Magic Lamps

Our ball retention was class throughout. They could not get sniff when Rüdiger marshalled Rondon like a boss for every long ball they hit out

It's his movement. In crunch time when we need a goal he moves like a forward that is whz he alwazs finds himself in these positions.

We had more than 81% posession. I think in that aspect that was the most one-sided game ever. I think I have never seen such an amazing posession stat not even for Barcelona or Spain

I think the speed in this one was quite fine. We played really franctic in the first half carving them open various times. sure we could be even quicker but i think the speed was not the problem but that it was too hectic and players overcomplicated things in the end instead of putting their feet through the ball esp hazard and pedro from close range.

Let's not engage in whataboutism here... Luiz was shit and committed a crucial mistake as did Kepa. Both were in the same situation but still we should mend them individually

I correct myself its 4 assists 1 goal. pen vs huddersfield, goal and assist vs arsenal, penalty today and forcing the own goal today

How can anyone dare to call this NOT a penalty? He whacks alonso of his feet after clamping to his arm and body´for seconds and by doing so also plays a bit of the ball. That is clear cut penalty no two ways about it.

as said in the match chat, what an amazign start to the season 1 goal 3 assists, 2 of those were match winning contributions. Still for like 60m I would sell him but I don't believe REal will sign him for that much when they have Marcelo

yup that looked suspicious again. I hope he settles his nerves at some point...but when you look at how Alisson handled himself yesterday you start thinking what this price tag does to a head

Alonso what an amazign start to the season 1 goal 3 assists, 2 of those were match winning contributions.

What great mentality to just not give up at any point of the match and score TWO late goals despite their goal being the follow up of a red card elbow-offence on giroud (who you still have stood his ground and simply whacked won the winger)

yeeeeesss fucking yeeeees get tin

hectic stuff in the first half , just making things too complicated and overthining or wanting them too much with those two pedro shots, hazard and the morata block etc. but it is great how we open them up again and again. at some point we will score if we keep this up. pathetic by newcastel btw to play that deep on their own ground tho

yeah just duck and its a goal wtf did he do there. Morata just ahs extremely slow reactions for a striker

No you didnt. Apart from Sinclair They were not academy products just average players we bought in their early twens.

The last time, Alonso had him in his pocket. As long as he is not 1 vs 1 against him we will be fine. Never would have thought City were gonna slip up here albeit Wolves have a few nice players. Get in!

I remember that game. Sturridge played left wing and beat his man 10 times or so with his abnormal speed back then only to miss every shot until very late in the game when he scored with the most difficult chance it was a very frustrating game with allmour misses even though two late goals ny kalou and Studge put a bit gloss on it.

Yes our defending is shit but we are creating and taking our chances like a real sarri side and i hope christensen can give a bit more tactical nous when h comes back in the side. When things click in a few weeks or months we will be more than fine Imo and I cant see us not winning a title we are in 3 winnable cup competitions and have nice squad depth and a quality midfield which is always the most important

Torres had good games too in which he led the game well, assisted, combined well, tried hard but the he had patches wete he was completely anonymous or even worse produced like 20 turnovers. But for Torres it was his pace he lost with that injury and witj his pace his confidence left. Morata just has shot confidence and struggles to pull himself out. He will have good patches where he scores a few games in a row and other than Torres he still has his pace and is good in the air but he will never be a consiatent leading striker and that is why he can never be a main man in attack. He is too busy sorting himself out too lead the line. He would be a decent 2nd striker like at Juve or a joker or maybe even a starter dor a mid table team where the pressure is not that big but he will never be a Kane/lewandowski type of lone striker

Still so pissed now Marina has officially fucked up the Willian Sale. Will come back to hurt us..he now has 0 value and we could have shed him for 60 fk mill and just taken this Andre Gomes fella who we could have loaned somewhere too. In a normal company you are fired for a mistake like this.

True but the whole team was awful vs City b cause City are just so much better than we are rn. Sarris does not seem as dogmatic as Conte and Mourinho sonI hope he will drop him as soon as he gets too shaky

Ho can you know you are taller than him when you habe never actually stood in front of him? The pictures of Him next to Rüdiger and de Gea who are both 1,91 i think suggest he is just a bit shorter so 1,89 is probably accurate. He is only 23 so maybe he grew a bit since the 1,86 was taken. People height also varies over the day by 2-3 cms so actually both measurs might be accurate depending on the time it was taken.

Dont think he is finished already albeit he was a liability vs Terriers and hopefully will be eased out for Christensen during the season.

I would lov Cho tearing apart Bellerin again for maybe 60 mins and then to maake things even worse for them bring on Hazard 😋 if we play like we did in preseason against them and finish like vs huddersfield it will be a great day

He is 22.
