Oz adverts at half time on my stream - weird world down there

No physical presence at all in midfield. Its going to be a long tough season

card that ****

Card happy ref seems to have forgotten his cards today.

New PiGMOL directive?

Poor, really poor.

If Peps “solution” to losing Rodri is to play Bernie and Grealish wide together to make us more solid, we’ve got no fucking chance. It’s like having 4 full backs on the pitch and only Gvardiol can defend. Grealish hasn’t scored this year and Bernie for more than 20 games…how the fuck does that end up making up 2/3rds of your front 3? Crazy.

On top of this, we’ve got the slowest midfield imaginable. Gundo looks like he’s towing a caravan. There is literally zero creativity across the middle and out wide. We are at home and have set up like an away side. Painful.

Rico and Gundo need to come off. Walker at RB. Bernie in the middle. Savio out wide to give us some kind of threat.

Good match so far. Whoever coaches our FK and corners must be a Liverpool/Arsenal fan. They are far more dangerous for us than the opposition (even if our goal came from a rebound).

Start of the season when asked about Lewis v walker pep said there are things one can do that the other can't for example walker is great against fast wingers. We play a team with the fastest winger In the league and he plays Lewis.

Fair result on the balance of the half. We don’t half spurn chances. Three decent ones in the opening minutes alone.

We don’t half give chances as well….

 

[eastmanc]

Rico having an absolute mare.

Gundo shouldn’t be playing pushed up, we can’t get Phil in the game as there are too many bodies. We need someone deep alongside Kova and then let Gvardiol get forward to assist Jack.

I’d take Gundo off and move Bernie alongside Kova, bring Savio on on the right wing.

He's getting bullied by Taore. It's a physical mismatch. Bring either Stones on and swap Akanji or to right back or swap Rico with Walker.

 

[Baconsane]

Fair play, Fulham haven’t come to park the bus, like most do, but we need to be quicker at the back. They look dangerous every time they break. Fast out the blocks second half, need some pace down the wings. Doku on for Grealish, but doubt that’ll happen until 80 mins.

 

[eyalluvitt]

We need a bigger or faster body beside kovacic.
This just isn't the game for Lewis.

O’really?
