Magic Lamps

Look it up. Alonso has had a few games himself where he also scored/assisted while being at fault for a goal conceded.

They are more inverted wingers I would say given how far they track back and how wide they stay off the ball in transition. Werner never really was a wide player more of a second striker. But he lacks the low Centre of gravity and tight ball control/dribbling of the Liverpool duo. That is why he will never have their impact in PL i would love to have wingers with just this little bit of extra physicality and improvisation technique. All our wingers lack this and it makes them so much less decisive

Having salad and mane as wingers must be a dream. We could have had them both so easily

His interplay with Lukaku today was promising. They looked for each other constantly. Lukaku made some nice layoffs for him. Their job was easier given that Southampton almost got 0 protection for their back four. if werner+lukaku were a bit more technically accomplished they could have had a hattrick each today. that is always the danger of having two strikers with similar technical weaknesses. Other than that i think he has been improving every game and slowly regaining his confidence.

Even after the 9th time of watching I am not sure how he managed to get it into the post from 3m and central position. That was a miss worse than Timo’s vs Leeds

it was a pinpoint pass but it is just down to a) him being shit and usually not trusted with these actions b) players nowadays being genereally shit at long range passing compared to the late 00/early 2010s that this is of note. Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack or Fabregas would play these passes blinfolded with their weak foot and no one one would lose a word over it.

He is not that pacy tho. Pulisic and Werner are clearly a lot quicker. Don’t see much of a difference whether he plays LW or RWB tbf

Still an eternity away

I wasn’t aware before the season how accomplished he already is. Given we bid 80m for hakimi and now have to play Azpi at rwb it clearly shows we should have made more of an effort to keep him. His pace, close control and timing are insane

I like his slim but strong agile athleticism . Like a bballer

Just saw that it’s crazy given he has scored 15 goals for us. He looks comical at times and can’t time his shots to save his life but his attitude is just gold.

Really? I think he is just kovacic but huge

Big win of character vs 15 men

Take this you suckers

Mount and Barkley came straight out of hell

Omfg this is so shit

Our finishing is the worst

Game over

Fkin Barkley coming on

what has bringing on jorginho ever helped we all know how this shit is gonna end fkin bottlers

The team clearly let that disallowed goal get into their head

Fucking pgmol pieces of shit

Ofc it always does that is why they pick the moments to swing a match perfectly

Has there ever been a goalie worse at saving pens than Mendy ffs

Already feels like this is gonna end in frustration the refs have well and truly taken control of Pl and swung this game
