Magic Lamps

Lets hope they wear Tottenham out tho. Cant see tottenham going through without Kane

I think we have different priorities. Azpi is probably the most solid rb in the world defensively. That imo is most important for a defender. If we had a decent right winger no one would say he does not provide enough offensviely

I hope and would recommend them to throw CL and focus on Bundesliga

Azpi is still miles better than hakimi

I dont like him either. He is very inconsistent at times esp big difference ibter ationally and in Bundesliga in his style. But i guess no one likes the refs from its country. Also he is Bavarian and has a clear Bayern bias. Today he was ok tho.

I guess you mean hakimi. That was amateur defending from him here tho. Would n3ver happen to azpi

The bridge is 100 years older too and is second to none on historical and architectural level. fans dont really have an impacton the game in any stadium.anyway.

Never know how pizarro never made it here. The ultimate poacher and utility striker. What a strikers finish

And even after 105mins he just lunged to rescue a loose ball from going out of play, for a club he does not evem belong to..great attitude, hard worker. Equalizer through pizarro tho

Impressive speed after 105 mins too

Great goal..made and scored himself

yup. did not even notice he was playing unti lthe commentator mentioned his move to us explicitly. Has been completely under the radar. Even Götze has been better so far.

Makes sense. He is not that shit actually, should be good enough tonplay vs Malmö. Just does not fit Sarris system..but maybe he can be a stand in in the Jorginho role. At least he can defend

The difference is that Real paid 60m for Vinicius and thus have to play him^^

No we concede midfield and try to beat them on the counter. we have no chance to win the midfield battle anyway. Jorginho is not really a proper midfielder either cos he is useless without the ball.

Exactly. Posession game vs City is a bad idea. And in general overrated.

One can dream. Give Conte the squad we have now and we would still be in the title race

He should not even play imo. Has absolutely no value in such a game and just will be a passenger. We need someone in the defensive mid position who can actually defend. I would actually play like this -----Rüdiger--Luiz--Christensen--- Azpi-----Kovacic---Kante----Emerson ----Pedro-----Higuain------Hazard----- which is obviously never gonna happen but we need to load the channels with players on both ends to stand any chance against them. Also set pieces. They have conceded 50% of all their goals from set pieces. So get the cavalry up for every corner and please do not let Willian take them.

yup. tap ins galore, they attack the flanks in numbers, one of their quick players will be found by one of their great passers in the channel, ball across to agüero to tap in empty net. fairly obvious but hard to defend. We need to track back like hell vs them, better even shift back to back 3 ( lol obviously not gonna happen). arsneal , apart from the goals actually played it well in the firs thalf attacking and defending in numbers, But pep with his idea to have fernandinho in defence when not in poession and having him walk into midfield when in posession sussed that and eased their transition. I wish Jorginho was capable of that flexiblity too. Gündogan the little cheat, deserved yellow.

I think the shot would have been even more impressive because the deflection took out some of its power and Lössl was late to see it anyway. But yeah that is what we need, shots from outside the box have been missing this season and will make us less predictable.

Pefect fit for a side like Palace. Traditional CFs like Benteke have thrived there before so a classic poacher like Bats might very well succeed there.

Erm wut? If anything he will be more expensive on deadline day

I don't get why peeps leave it so late. EVeryone knew Michy would be looking for a new employer for months and Crystal Palace have monitored him since 2016 and still wait till the last hour of the window to make a deal. Surely they must like the drama.

well obviously many thought just tossing out Willian and Alonso from the starting XI and playing a proper striker would magically solving all our problems. TBF i thought it would to some extent. But actually, nothing can change a shit manager and a shit formation. Time to get rid. of both.

Nothing to do with Emerson. Sarri is just a shit coach. Cant make a team attack nor defend.
