To be fair, think Forest look really well organised and drilled. Whether they have the stamina to keep this up for the full ninety is another matter.
We get so much space in the box, even as packed as it is but we just can't make it count.
Qwiss most touches in the opposition box of any team in the league, mind. we ring-fence teams better than anyone, but that's as far as it goes. if this how we're going to play, just get an aerially dominant striker in and keep pumping crosses in
Nearly
Can't watch the match but from the outside a bit worrying that we don't seem to have solved that attacking dilemma and how we can improve our attack
We lack passing and creative abilities. Sadly not something you can address tactically.
Smith Rowe is also too attacking like Havertz.
daredevil we have loads of creative players.
Smith Rowe is way more involved than Havertz too. Has 26 completed passes in that half. Havertz managed 28 for the whole game vs Brighton which was also a dominant performance.
Qwiss
I don't think we do. We don't have anyone in the team who is even one of the best creative passers in the league, let alone Europe. Our most creative player is Saka and he creates through crossing. We have no-one who can consistently create chances from midfield. Odegaard has 16 total assists over 4 seasons. That's less than Ozil or Fabregas in a single season.
Good half. We need to find a way to draw them out. We are making life hard for ourselves by having so much territory.
Claudius feels like we're trying to draw them out but it's not really working. Wonder if we just need to let them have more of the ball in order to draw them out?
Claudius you draw teams out by creating overloads, but we don't create overloads anywhere on the pitch. jesus does it every now and then, but he lacks follow through. everyone else is locked into their positions to priotise the counter-press over spontaneity
We need the most elite of elite technicians up top if we're to succeed with the way we play.
I think Martinelli needs upgrading on.
Don Pacifico yeah it's all well and good setting the team up to have control but if we can't create the space we need maybe we need to let some of that control go, certainly in games we expect to be more dominant
It's a travesty that Saka has to be so wide. Get him in those Salah zones so he can shoot early much closer to the area FFS.
Gazza M I'm not sure how effective that is when your opposition are sitting deep and not pressing.
This is painful to watch. Get Havertz on for Jesus
Arteta when he has to break down a low block
Just fucking shoot!
Our field tilt and xG let's us know we are fine.
This is impotent football.
One counter and we are almost done there. I really don't like how we play
flobaba
Our tactics are fine. Would you rather Forest had more of the ball and had more attacks? We're lacking in the final moment.
