Yes that midfield is not right at all atm. Arteta is going to have to figure it out and fast.
Pepe LeFrits I hope so, this midfield doesn't look close to ready.
Let's sell Partey. That'll fix it
flobaba it's fine cos Jorginho or Elneny.
Gazza M Yeah I don't like him deeper either. It is looking like we need another combative midfielder in there instead of Havertz.
Eddie should be finishing that
Timber and Havertz somewhat affected Rice's possession and Tomiyasu's defensive engagement I thought.
Did ESPN just go blue then to an ad for everyone else?
Qwiss Did ESPN just go blue then to an ad for everyone else?
😆 Americans
Qwiss yup
We shouldn't be playing preseason on pitches like this.
We need a striker. Eddie isn't good enough , neither is Jesus or Balogun.
GooneriC not many of those around atm
Not the best debut for Rice, overwhelmed by the role.
Why are we persisting with Eddie?
Lol Partey passing is so effortlessly good
Crazy how many duels were losing… to academy players too. Weird performance.
I’m starting to resent Eddie.
goon yeah. the boys don't look like they were expecting the mancs to be this up for it. we haven't tested heaton at all apart from that martinelli chance early on either.
Rice needs to start learning to play through the lines and the press otherwise our dual 8s are going to be rendered useless.
Almost by Havertz, slightly high for him by Ødegaard. He just ghosted in, that is something which could be very useful for us.
Partey and White have made us more our usual selves
Mirth much more.
Mirth they were 2 of the best players in their positions last season, it shouldn't come as any surprise. The new guys need to earn the right to play ahead of them.
They've pressed us like we pressed them last season and done it very well
