very dusty start by us. suppose we just have to ride this out but our transitions have to get better. we're just hoofing it
We can't seem to break their press at all. We are so bad whenever any team high press us
Long balls are terrible.
Jesus is so deep defensively and doesn't have Martinelli's pace to quickly transition from defence to attack.
Pepe LeFrits left side is a mess. Kiwior looks nervy and Jesus isn't offering any sort of out ball
We're playing too directly. Need to keep the ball a bit.
Qwiss I think that's why City seems to be targeting our left. Kiwior is less effective in starting an attack, which means whenever we regain possession, we're ceding almost straightaway.
Qwiss Kiwior looks nervy and Jesus isn't offering any sort of out ball
City are happy to let him have the ball
Ake looks possibly done for.
Rice looks knackered. Looks like he just played a 90m midweek champions league match
Clrnc bloody Southgate
Clrnc thought it was just me. he's very low intensity so far, jogging at times
They are trampling over us
Ake getting subbed. Lewis coming on..
playing jesus seems like too risky a move tbh. I know trossard hasn't been great but jesus always comes back from injury looking all over the shop
Gazza M think Jesus would be fine if we were offering more outlets further forward. At the moment, he's having to dribble out by himself.
Don't like this injury. Rico Lewis will step into midfield better than Ake
Been pinned back a lot and not looking to have much of our own threat. Not sure if it's a tactic to just try to keep things level/just don't concede.
Left side killing us
Not sure why people are focusing on Jesus, only one who has shown the least bit of composure and had the only chance of the game.
Silva vs Kiwior looks like it will be a defining battle.
