Qwiss quadruple change is pathetic, honestly. Terrible leadership.
Eze, Merino, Benny and Gyokeres coming on. This is how you change things up. Timber to the left, Benny to the right. Gyokeres for Jesus, Merino for Ode, Eze for Zubimendi.
Interesting and exciting changes. Lets see what they can do.
Need vik to turn up here - I want to see the mask
Qwiss well yeah
Merino in midfield never works hope i'm proved wrong
like the other subs tho
Four subs - ride or die time for a number of players here.
Kel Varnsen The goal is not the fault of any individual player, but Zubi, Rice, Saliba and Gabriel all kind of hesitate, unsure of who should pick up Dorgu and Fernandes. Typical goal to concede when players are not 100% focused.
Basically the same happened on the first goal and the Saliba situation. Just sloppy, unfocused bullshit.
Between the arm raising for the ball and the “look, stop, pick an easy option” you get the sense the players are taking a test more so than playing a game
Saliba is our most proactive passer of the ball.
HomeSteak — has been for a few weeks
HomeSteak Saliba is our most proactive passer of the ball.
By design. He's the most free
Good thing we started saka and tross for the all important inter game midweek
Tactics — I think upfield he’s effective on the press, but he has no influence once it nears midfield.
Perhaps I shouldn’t call that phase a press, rather he has no ability in ball winning.
I'd have made incremental changes: first Trossard and Jesus off for Noni and Merino. And later other changes.
Too many changes at once especially at the heart of our team (Zubi and Ode off at the same time) could negatively impact how we play for some time
Tactics it's really bad management
We look toothless. I almost want to turn this off because I know where it's heading
45 mins since the last shot on target, we do not have a clue how to attack except to get it wide and hope , and set pieces.
Our last shot was in the 18th minute
Rice needs to hit target there
We have lost any sense of calmness.
