Playing Dan up front is a good step but, much like Matty, he needs a supply of decent passes to his feet or, if at his head then someone else needs to be running onto the lay off following his control of the ball (If he controls it)
Matty needs crosses into the box where he can receive, turn and fire away.
If none of those options are happening, as is the case at the moment, then neither are going to score. Presently, Dan has the better options as he is a strong and fast player but that takes energy and he won't last the 90. Watching Matt go hunting the ball outside of the box is ridiculous as if he gets the ball, who is he going to pass to? There will be no-one there for him. Frustration then boils over and he gets into trouble fouling and then talking back to the ref.
We need a midfield of good passers and a willingness to run at defenders and run off defenders. Cross field hoofs to wingers isn't using the midfield.
It's often said on here that other teams have sussed out how limited tactically we are and set themselves up accordingly. The stats go some way to prove this. Possession yesterday 37% to 63% suggesting that we ought to have done better?
