What the actual fuck were they doing there?
Saliba was so slow , shouldn't be starting
This is on Arteta. What the fuck are we doing here? Five asshole midfielders surrounding their players without getting the ball.
Lol what now? This isn't a line up picked with going behind in mind.
Saliba should be covering their main striker, really poor coverage with Timber next to him
One thing it shouldn't be humanly possible to claim is that that Haaland goal was caused by the choice of a defensive starting XI and tactical outlook, but I'm expecting it anyway.
Burnwinter not the goal but I struggle to see how we’ll respond with this setup.
Burnwinter conceding the goal has nothing to do with the XI, but us faffing about for the next 60 mins trying to get back into this with zero cutting edge will have everything to do with the XI.
Burnwinter not defensive, not offensive. Just bad.
Oh well
Gabriel out of position. Saliba had to cover ball. Nothing to do with lineup.
that was a 2023 style goal to give up, complete with gabriel being in no man's land for some reason
Gazza M and Saliba making the wrong choice. That was poor from the two rocks
Midfield is suspect as fuck. So bad
Mirth What you're saying is that having Nwaneri on the pitch instead of Merino would decisively improve our chances from here. Debatable at best. We've just won a corner, do you want Merino or Nwaneri on the pitch?
game is far too high tempo which favours Citeh
Now all they need to do is stroke the ball around for the remaining 85 minutes, and they're the best at that.
Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert They wont be able to do that. They are good, but they aren't THAT good to be able to pass the ball around the rest of the game with no pressure from us.
Thought we started off well. But that was really poor goal to concede and a ruthless counter.
Panda we started as per usual, controlling the shape well. the goal was so out of character for our defense
Qwiss Overloading with players in areas that don't matter. The best top football today is played in quick phases but I guess Arteta didn't get the memo. Pep is laughing like an evil sith on the bench - he even has a scab on his face and everything. This is too easy for him.
We started with some control and now lost it. Very nervous in midfield, crowded as fuck. Forwards are non existent so far.
Arteta should make a tactical change here, it's obvious
Why do three men go for Haaland in the lead-up to the goal? Feels oddly disorganised.
Don Pacifico Gabriel shouldn't have followed him into the midfield.
