I'm sorry but the negatives of him playing versus a team with 11 behind the ball FAR outweigh the positives of him defending an odd counter attack. He's a complete blackhole on the right.

probably better to play Rico if hes going to be that high up the pitch

Gonna need Kev on to seal the points here.

I’m betting his first game is Huddersfield

He is not a lb , it is not showing his skills there, dont know why pep hasnt kept nathan there

Boring every game someone says this. Bloody obvious why. Ake is not a lb he’s a cb and better for newbie to make errors whilst getting used to system out wide. Also ake is playing well at cb so suggestion to put him at lb is bonkers.

Need to get another goal quick after HT. 1-0 never a good score.

Jack given the ball away more in one half than he has all season. Head clearly elsewhere, feel for him.

This!

Passing needs to be better 2nd half, sort that and we're laughing.

 

[Bluewars]

They must have stolen Grealish's 'How to dribble for Dummies' book, joking, calm down.

On another note all this possession means nothing it we dont create clear cut scoring chances, Pep has to find a soloution, games like this means the opposition however shite are still in the game.

PS: Walker is ass.

Some people on this thread are fucking depressing, aren't they? Glass half empty supporters...even when we're winning.

We've thrown away leads quite frequently this season, even at home. 1-0 while not creating anything and the opposition getting more than a few decent chances and set pieces doesn't exactly instill confidence.

Very workman like team this season. Some very good moments but mostly we are a team going through the motions.

Kev & Haaland together will hopefully help. Doku aswell is a big miss.

Couldn't go to the game today, but watching it on TV. Thought we did ok,could've done with at least another goal, but with them having 10 behind the ball most of the time doesn't help. Roll on the 2nd half.
