Bailey 4,978 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I didnt want that half to end. Some of the football we were playing was so good. This system is definitely working out really well with us on the ball. There are a few questions marks defensively but we could play 10 at the back and it would be the same!

Zoo 2.0 982 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Worries me how we have the tendency to leak a silly goal, concede one and it's squeaky bum time. We do look really good going forward though, hopefully we can add one or two more and really wrap this up well. Iwobi MOTM so far, Digne fantastic from the left too - the only question marks for me from that half are Mina and Pickford. Matt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Btay 2,032 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Iwobi. Best half I’ve seen from him. I hope he sits down at half time and acknowledges it within himself that this is how he should play. Positive, forward football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hafnia 6,628 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 James could find a free man with 60 players on the pitch. Ridiculous football brain. He must see things in slow motion Iwobi deserves so much credit, he has played as good as we've seen him play bad. Well done lad. Could it be we've found a wing back?

Mina was at fault, don't get me wrong but Jordan was poor. Didn't close the angle and didn't really make it difficult for the lad to score. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hafnia 6,628 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I don't like players swinging at a crossed ball with the foot from the side of the pitch it's coming.

Zoo 2.0 982 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 James is half arsed into literally every challenge and 50/50. That move was down to him bottling the tackle (and then Allan giving the next ball away). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bailey 4,978 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Richarlison has been so good in this game at making challenges and breaking up play. Its massively underrated (or at least was before his ban). I dont think many attacking players realise how little things like that make a big difference to how the defenders do their job.
