We need to be more direct at times - too much tippy tappy stuff around the box , extra touches when shots are on, the "one footed" players - Gardner and engone come to mind always have to get the ball on the stronger foot - losing opportunities. This happened all afternoon today.

O'grady won a lot in the air tonight and chased down everything- I reckon one of Lang or surridge playing off him could be very productive on Saturday.
Bunn spent a lot of the first half shouting at benteke to do more.
Always seemed like he couldn't be bothered - maybe he is a laid-back kind of bloke , but when you are playing football - there is usually lots of passion involved whether that's from the people watching or from getting kicked in the air on the pitch or scoring (snigger) but whichever he just didn't seem arsed... very frustrating player because with the ball at his feet he does have the talent.
Wide open midfield with no width
Defenders that struggle to defend - it is ok to boot the ball into the stand you know - don't have to always try and pass it out...
Like a fantasy football team- looks good on paper but ..
But I did think benteke showed that bit of composure the others didn't...
Today was the first time I have seen nazon actually pass the ball to a team mate! I think I would play him as an impact sub to run at tired defences - Doyle needs to play off someone who will put a bit of effort in - today he seemed to do all the chasing whilst nazon just mooched around.
