Rice isn't good enough at striking the ball to score that and he should know it.
Burnwinter pretty close on his wrong foot to be honest. Think that was worth taking on given a lot of our players can be a bit shot averse and he did well.
We've been excellent at maximising are return from set pieces but the limitation is on those days when that doesn't quite work it leaves you exposed to the lack of open play threat where I feel we struggle much more.
That's Rices second good chance. Good to see, we need him to up his attacking game for the second half of the season
Don Pacifico Disagree, if anything it's the second he's wasted. He doesn't tend to go close with those efforts.
Playing like shit. Lose here and it's over. Fine margins.
TambourineMan why is every game hyped up as a final?
Havertz has also had a noticeable dip in the last few matches I feel. The physical attributes of his game seeming to be less effective and his limitations more apparent during this run.
Is Partey getting booed for the rape stuff or has he done something in this game?
We could do with Timber at RB today. Kiwior LB, Partey CB?
Pepe LeFrits Rice at CB, Merino left 8. What was the point in signing him?
Parteys been bad so far. We've been toothless. Kai anonymous
naz Parteys been bad so far.
Looks like he's being influenced by the booing. Very scared game he's playing
We're spamming long balls to Saka for some reason. Calm down and get the ball on the ground and break their hard press.
Claudius probably because we’ve had a chequered start to the season and that to hit a title-winning points total now means way less margin for error…
Claudius because it is when you're 7 points behind the leaders. It wouldn't be if things were closer or we were the ones with a 7 point lead.
If the title is not the goal, then it's not a cup final.
Havertz isn't getting into the game enough.
Qwiss Havertz isn't getting into the game enough.
It's one of those matches where having a centre forward who's a sort of elusive awkward mystery man is frustrating. He's not a target and he doesn't take it on himself, so he doesn't give our attack structure so much as rely on others to produce it.
Being beaten by our cast offs will be quite sometbing
odegaard has actually had plenty of pockets of space to work in. not sure what he's doing today
Gazza M odegaard has actually had plenty of pockets of space to work in. not sure what he's doing today
He's being swarmed as soon as he gets the ball tbh.
Burnwinter you're talking about him as if he didn't score that goal last season versus Chelsea. He can hit a football.
I'd have to watch it back but don't recall there being any other options available without him having to wait for someone to make a run.
