Raya playing cb is an accident waiting to happen. Zinny is awkward today, moments of greatness then makes a stupid pass or choice
Odegaard is so good.
Jesus didn't see or ignored Havertz there
IBL completely ignored him

Thought he ignored him. Probably would have done the same if that was me heh.
Big Willie also thought Kai could have picked up a better position; think Jesus reassessed him and then decided to slot one into the centre.
Big Willie Gabriel was a BIG problem last season in our end of season collapse. He was consistently the weakest link when we were pressed.

Gabriel was in no way our big problem in our end of season collapse. All the players we were missing in the backline was. Its pretty convenient to ignore all that and lay the blame on the one guy who remained in the team actually doing his job at the back.
naz not liking Havertz much at the moment but he was in a good position to have a go at goal if he got the pass from Jesus
Such a shit final ball from Jesus.
Rice taking corners to avoid jostling in the box due to his back injury? Otherwise it makes no sense
Big Willie
I'm specifically saying he was the weaklink in our build-up, not hos defending. Which, aside from his brain farts, is excellent, but teams definitely pressed hard when he got the ball, and he was a big problem because he couldn't handle it - too often he'd lose the ball or put someone else in trouble.
Why is saka gingerly running there, is he ok? He had a full field ahead of him

He's down.
Big Willie before that stamp. He casually ran down the right wing. Something's up. This game is too tentative. Need a second
Rice looks off the pace.
daredevil playing safer than normal, and he's normally pretty safe

This was the same period when Zinchenko and Odegaard were making square balls which led to direct goals against us? The same time Ramsdale was giving the ball straight to their striker to score? Can you mention the times where his loose touches or passes or even brain farts led to a goal for the opposition during that specific period? Come on mate, that's a big stretch laying the such blame at his feet like that.
good stuff Kai Edit: actually its not well timed but its not a booking
See right there when Zinny gave the ball to Rice in thr center circle, if Rice managed to turn and give the ball back to Zinny we'd have had a whole field ahead of us, instead we passed it back to Gabriel. These kinds of things makes it harder for us to get out in the first phase of our buildup.
And that's why you have to bully refs, throw yourself to the ground, etc. They are blind and stupid, and if you don't do it, you get stamped on and risk injury, and you don't get the free kick.
That Raya is quite shit , 3 times now he's kicked the ball straight at a Bournemouth player and he was hardly under pressure.
GooneriC he'll pick out a blinding pass once in a while, but seems to take risks in passing that don't always pay off
