One thing I notice watching Arsenal and City is they pin teams back much better than we do. We have a lot of possession deeper but when we’re that far forward teams play through us pretty easily. Lets them attempt more risky passes because the other team rarely punishes it
We were very good at that peak Poch.

Lose the ball but thre opposition couldn't get a grip and be allowed to attack us.

It did take a while to get up to that level though.

Arsenal have only just got better at it.

It's true though, the more you can do it the more it increases your chances of scoring as the opposition struggle to maintain focus from being under pressure, winning the ball and immediately being under pressure again

Grealish looking pretty good this game. If he has a good end of the season I think he’s still probably England’s best option on the left

Havertz just got booked for a dive. I haven’t watched every PL game going - but that’s the first one I’ve seen penalised since Bissouma

I think sterling got one after bissouma. No one has had a 2nd yellow for it though

I wonder if the gravity in England is stronger than they have in Germany, he does seem to fall down a fair bit.

Ref's will cotton on.

The way city are popping it around tonight is what we've stopped doing recently.
The one touch stuff for us has fallen off a cliff

Feel like City’s overall play is better without Haaland
Yeah more dynamic as their front 3 are more fluid.

Haaland stays central so they don't have that dynamism as they had before.

Take more chances though with Haaland
