Worrying that theres no pattern to our play..

[alias75]

Benitez places a huge emphasis in training on getting the team pattern of play right, Torres has talked about the team movng together whether we're attacking or defending, given this its particularly worrying that in our last few games theres been no real cohesion, no pattern to our play, no real movement off the ball if this is what we're working on all the time in training why isnt it happening?

 

At our best under Rafa we have resembled the brilliant Valencia team, when the team plays this way we're unstoppable, but how many times have we done that? Valencia played that way almost all the time.

 

Whats the reason for this? Does rotation mean the players cant gel and strike up those partnerships? Defence is an area that hasnt been rotated too much and in that respect we have been very consistent, midfield and upfront is chopped an changed and it shows.

 

Maybe the players we have arent tactically smart enough to carry out Rafas gameplan, Valencia were a well oiled machine all their players knew their jobs and did them, when he rotated the new player coming in did a good job. It cant be a coincidence that since Alonso's been missing we've looked aimless.

 

I hope this is another case where these poor performances are a blessing in that its showing Rafa who isnt up to it, and who cant cope with rotation we know how ruthless he can be i think a couple of players already have their cards marked.

theres no real partnerships in the team due to too much rotation.

 

How are the strikers gonna develop a understanding if they play 1 in 5 together, You have Sissoko play one game and Mascherano play the next how can you have any cohession in your play if your main players are dropped every other game

 

Five changes from the weakend is a ridiculas amount.

I'm worried as well.

 

I'm worried that we play Spurs next, I'm worried that the derby is coming up. I'm worried that the team are playing like a complete bunch of strangers.
