To be fair to Cancelo because he's a right footer playing on the left there was never a decent opportunity for him to make a tackle when the bloke ran across him from the right. He didn't have to shape up like a gimp though.I wasn't really thinking of his pass, more the defending after it, not a single defender did anything of note, I sat there thinking "do something, anyone", they didn't, wasn't particularly impressed by Edersons effort either.
The Porto player simply took the opportunity given him, defending like that belongs to Sunday parks, all of the players, not singling any out, all of them, and a couple of midfielders who were trotting back.
Shit.
Peps system requires speed and mobility and Chubby Brown probably has more of both.Tbh I thought he would be great, but you have to take into account who he is playing for I suppose.
Hargreaves did a fair summary of him tonight, which wasn't flattering.
There is a thing called communication, if he could see it all develop then he could try and get someone to do something, anyone, nobody did a thing.Yeah but the player left Dias' area & moved into Garcias, who positioned himself to hide out of the way behind Rodri, who was fucking shite, then Cancelo, who was fucking unforgiveably shite & finally just watched as the bloke scored.
If he'd gone toward Dias it would have been his problem but he headed for the team turds instead.
I think we've got a good defence now. We're just struggling to get them on the pitch at the right time at the momentThis team needs a lot of work on the defence. We cant keep forking out on defenders and seeing the same old mistakes.
Worst part of his game is that he is too easy to play around.I’m not a fan either. He’s not particularly good at anything. His passing never breaks the lines, he’s often caught wrong side, he’s slow on the ball and without it...
The worst part is the idea we need to get new players around him. It’s like the Rags with ‘Release Pogba’. Rodri shouldn’t be a player we need to find the right balance with, he should be doing it for other players who are much better than him.
I think he could make it here as a converted CB but unless there’s dramatic improvement he’s a big problem in our midfield in 90% of our games.
Gimp just about sums up the whole lot them for that goal, it's not unusual for us to concede shit goals, but that one surpassed most by some distance starting with the awful pass out, and the then lack of effort to actually defend.He didn't have to shape up like a gimp though.
Laporte and Ake injured that’s why we had the same mistakes.judge the defence after Laporte and Dias have a run of games. Look how disjointed we our currently in attack. Settled 7-8 players needed each game to see us back to our best.This team needs a lot of work on the defence. We cant keep forking out on defenders and seeing the same old mistakes.
Partey for 45M was a no brainer for me. Mute point though as he's an Arsenal Player. Zakaria would be worth a Punt for a decent price too. 40M or so would probably get him in January.Paul Pogba ?

From a team perspective it was a dreadful goal to concede, but at that point there didn't appear to be a "team" ethic, just a bunch of footballers doing their own bad things, it was Sunday league standard much of that first half, from the "team".
My mate texted me at HT and said it was our worst performance in a few years, it was hard to argue, and given we've already lost 2-5 at home this season, that's quite a statement, we were very lucky it was still 1-1 thanks to KW.
