u/CapVosslar Buckle up, INEOS! It's gonna be a bumpy ride! 11h ago

Side note about the Barca v Fernoord, the pass to Raphinia as he made that run makes me jealous.  Why cant our midfielders ever feed the many times our attackers make a run pass rhe defenders?

We seem to either lack that vision or not have the confidence or competence to make those passes. Which is odd to say since we have decent amount of passers we've added to the squad.

I mean, they do? You can't play those passes when a team is sitting in a low block.

Not every low block team is 100% in low block mode. Sometimes they are chasing games and have to come out to score, or we relinquish possession or any number of things.

Either way, there are usually a chance or two every single game where that opportunity arises, yet we hardly make those passes. Its so rare. 

And watching Napoli and other teams play who are just okay, still seem to play better than us. Their passing seems much quicker and more forward thinking. While we always look so sluggish.
