There is no way around it. Madders is by quite some margin below how he played at the beginning of the season. The question is wether he's just not 100% fit at the moment, or wether he's just an inconsistent player. So, has he always had purple patches like the first 10 matches of this seaoon?
I feel like our expectations are slightly skewed by how seamlessly Van de Ven slotted in to that CB position. He's an exception to the rule, imho and he's probably on of the most talented defenders of his generation. The truth is that most players will need more time, especially at a complex...
Really? Deki was instrumental in the first three goals. That said, Johnson looked much more decisive today. Much more like an "Ange"-winger if that makes sense.
I'm sceptical. As we've seen the past years in football with VAR, efforts to regulate ends up causing even more 50/50 decisions and arbitration. The blue cards will just be one more talking point in the studio and for Arteta to complain about.
I'm with Ange on this. A lot of things were better...
Majestic tonight.
Far too many are wrongfully concerned about his lack of pace. He’ll never blaze past his opponent, he’ll never be a meta card in FIFA but look at all the chances he’s creating. He’s an elite player.
It’s all about being able to sustain the pressure and playing like this for 90 minutes.
The last few matches we have dropped of significantly in the second half.
