Lampard took the game back with those subs. First time i ever saw what Lamps sees in Barkley. Has transformed the match with Kovacic and been decisive so far.
Söyüncü is one of the best defenders i have seen in recent times to deal with a pace disadvantage. going for the ball early before the attacker starts moving.
If a player can only playing regista he is very limited. Most teams dont even have a player like that in this position. He really is young enough to learn to be a bit more flexible there or he ends like Jorginho lol
Lineup is a bit strange. I would have loved to see a Kova-Jorgo-Gilmour midfield so much technical and passing ability would have given us control of the midfield with ease. Not including Jorginho looks odd too but I cant see us letting him go just for Sandro who is 29. Maybe he still has fitness issues.
Leicester basically fielding their first 11. clear favourites for this one.
Would be absolutely ridiculous if Real win the title after all the shit they pulled the back this season. Spanish league is an absolute shadow, Real Madrid and Barca would not make top 4 in epl in current form
One of our most stupid ever decisions giving him that contract. Emerson at least is just 25. But I could still see Barca or an Italian club being dumb enough to take him off us.
I don’t really understand tho why we needlessly hand out contracts this big for players who are so out of their depth here that they would most probably sign for less.
I also rewatched it and could not really see Walker being intimidated or in any way influenced by Pulisic’s pace. Only once scene were Pulisic skips ahead of Walker but passes the ball before it comes down to a sprint Duell. It may be possible that some members have a slight bias towards their compatriot which is understandable as the guy is probably the most talented US player in history.
