Saliba a bit too cocky there

Also the fact that we aren’t rinsing 50 year old Ashley Young with every attack is embarrassing. Shows that we have no plans to fix that side

daredevil — right there with you except for Zinchenko vs Timber. It’s close when Timber plays on the left, but definitely not the case when he plays RB.

I still think people underestimate how much Xhaka did for the team and Martinelli.

Our ability to create chances from open play has nosedived over the past two seasons and it all starts from the players at the back setting the pace and passing through the lines. No matter what combinations we play, we haven't been as good as in 22/23 at moving the ball.

    Finishing/final ball is the problem, not much else. We should have had a healthy lead at the break.

    This is just so shit. Absolutely no quality bar Saka.

    If we concede, we're done. Wouldn't put it past us, so sloppy and poor all round.

    daredevil I reject this idea that creating chances is an emergent property of a system more than the result of individual action. We've had plenty of chances to create chances, but the ball is poor or the shot is tame.

    Saka is beating two players time and time again, but then a third defender comes and helps out. Can some of our others players do something ffs?

    Kai not offering much today. Other than Saka hard to see a goal coming.

    Kai in full donkey mode. C'mon man, get it together. Show some quality.

    Morino is pretty fucking poor on the ball

    Bright side is hard to imagine Jesus/Sterling/Trossard doing worse

      Take off Ode, Kai and Rice. Bring on Nwaneri, Trossard and Jorginho

        FEBravo — Jesus is at best offering 50/50 chance of doing nothing.

        Ethan coming on. EithervMerino or Ode
