Anyone know why walker is playing cm

Ask Pep

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

If he wants his full back doing this then play fuckin Phillips at right back

Phillips is made of glass you won't be seeing much of him

 

[ScottSinclair]

Pains me how much of the ball Walker is having

Has been my number one pet peeve with Peps tactics all these years. He sees way to much of the ball, but the problem is that the other teams let him have it

 

[Bluemoonadam]

Alvarez for haaland 2nd half I think

 

[Blu1]

Foden is so off his best :-(

 

[Cambo]

I miss Gabriel Jesus, just for his work rate.

Said this. He was a beast. Some lazy passengers in this team.

This BS that Haaland is disrupting the team is also a myth. Play your full backs in their correct positions. The set up by Pep is madness. We’re effectively playing quick counter attacking teams with 2 defenders.

I’d like to see Alvarez out there

Haaland isn’t technically good enough or good enough in the air against these packed defences.

Missing Gundo here.

All too predictable, another team happy to watch us aimlessly pass it about. Ready to hit us on the counter. Bit worried by the lack of any kind of urgency, or character to try and get back in it.

 

[FantasyIreland]

They have got us well sussed.
