And, if he is fit, Kante, and probably (do not know if he gambles as we have no other CB) Tomori. If Puli come, he will come for Barkley. Mount pressing has been fantastic. Our backline looks a bit suspect otherwise this is one way traffic. We just need to stay calm and if this is how United defen we will create chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Zouma made two horrible mistakes and Pedro also. Starman60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We're losing... But I'm pretty happy with that. Away against united clearly the best team without our best player. Great tactics by Frank. But zouma needs to be better there Starman60 and Thor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 For all the sub Pedro off, the thing is we need to play with 2 actual wingers. Its not working with 2 10s. Honestly Jorginho just there was shouting at Mount or Barkley because whoever it was were standing central where everythings congested and not in the channel where the space is to create a 2 on 1 with Emerson. Its difficult to say who to take off out of Ross and Mason, obviously we have had chances but lack real pace and directness in the final third. Weve had chances but a mistake in our box has fucked us. Some sloppy periods of play too so we need to see what will happen 2nd half but we can get a goal still.

But I see alot of passion in his play, his movement has been good too, least hes trying to play these passes only needs one to go through. But I also see your points aswell Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 9,941 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I honestly wouldn't better an eyelid if we never saw Pedro start in a Chelsea shirt again. He's sub material at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hes also had 2 very good chances and is getting into good positions. Its a tough call him or Mount but its clear 2 10s arent working. @communicate Mounts pressings been good but in final third hes been indecisive. Id rather someone who is going to threaten more because we are 1-0 down. Its hard though. Lamps may not change it but theres no doubt Pulisic has to be introduced sooner rather than later.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Brilliant football. A bit more concetration and focus needed. But absolutely exciting to watch. Thing is we will need to make the subs on time, because this intense tempo will tire our players. Milan and Johnnyeye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 At the age of eight I taught myself to use my left foot simply by deciding not to use my right foot in playground football. It took me about a week, and for the rest of my life I could do everything but dribble equally well with both feet. I will never understand why any professional footballer should be as horribly one footed as Emerson is. This causes us to loose momentum in a lot of possessions because he plays backwards with his left foot and just ignores his right. Other than that, Kurt being Kurt, and the sloppiness in our own third continuing from preseason, we're doing OK. Johnnyeye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,510 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 typical, mancs get the usual penalty at Old Toilet and we can't convert our chances, soooo unlucky not to be ahead 2-1 or at least 1-1 at HT, the lads are doing ok, we are playing well despite some mistakes in possession, we need to stop stupidly giving the ball away in dangerous areas, Barkley is too careless, Zouma needs to be very careful. Lets hope for a much better 2nd half, cheers. Bosnian Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
