Our lack of attacking options is alarming. With Matondo, Cortes and Danilo out we have no pace at all. Everything gets slowed down because we don't have anyone who can go past a man. We couldn't even bring on a pacy forward from the bench to stretch them. This has to be the focus in January for signings.

As my son pointed out to me earlier, we have 4 defenders, 2 defensive mids, that only leaves 4 to attack, which is ridiculous, especially at home!

Probably the thinking is the 2 fullbacks should be bombing forward making it 6 attacking.

Agree Alloa but Tavernier's days of bombing past anyone are over. Jefte is capable but if the opposition drop back quickly it won't matter how quick any of our full backs are because there's no space to go into.

Don’t think it’s as simple as just 4 players attacking. The amount of players attacking isn’t the problem, 2 full backs plus a holding midfielder or two holding midfielders. The only two players usually not attacking are the centre halfs.

firstly we were poor but defensively they didn't really threaten us much.
one of the FBs goes forward and the other sits or tucks in. the winger cutting inside should create the space for the FB to overlap. so we would have at least 5 going forward. also when Dio plays he is more attacking than Raskin. PC subbed him I reckon because he wants to sit and play square passes. Barron gets forward as well and swaps with Dio. the style is attacking enough but the players didn't manage that as well today. we played the same style on Thursday and it worked so why do people think it is a problem today.

Just read another thread where someone is saying we don't have anyone back apart from the two CBs and Barron dropping in. funny how everyone sees what is happening differently.
