!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 There's a reason why it took Pep a full year to figure out City's defence. It's difficult to organize defence when playing attacking football. Losing possession is like blasphemy in this system and it always costs us big time, that first goal being a very good example.

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The worrying thing is that always hoping that manager will move sort the flaws... hopefully this time it happens and isn't like a one off season thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,539 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hopefully we can sort this 2nd half.. Losing after being 2-0 up and to them be shit.. They should be about 5-2 up and probably end up being way we're going Urgh.. Let's not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculatingInfinity 1,477 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Barkley is a trash dog. Please take off. Alonso... Well... No real alternatives on the bench. But do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,512 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 major upgrades needed in defense thats for sure, but as usual the board is too stupid to see that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Jorginho is putting a horror show there. Sarri soon will find out PL is a different animal compared to Série A. I mean, when Arsenal got the ball the team is playing with 10 men. Jorginho is bad at positioning and he is not marking pra covering anything. Kante must play as DM.

Vesper 30,264 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Willian and Pedro have completely forgotten all defensive responsibility. It should be 5 -2 goonas if they hadn't left their shooting boots in the dressing room. Shockingly poor from Alonso and Luiz too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytis33 1,283 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The first 20 minutes was a joy to watch and a sign of things to come I hope. We're two games in to a new system results will be questionable for a while. But those 20 minutes looked light years better than our first match and against a much tougher opponent.

Pl frenetic pace needs getting used to. Others have’t figured out the system yet. so not entirely surprising. Just happy for morata return to football.

They are being overloaded without help. Forfet the cutback. It is obvious what happen, arsenal overload our wing and we look confused on how to cover the extra man. Make it harder for arsenal to have clear cut bacm then protect the cutback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,512 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 what infuriates me more is we are gifting Arsenal a way to win this game, a game we should be controlling much better after leading 2-0, fuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,984 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 We really have to hope half time settles the players' heads. They looked shell shocked. How we can go from bossing it (while admittedly still conceding chances) to looking like scared dogs is mad. Like getting kicked in the teeth. It was as if we expected Arse to surrender.

Vytis33 1,283 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Jorginho has been better than advertised. Like another manager out on the pitch. Very vocal and demonstrative for only being here a short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
