

What kind of dire tactics is Ole employing here? Slowly proving he doesn’t have what it takes

Subtle change tonight is that the full backs are taking up much higher positions when we have the ball.

Understatement

AZ are on their 7th corner in only 20 mins.
Matic and Fred absolute passengers in midfield.

Looks like we're on a 4-1-4-1 with GW up top now

====================
No formation, we are just running around, manager is clueless

First XI or so-called second string, we cannot keep possession and don’t have players who can hold onto the ball in tight spaces.

Just when you start to think Europa league is our level it then begins to look like we’re not even good enough for that, as for the tactics just plain odd

All mata does is pass sideways, what exactly does he add to our game? Yet he gets a 3 year contract

It's took you over a year to realise

Hook Mata at HT. He is done. Get Chong on for him.

Let Gomes actually play at #10 or just off GW.
Play the two wingers as wingers and Greenwood as a striker.

4-3-3 OR 4-4-1-1.

Natural finisher

The issue isn't his passing, it's that he doesn't have the legs to get on the end of passes from others or make 1-2s.
