Definitely needs refs to up there game, we will end up playing Athletico tactics every game if they don't. They need to realise that the game should be an entertainment! Moaning, lying on the floor and faking cramp isn't

Erling was obviously told to calm down at half time. Not sure that was the right thing to do. He hardly had a kick after that

Arsenal are good due to their wingers. Saka and Martinelli are brilliant it's like when we had Leroy and Sterling. They terrify defenders we don't have that on the wings.

We’re a better team without Haaland, I’d take 200 million for him and play Alvarez in a heartbeat

Something is off this season. we have the striker we wanted, he is scoring a lot but its like rest of the team regressed. also our attacks are very Haaland heavy, almost everything has to find him, we were a bit more creative when we did not have a striker attacking wise.

to drop points in these easy home games is gonna cost a lot.

Absolutely. We have a world class striker that we pursued and secured and we dont play to his strengths. Unless KDB plays one of those eye of the needle passes through to him or bends it round and behind a defence for him, we dont like servicing him

This isnt having a go at Mahrez and Grealish they are good players but against bus parking teams these two slow the game down and play the easy ball too often , the aggression and effort of Foden and Alvarez will upset these types of teams and their tactics. Our front three should be Alvarez,Haaland,Foden chasing the f*ck out of opposition defenders , Mahrez and Grealish playing together isnt working.

Outside a handful of games this season we’ve been mediocre as hell.

Very few people will want to hear that but its so true. Haaland and his goal scoring has glossed over the fact that the football we are playing is nowhere near the level it has been previously.

Front three should be

Alvarez Haaland Foden.

Everyone knows this.

Plus Walker and Cancelo at the back.

To be fair, there may be good reasons why that wasn’t possible today.

Could have been a lot worse.

Everton got the draw with an absolute worldy which no keeper would stop.

I'm going for a drink :)

See how much space he had to shoot though? Even after slipping!?

Unforgivable even at Sunday League level.

 

[Groke]

I can only remember them having one shot and that was the goal.

I'd like to see us going back to the 4-3-3 that has stood us in good stead. Grealish and Foden either side of Haaland. KDB, Bernardo and Rodri in CM and go back to traditional FBs instead of inverted.

Yep - it leaves us vulnerable on our right. Wish we'd fucked it off after Newcastle
