I’m not going to be critical of Izzo, but I agree his disposal is an area for improvement. Also, I am not privy to the inner workings of the club but he is not an upgrade on Eugene and still wonder why Eug was let go.I would love to know how many goals we have conceded this season due to passing around in our own penalty box or defensive 1/3.
Genuine question, why do we persist with it when City were obviously pressing high on our defence and you could see a dangerous turnover was coming from a mile away? It happens regularly.
It's my understanding that by drawing their forwards out we create space in behind to play through but we constantly get caught with Izzo on the ball losing it/kicking it out of bounds or one of our full backs are pressed hard up against the corner flag with nowhere to go. Is there a point where we need to change it up so as not to be so predictable?
I'm not suggesting we lump it forward every time we get it but we let so many teams back into games from these errors that could be prevented.
I'd also argue that as much as I do love Izzo, his foot skills under pressure are not great. Certainly not up the standard of Galekovic and even he made some classic mistakes trying to play out from the back as we typically do.
