Auba is really bad lately, both our strikers have been so poor

Ffs Auba.

Laca creating our best chance to date for Auba

It has more to do with not relying on a "playmaking central defender" or however it was you put it

If anything Elneny is showing today that he's the first capable replacement we've had for Xhaka in years. He definitely has to continue starting on current form though.

Spot on about the play making defender.

I'd still rather Ceballos over Elneny.

oh dear ma auba.. great chance

guy is bouncing a ball on his head going away from goal and you foul him.

Auba's confidence seems totally shot. Tame effort.

Unacceptable for a player with his profile, needs to pull his head out of his ass and put the ball in the net.

Dive

fs, all the streams are fucking worthless today

why can't we just play pepe at center forward since we just want to counter anyway.

Partey a tad quiet this half, and even the latter part of the first half

Great recovery from Elneny.

Ya elneny and partey are very complementary. They've been solid. Just need some creativity from the forwards. Get pepe in, maybe that'll help

Tom so strong.

So annoying how deep Laca is when the cross comes in.

These things are reinforcing. Watch Xhaka’s passing patterns. I’m on the Stat zone app looking at Elneny’s passing.  It’s quite varied and has Willian and Partey in his top 3 recipients. Xhaka usually has central defenders as his main passing recipients. He is very responsible for the ball tromboning in the back. The guy makes us conservative
