Alfred Johansson identifies two ‘basic’ issues to turn around Motherwell form

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson has urged his team to focus on basic principles to reverse a four-match losing streak. Following consecutive defeats against Celtic, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Rangers, the Fir Park side is preparing to face bottom-placed Kilmarnock on Saturday. Johansson emphasized the critical need to improve intensity when protecting the penalty box and to press with greater collective cohesion.

Johansson also noted requirements to attack with more players and improve counter-pressing to prevent transitions. Motherwell's squad depth is set to improve, with right-back Johnny Koutroumbis available for selection, while Regan Charles-Cook, Oscar Priestman, and Callum Hendry are expected to return over the next two weeks.
