Pull mowatt back so it’s 3 centrally instead of two with one in front. Take mowatt off all together and play Carroll who can play as a defensive midfielder. Stop playing it to the striker who constantly looses it meaning the midfield come straight back under pressure. Play a better centre back so ur midfielders ain’t having to cover defensive mistakes and weaknesses . I can go on, but I’m guessing u weren’t expecting 1 answer let alone 5 [emoji6]
Yep,a big problem is that Mowatt and Payne before him, play as a rigid player in front of the midfield,they don't drop back to help the midfield out when we lose the ball and they also don't play close enough to the lone forward.Thomas then gets isolated followed by Mowatt,then both are out of the game and the midfield just doesn't push up to attack,we then cant hold any sort of possession in the oppositions half.
