This is not a rant but it IS something about our play that has been really been bothering/frustrating me for the past two seasons and, as it is still happening, I wonder if anyone is similarly frustrated.
In any competitive sport between two sides the aim is to gain the advantage and KEEP the advantage as long as you have it! Having possession of the ball is such an advantage!
However, time and time again we turnover possession to the other side- for absolutely no valid reason at all. Passes to no-one , picked up by the opposition; long kicks upfield when Frey's legs have clearly gone; throw ins where we give away possession 9 times out of 10; failure to control the ball and having the ball taken off our feet. We play header tennis when a number of our team are shorter than the opposition rather than getting the ball on the floor.
I am watching the teams below us and none of them seem to give away the ball as cheaply and needlessly as we do.
I don't mind if we play well and lose but when, time and again, we have the advantage and throw it away for no reason other than carelessness , panic, lack of ability or whatever, I find that we are actually beating ourselves!
Who needs to stop this rot? - Marti? The coaches? (The players clearly don't seem to be doing anything about it!) |  | | |  |

Some players who can pass the ball. |  | | |

I think this does apply to the teams below us. And those above as well!
It would be lovely if we did retain the ball though. Especially if we were making progressive passes! | | | |

Sign central midfielders that can actually pass. | | | |

Sometimes it's the passing, sometimes it's the lack of movement, sometimes it's not moving the ball quickly enough so that the player who ends up in possession after the third or fourth successive pass is surrounded by three opposition players. When confidence is higher two and three tend to improve which makes one easier. |  | | |
