That kind of pace and power against the Gooner defense could be hilarious to watch. Werner would be useless, because Arsenal would most definitely park the bus. He'd be more useful against the Scousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azul 1,615 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I still see Werner getting mentioned to be in the starting XI after we've gotten Lukaku, which doesn't make sense to me. Roughly 70% of the PL games we play are against teams that are going to be parking the bus against us. Would it not be better to start Kai-Lukaku-Mason against the likes of Newcastle/Arsenal/Aston Villa/Brentford/Watford etc than starting Werner-Lukaku-Mason? Werner would be more useful against the likes of Liverpool/Leeds/City/United in my opinion OneMoSalah and Strike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His recent performance was extremely average because we played against another lowblock team. People know I'm one of his biggest critics, but I have accepted what kind of a player he is for us. He's useful against a team that's willing to play a high-line against us. To add to that, he could also be good against lowblock teams in the second half as a supersub. If we are in the lead and the opposition is forced to attack to get back into the game, then Werner would be an ideal sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I know Alonso's been in great form but I would love to see CHO at LWB here. I think Rudiger can manage Pepe by himself and Chambers will likely start at RB. hiterto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Pulisic and Ziyech are made of glass. Kante is rapidly breaking down these days as well. Constant niggling hamstring injury. Thankfully we have enough cover to go without Ziyech and Pulisic, but Kante always being hurt is a massive problem with the run of fixtures we have coming. manpe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
