I’m being lenient on Xabi but he consistently makes so many team selection errors.
What does Neto provide at #9 against a low-block? What does Henderson provide?
Should’ve gone Emegha and Estevao instead of Henderson in a 4231.
I understand he’s new to the job and that I would have better knowledge of the players than he would, but I expect more. Sunderland have been better and deserve the lead, even if the pen was undeserved.
I’m actually glad he’s utilized a 433 in 2 games now. It’s the way forward if Estevao can outshine Palmer, and especially if we can add Scott into the squad too alongside keeping Lavia + Moi fit.
Coaches that are good at generating output for their strikers >>
Literally just proves that their system works to generate chances. We saw how JP exploded once Maresca left and Rosenior entered. He still hasn’t hit those levels under Xabi in terms of chance volume.
