At least one needs to track back, The distance between centrebacks and midfield is too big. Why are Luiz and Rudiger (and at times Azpi) sitting so far down. Can't play Sarriball with this type of setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't play Sarriball with this type of setup They are sitting far down because if they don't City will just loft the ball over them to Aguero or Sane the way they did a few times in the first half. Its how they have to play because the midfield is leaving them exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Far from a fan of his but Chris Sutton just hit the nail on the head. This is a team coached for 2 years vs a team coached for 2 weeks. Add to that guardiola at least inherited from an attack minded manager in Pellegrini. Sarri has inherited our team from two of the most defensive coaches in world football. This is going to take time and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Im not happy with Alonso,Luiz,Rudiger, or Morata....but the issue isnt them. We are losing this because of the three of Barkley-Fabregas-Jorginho. They are not doing enough to help us establish the pace of the match.

FabHazard 655 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Fabregas is so slow...He should be on bench.....Morata continues to disappoint....Azpi is average as RB...Rudiger turns like a tank with his so slow passing..He should have closed aguero sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Morata has terrible ball control. Doesn't know how to control his body when on the ball We need energy in midfield (Fabregas out), speed on the flanks (Alonso out) and control in attack (Morata & Pedro out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morata just awful, I hope Michy gets in the team soon and becomes the no.1 while giroud will be a more than decent no.2 and relegating morata to 3 and hopefully sold in jan or latest by the next summer. Just can’t suffer through that guy. Fully agree. Giroud and Bats as strikers. Bats is a pure striker; Giroud would be more in assist role to Bats + defensive role. As he did for France during WC. Morata as nr. 3 or sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Relax. That's the difference between a team that's been trained towards a certain philosophy for two years (and still has needed tons of investment for fine tuning!) versus 2 weeks of "pre-season" on a World Cup year.
