I don’t think people watch him unless the ball gets to him. He made amazing runs that split the defense. Unfortunately we always went to the left side. If we played some in the middle he might have got a few passes. Even when the ball was on his side mahrez instead of releasing him would cut inside. Not much you can do if you don’t get service.

He is a wide player converted into a 9 which never seems to work

Ake has literally cost us a goal a game since he signed. This is fucking disastrous and how Pep thinks it's okay to play him next to Mendy is beyond me. I mean we employ statisticians and sports scientists that can tell him how many games we lost or conceded goals in when the pair played together.
A bizarre game. Levy clearly asked for 3 points as part of the sale.

It's frustrating, I just think it'll take a few weeks.
A few more games, after the international break, we'll have a fit KDB, Foden, Stones, Walker, Zin, Laporte, etc. Grealish will have more than a week in the system to get his feet wet. Kane will (hopefully) be here. It's just going to take some time.
I do agree it's worrying that Spurs and Chelsea (at least under Tuechel) have figured us out. I fucking hate Spurs.
They are f##king paid enough for it.
well I did have a small wager at 5-1, didnt want to win it though.

True. But even last season he had some brilliant performances. Liverpool away springs to mind. Spurs at home too.
Thought the guy marking him should have been booked. Was given a warning then next time ref calls the captain over, what was all that about.

Exactly, their job basically entails playing out with their mates every day then retiring at 35 a multi millionaire, is it too much to ask to keep fit, plenty of time for holidays after

Fool or not I still don't think Kane is the answer. Happily I'm not paid to make those decisions ...I think he's too slow ( should fit in perfectly!).

Can we leave Mendy in London?
is that you crying? or me, I thought we’d lose anyway Mendy and Ake are shit. Stones and Walker were missed. Thought it would be more than 1 nil mind. Just know it’s 1 game no need to panic
I said pre match that defence worried me and so it proved. No way was it keeping a clean sheet. Ake and Mendy just not good enough for us and Cancelo isn't great either.
First 20 minutes, like always, we totally dominated. Then like always we miss three decent chances. After that the opposition gain confidence and grow into the game. Once they score that's it.
Three positions we have needed to fill now for at least two seasons and haven't. Left back, DM and striker. Poor old Fern is having to soldier on at ,36 because Rodri just isn't good enough. Not mobile enough, too slow and prone to mistakes that costs us goals.
Left back we just keep on.putting players there which isn't their position. We need a real one.
Striker, well today tells you everything. We are powder puff up front. Mahrez, Grealish, Sterling, Torres, they are basically wingers and it shows.
Why couldn't some of the English lads play? They're pretty fit to start with, have had a week back and other teams played theirs to great effect. I doubt they could have done any worse than those who did play.
We need one or two proper strikers or we're going to struggle this season. Rags and Chelsea are stronger and Liverpool have their injured players back. Our forwards miss too many chances and people can quote how many we score all they like, I bet we miss more.

There’s some absolute shite posted on here after one game. Flapper central
