I think he/she is doing great considering it is on one post and the person is zoomed in. Usually they zoom way out.

 

Total opposite for me. They're very enthusiastic with their zooming, to the point it makes it difficult to see the off ball movement.

Brighton free kick just outside our box for example. They zoomed in so much you couldn't see the players inside the box.

Werner is so good at linkup plays. Very surprised to see.

Ruben just feels pointless

Everything Ziyech does looks so crisp. That left foot looks like it should be illegal.

Werner looks so sharp as well. So much pace and very intelligent in his movement.

Promising signs so far with the both...

Werner is like all over the pitch

Alonso liked the post how he is better than Chilwell a couple of months ago. He is ready to fight for the place.

Stated it before, with who we currently have I am not a fan of the 4231.

Just a game of possession against the opposition. No directness.

Pulisic for CHO and Havertz for RLC and it would be completely different.

Maybe. But for me, Kovacic+Kante is the problem.

The defence from left to right are ridiculously safe with their passes. Once kova pulls back and picks the ball up we get vertical passing.

Ziyech is not only skilled but he's a workhorse as well. Dutch pundits kept mentioning it when he was playing at Ajax and it shows right now.

It's the lack of channels that are created in a 4231 compared to a 433. So many times the midfield recycled back to the defence instead of transitioning the ball. 

Lost track the amount of times Werner had to check down to midfield to help with transition. This shouldn't be an issue against bloody Brighton...

Was just gonna say Ziyech and Werner are a cut above the rest when it comes to pressing

I have a feeling Ruben just never will get to the form we want him to be

Ziyech's pressing is as good as you are ever gonna get from an attacking player. One of his strengths no doubt
