We literally allow teams to be ready to pounce on us because we’re so fucking predictable. Simple tactic to send us out wide to absolutely ineffective wingers (all of them), so we’re then relying on a 9 who isn’t a penalty box striker to feed off poor wide play. We need to drop at least 80-100m...
As a ST I think he needs a 9 to partner him or it’s a task he’s not capable of doing and as a LW he needs an overlapping fullback to provide the width in attack so he can be more of an inside forward. Unfortunately he just isn’t well suited to either role in the current circumstances as the...
Really disappointed in Sarr in particular in that half tbh. He's capable of way more than this passive performance he’s putting in tonight. I was a huge fan of his performances earlier in the season but he’s really not been anywhere near that for a while now. There’s not a lot the lad can’t do...
Johnson has to have a tighter touch there on the dribble. He’s had very few opportunities to beat Cucurella and he should be taking every single opportunity to go past him 1v1 because he’s a terrible defender in those situations
I really think when you leave as big gaps as our fullback’s do you need to put the lone DM system in the bin. Too much ground for our DM to cover and the CB’s are left so exposed on the counter and during transition/quick turnovers. We need a top DM to play alongside Bissouma/Bentancur in a 2
Let’s say we do what is being suggested by ITK and we sign Werner plus another top winger (probably a LW).. In that case he’s going to be behind Werner, Solomon and a new signing for LW off the bat. Then you’ve got the fact that if Richy is fit no sane manager would play Gil over Son at LW...
He’s gonna be another player we’ve spent big money on that no one wants on a permanent deal, so we’ll have to loan him out until his contract expires. Truly an absolutely atrocious signing for the money and assets (Lamela) outlaid.
Yeah I really don’t think the calls for a LCB that can cover LB make any sense considering the demands of the inverted fullback position. I don’t think that player exists and if they do they’ll be of a quality which won’t make them coming here to be a backup an option. Davies is an ideal hybrid...
Everything you said I agree with but on top of that I always feel like he adds a real extra level of control and composure to the midfield. It feels like the more often he is on the ball the less you worry about us losing a grip on the midfield, it’s quite a unique ability and I definitely don’t...
Was coming in here to say this. As well as Kulusevski does in hold up and team play he is so so predictable and really often kills the flow of attacking moves with his constant cutting inside his man. Johnson has become both way less predictable with his play and is really showing excellent end...
