Bernie looking good

It’s a little rough but I think this organizes our defenders the best. Walker is not great going forward but his speed and strength are assets at right Cb in a back 3. None of our fullbacks are great defenders so we can advance them safely to do what they do best

A good defensive performance 1-0 win will do me.

We could do with scoring before they ride out the early mins then counter again

 

[Matt the Giant]

Just get in, great to see Kun on the pitch again.
But... where is Cancelo playing? Midfield?

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

he played on, he lost it then gets pulled back for a foul?

 

[ScottSinclair]

Bernardo showing for the ball all over the pitch

Our 2nd best player at his best

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Walker seems to be a hybrid CB/RB, with Cancelo being a hybrid WB/CM. A ton of positional rotation happening in this game, fascinating to watch

 

[kaz7]

First foul a card

 

[super_city_si]

Our press is shit

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Rodri booked already.

 

[I'm Blue]

Booking already.

 

[OntarioBlue]

We’re going to need to be patient. Arsenal are well organised, pressing high, then dropping back in numbers when required.

Ffs Rodders

I think he’s RM in a midfield 5 but he’s definitely staying narrow

Bernardo has been great it’s so good to see him playing on form again

 

[Blu1]

Mahrez is offering nothing. He’s not even tracking back

 

[Beanhead]

he played on, he lost it then gets pulled back for a foul?

I thought that.. what does he want 5 mins of play?

 

[SidJames]

I agree.

Lately we have gone to shit after playing well for the first 20-25 minutes.

 

[chesterbells]

Can Rodri do sliding tackles? Near the touch line a much better option than shirt grabbing.

 

[teddykgb]

A really dumb yellow for Rodri there

Standard reffing
