There's going to be some teething problems with this complicated way of playing, but I think the long-term benefits are worth it.
naz I predicted the other day that Nketiah would start this game. Feels the right striker for today.
Saliba looks uncomfortable on the left. 2 errors already, not like him.
Also why force yourself to start Trossard when you know that he can come on in any of 5 positions. Plus games are 5+ minutes longer this season due to the rule changes. So your subs are more important.
Claudius yeah Trossard is going to get 40 minutes most games even if he doesn't start.
We're switching to 3 atb on the ball it seems
Eddie doing his best Adebayor impresion. Only stays offside.
This is why Matt Tuener has left.
Havertz not doing much nor helping accelerate play so far.
Think the space for us is down our left, need more involvement for Marti and Havertz
Pepe LeFrits balls not coming down the left at all.
We will be needing a striker.
GooneriC We will be needing a striker.
Found one.
Qwiss not a single attack down there. One at most maybe
Qwiss balls not coming down the left at all.
Havertz and Rice have been in nice little pockets of space a lot, as Saka and Ode are getting doubled up on
This formation is killing our width on both sides
Claudius
The left handside isn't functioning well without Xhaka. Rice keeps running into the left hand channel but his righfootedness means he keeps cutting back inside. Whilst, Havertz isn't offering enough in possession.
Great goal from Saka.
Partey getting very advanced.
Get in!!!
Need more of that from Eddie. Love how clinical it was and how he creates his own space.
Don Pacifico I take that back, lucky finish... 😂
Goal. created by Martinelli, my god
Omigod. What an inspired goal
YESSSSSSSSS
