!Hazard!

He would have played a lot of games this season if he didn't have that problem with his back

Fuck off that was so close What a turn from RLC tho

This game has been a pleasant surprise from Sarri. From lineups to in-game management

If you would only watch this game you'd think Guardiola is the idealistic and tactically inflexible one

City playing quite poor right now, their press isn't very good but they still are positioned high up the pitch so it's easy for us to go forward

I think you have issues CHO!

Beautiful football. Fuckin pedro just shoot!

Goddamn Willian so careless with that pass to Jorgy

Hazard just walked past Kompany lol. They are vulnerable! Release CHO soon

If we start discussion over punchable faces then surely we have to mention Ederson

I think his ass was on the wrong side of that yellow line

It's the third full game he's playing this week

Kompany on the pitch! Great news for us as he isn't the same player he was six years ago. That Otamendi-Kompany pairing is very vulnerable

They just showed on Dutch TV the counter attacking opportunity we had around the 13th minute. Four guys were going forward at full speed but for some reason Barkley decided to play a poor horizontal pass to Kante who hold onto the ball for too long until he lost it. Need to quicker and sharper with the ball, especially those two

Luckily (in this case) we all know that he's coming on the pitch around the 60th minute

Everything going to plan after first half. That City defense is so vulnerable even one mediocre counter attack can paralyze them. Especially Otamendi is a walking disaster for them

Well that's why Hazard is on the pitch, amazing stuff from him, shame it didn't end up in a goal Doesn't change the fact that his defending and pressing is horrible tho

Barkley and Kante have been terrible on the ball

Very good indeed. He seems to thrive when the team remains compact and his teammates offer passing angles at close distance

This might sound controversial but we would play much better as a team if we had player like Mane instead of Hazard playing that LW role

And he's such a liability defensively Sarri has to play this formation. I wouldn't mind Sarri taking Hazard off for Higuain in the second half

I thought this pragmatic approach was exactly what people were wishing for after we got trashed 6-0

That's exactly how you have to play against City, invite the pressure and then quickly go past their press

Lol the weirdest start ever

We're much more likely to win the game with this lineup than with the one we played in the previous game
