banduan People forget we expect our keeper to play further up the pitch due to our high pressing
If I’m being honest I don’t think Raya is to be blamed there. Zubimendi - maybe has a little more of the blame. But frankly it was an incredible finish - repeat that pattern a 100 times and you’ll be lucky if even 5 of them hit the target
Mirth Yeh, you can't guard against everything. 999 times out of 1000 don't result in a one-touch goal when you get dispossessed in the middle of the pitch. Great awareness from Richarlison, who must have been saving up to it for years considering how utterly clueless he usually is.
Credit to the lads for almost getting another off the restart mind.
banduan because he's miles out of goal and it's not the first time he's been caught out like that.
Qwiss where should he be?
Qwiss
Yeah, but if Zubi doesnt make that stupid mistake, where he is on the pitch doesnt really matter. He plays that high up as an outlet back
Qwiss it’s a risk v reward thing. Most of the time the higher starting position helps with the dominant risk of a through ball which Raya can sweep out to cover. He could stay closer on the line and not get embarrassed but it’ll give away more goals over the course of a season
They've done nothing new. We took our foot off the pedal
Merino has not scored yet but he's having a very good game IMO
We need subs, just to restart the mindset.
Bring Martinelli on for Leo to run that left side down
I hate Michael Oliver.
USArsenal midfielders lose the ball. It shouldn't lead to an easy shooting opportunity from there. Same with Mateta last season. It's a vulnerability we need to cut out.
Klaus you say that but Mateta did the same thing a few months ago.
Mirth it's gone too far the other way and teams look for it. 5 yards deeper and the passing doesn't change much for us but Raya saves that.
Just settle down and hold possession for 10 minutes. It'll take the momentum away from them.
This is when you need an Ode
Then you lose that easy ball back to Raya to recycle play, which is what he is being asked to do. So you can't really but that out too much. We don't really expect Zubi to lose the ball that way.
Eh, lets hope its all academic.

Put it this way, if that was Bentley just hoofing it vs Almunia or whoever was in goal that game, I can understand. This one's on Zubi, no doubt in my mind.
That goal could drive all their dvd revenue for the next 10 years, like kulusevskis a while back
I just want a win
Get Madueke on for Tros
Tactics Or Martinelli, anyone with fresh legs. I don't get why we haven't made a single substitution when Spurs have three fresh players on the pitch. Intensity is gonna dip soon unless we make some changes.
The tied has turned a little, we need Odegaard on. And also some pace up top, Madueke or Martinelli
HomeSteak I’ll be very impressed if Odegaard sneaks on without being named on the bench
