Hoping a New Thread may fix the posting issues.
A soft pen and a soft outcome. Can we do anything properly?
It was very soft, but Dom, you have to score. At least hit the target. Criminal.
Tempo has been very good today. Szobo slowed it down once badly, but generally we’ve been good. Not easy to break down such a defensive team - we almost need to let them have the ball a bit so they don’t continually have 7/8 bodies in the box
Ah, fecks sake Dom
That kind of season
"Gakkers" WTF?
Szob
Christ
No pen that
Gakkers cut inside
Pen
So it works sometimes
I couldn't agree with this more.
We invested 450m from a position of strength in order to consolidate and push on. It wasn't for a period of painful transition where our title defense would be gone by Hollowean.
We were short a CB and LWF but no one could have expected what happened.
Szoboszlai holding onto it too long there when Frimpong basically had the whole side of the pitch to himself to attack into.
It's slowed down on purpose, and it's annoying.
I don't know how you can watch us attack, particularly after winning the ball back, and say the issue isn't primarily tactical.
It's purposely slow.
The performance against Arsenal has reminded Kerkez he was in the Premier League team of the season last year.
Always a scary moment that from Ali
Yeah we look well enough but we're living on half-chances here
Playing very well. Need to make it count on the scoresheet though.
Great ball out of pressure from Wirtz, good effort from Ekitike too
Really good tempo so far, keep it up
100% down the left today, Firmpong has pulled up a chair.
That pass down the line from Wirtz to Frimpong is great, he knows how quick Frimpong is and where to put the ball where only he can reach
Wish Gakpo would take a hour out of his day to learn to shoot with left, always comes back onto right and loses opportunities to shoot, annoying
Great work again by Kerkez, gets it Gakpo with 2 options for him to pass to and get us in a 3 v 2 in the box..............but Gakpo thinks the best option is the extra touch, cut inside and shoot! FFS.
in the context of that huge Marseille game, this team makes sense. If I’m picking one have for Jones, and one for Mac, this is the order I’d pick - Jones runs more, which is needed in a game like this. Mac will have time to dictate the midweek game.
Who is this exciting left back that's playing today?
High tempo opening, please keep it up
Great move. Hard luck Kerkez, did really well and good to see Jones make that run. Well defended in the end.
Lovely move.......great stuff from Kerkez bar the end bit
Totally disagree that Jones has been better than Grav over the course of the season. But Mac has had a lot of mediocre games. Whoever plays though needs to keep the tempo up
Bradley, Frimpong, Gomez and Szoboszlai are out first 4 choices at RB for the record. Surprised someone has to ask that
I think Jones has been better than Mac Allister and Gravenberch this season, earned his starting spot imo
I'd be surprised if it's not Frimpong at right back with Wirtz ahead of him. Hopefully they can reignite their relationship from Leverkusen.
I'd say Mac Allister is getting some rest ahead of Marseille during the week.
