One of them resulted in a pen. That's gotta do more with our defensive line on that day. We tried to play a high one and didn't press well, always bound to fail. If we had played a deeper line, we wouldn't have any problem no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that has nothing to do with the fact that Azpi struggled with the pace, big time. He did struggle, full stop. You asked for an instance, you got it.

Imagine knowing your team have slow defenders and yet you ask them to play a high line. If Lampard suddenly ask the team to play a high line today against City with Silva in the back 4 and he struggles with balls over the top, who are you gonna blame? Silva for having no pace or Lampard for setting us up to fail knowing there are slow defenders in the backline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva for having no pace or Lampard for setting us up to fail knowing there are slow defenders in the backline? Is Silva even slow? Seems fast to me. Obviously not as fast as Zouma, but Silva still looks fast. Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't honestly care But you have a go at a user for having the nerve to actually say something about Azpi, you get an answer and you still jump around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that situation is obvious, simple logic, no? Give me an example of where Azpi has truly struggled 1 v 1 against someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the same thought that gets mentioned every single time before this kind of game but nothing disastrous really happened (of course now that I say this, something disastrous will happen today)...
