Let Sterling become Arsenals problem I say.Imagine if he's as shit for England this summer as he has been for us this season, he'll come back after the Euro's with zero confidence and we'll have a hell of a job getting him right again.
We need a way of unpicking 523s.
The middle is clogged, so you have to go wide. If their wide defenders have better games, you struggle. Chelsea under Tuchel. Lyon last year. Several other games which we've managed to win after a struggle.
Chelsea were solid as they played 5 at the back and 2 DM. We played 4 at the back with 6 forward thinking players. And from the look if it, 2 of that 4 were told to push up. So that would leave is looking a bit exposed at the back.he had his two defensive wobbles early on and that is when the alarm bells started ringing! They weren’t heeded and the game should’ve been over by half-time.
our defence is still not right and if it is exposed, like when you have no protection in front, it collapses like a house of cards.
Stones and Walker have their wobbles. Diaz is not quick and gets exposed by the high line. Zinny is an honest player, but not a LB. How much have we spent on that defence!?
And abel.Kane
No offence Marvin, as you're generally an OK poster if not massively pessimistic, but tonight you've said you've had enough of Pep and that he needs to go as if not winning the Champions League is the be all and end all.Pep might be a genius of a coach but he's a flawed genius
Yes, have to agree, deliberate fould rather than accidental, and while he probably didn't intend to injure him you can say the same about a high kick. Red for me all night long, but we didn't seem to get many decisions go our way.Martinez saying 100% red for rudiger challenge. Just saw replay and how on earth did VAR not get involved there. Dirty challenge. .
Right. Their wide defenders pinned Sterling and Mahrez in and gave them no room to either cut inside nor burst down the line. Their backs were to goal the whole game. They were hold-up players with no room nor options. And the middle doesn't need to be clogged when you have Kante. The three CBs sit in deep and Kante does the dirty work in front of them. Those wide defenders have off days and Kante has to come out to help and that middle opens up. Credit to James especially -- he locked us down all night.We need a way of unpicking 523s.
