Clearly needs kev. Only kev plays the early ball. Everyone else recycles possession and its pointless having him.
This lump would score goals playing with anyone, he's back up to speed and firing, god help the opposition.Clearly needs kev. Only kev plays the early ball. Everyone else recycles possession and its pointless having him.
He’d score 2/3 a game if teams set up like Luton did last night against us. Doubt we’ll see that kind of space for him again this season. Apart from maybe last 10 minutes if a team is 1 behind against us.I’m very much enjoying seeing us bypassing the midfield and getting it into him early. We had become far too predictable with the slow, precise build up but against Bournemouth and tonight, we have seen what can happen if we hit him early. More please.

Finishing was a bit ropey, a couple sneaked in, and he missed a couple of big chances.
Hopefully he kicks on…

So as most know, its all about the service Erl gets but it`s also our slow buildup that press the opposition back into there own box.

Tbh that’s just a man to man high press counter tactic. If we do that against 10 behind the ball, firstly Haaland doesn’t win the initial ball as he has 2 or 3 defenders on him. Then even if he did win it, we don’t win the 2nd ball due to the numbers the opponent has deep. It’s always nice when we get to see it but it’s not something we can do whenever we want. Our opponents effectively decide how we play, not Pep. We could potentially see it v Brighton as they are capable of going man to man against us, but nobody else will.
I think its also to do with Pep but who culd argue with the results
