Magic Lamps

Alonso has managed to be even worse than sarr

Ziyech could have had 2 pens today if he had just gone down after contact

RLC with another turnover

Don’t understand the RLC sub at all completely surrendered midfield control

Lukaku and RLC should found the 0 intensity or precision club

Was clearly offside tbf lukaku should learn the rule

Looked offside

Kai has been good tho Even in the wrong position

Yeah I don’t Understand it either Havertz is better in the middle and pukisic better on the left

How’s that a fk not a pen

Poor game by us might profit from bringing vale/kenedy and kovacic on

It was a foul goal would not have stood

True but so is Alonso. He is just clean on the ball when he has ages to make a touch still sarr is clearly way over his head at lwb he is already a tough watch at lb would rather see Harvey vale or Kennedy there

You can basically set your clock to pukisic being taken down and no yellow

If Ziyech was fast he would be a world beater but sadly he is slow af

That was handball in the box

I think Werner is gone in summer and we already are planning without him

It depends. When to opponent ja fast and presses like hell Alonso is worse than useless sarr at least can run all day at pace

Sarr is basically Alonso in fast which makes him better than Alonso but still terrible

Kante simply has to score there

We look shaky but that pukisic chance was difficult

Don’t like the 3 lefties attack but we will see should be good enough for palace

Don't see the 4-2-2-2 as a long term solution. leaves the wings too vulnerable. I think it was more a one-off to surprise spurs and dominate their dogged midfield. Obviously it depends how wide the no.10s go in the transition but IMO it helps when there are designated wingers. Also I think if you have a good no.10, one is enough. 4-2-3-1 might be a good shout vs Palace. It's actually my favourite system to play in games where you are not the underdog bc of the security it gives in the middle and the versatility of options in the channels. We are just missing actual wingers for it to be maximally effective. Pulisic and CHO are our only actual wingers. Mount and Ziyech are too slow and Werner is not technical enough.

Can only see Havertz Rom working with someone who does a lot of off-the ball running like Pulisic and maybe Mount. Definitely not with Ziyech. Also would help tons if we had someone to provide width. Maybe try Kenedy as LWB. Wont be a better game for him to make a cameo than Palace.

Can’t believe Spain have 4! Teams in Europa league. Can see them getting more points than epl this season by their sheer numbers of irons in the fire. Westspam and spuds really made a mess out of their campaigns. Surely it will be a Spanish team again to win EL
