This injury is damn annoying and damn unnecessary
all because linesmen refuse to raise their flags even for flagrant super obvious offsides, and defenders are forced to sprint back unnecessarily
especially so for teams that play a high line like us
None of our whole gamut of midfield players can / would have made that assist
the willingness and desire to run into space and then to deliver such a peach of a ball
👏🏻
Killed us today
watching Doku against chelsea, he faces n looks to take on his opponent every time, and opponent had to double team on him
Neto is the same imo
Even if it’s not him, we need someone like that
Man for man, one on one, we lost most of our duels today
our players just couldn’t beat their opponent
and our passing was poor
Hard to tell how much of it was down to tactics and our set up and how much of it was down to performance of the players
Most of the current top 8 have to play one another still
City has now won their last 5, Arse last 4 and Man U last 3 while we are unbeaten in 5, putting us 4th in the form league
i still believe we can finish above arsenal though
He’s probably the only player in the squad who would have scored that equaliser (and although Lolo showed glimpses of back to his best to get out of the situation he was in)
He was absolutely everywhere
My motm
The timing of his run & the quality of his cross made the winner possible
to be able to sub off Bentacur Werner n Deki with Yves Sonny n Johnson and to continue to press and run at the opponents is so devastating
Why are so many posters looking behind us?
surely let’s look upwards.
2 points behind villa, 5 behind arse, 7 behind fools n potentially 8 behind city if they win their both games in hand
but they are all still in Europe, all still have cup fixtures to contend with and all still to have play...
He has the footballing brains and technical ability but he doesn’t have much pace nor the kind of skills to dribble out of a 2 v 1 press
hence he needs runners in and around him.
Bentacur Sarr n Porro in and around him will help him loads
Better runs from Johnson will also help him
Knowing...
He hasn’t had a string of games where
(1) hes playing in the same position
(2) same players in and around him
to me this is why Deki has not been his usual self
telepathic understanding of who and what your team mates like to, can do, and will do, is so important to flow of football
he’s been...
What I really like about Werner as a LWF is that you can totally see fullbacks not daring to commit for all it takes is a mistimed commitment and Werner has pace to burn behind you. Or that Werner has enough experience to know when to go on the outside or inside. (As opposed to Gil for eg where...
I’m glad @bomberH and @TheAmerican mentioned his 2 long shots
that’s what I noticed too last night, and they were both decent efforts - with power and to the corners of the goal, just unfortunately too high / wide.
we haven’t seen him take this kind of shots before iirc, most of his shots or...
