ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Rom has been getting where he needs to be. We have shit going on as far as getting him the ball. Nobody is trying to get a through ball to him. It is just safe garbage bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Saturday shitty had all the possesion and we never had a shot on tatrget. Now we have all the possesion and we still can't get a shot on target. I said at the start no way Chilwell and CHO... now i'm saying ffs get tehm on.

Pizy 18,952 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 What a fucking infuriating performance. We all KNEW Juve would set up ultra defensively and that’s exactly what they’ve done. So what do we do? We make it extremely easy for them to park their entire team behind the ball by playing walking pace football with ZERO ideas about how to penetrate the lines. Kova and Jorginho didn’t seem to pass the ball forward AT ALL and neither wingback seemed to cross the halfway line in any sort of dangerous position. And to make things even more annoying, Juve’s only real dangerous moments that whole half came from schoolboy errors from us. Lazy square passes (which Kova has been doing for years now) and silly fouls that this idiot ref is all to glad to whistle. We looked like a clueless Mourinho team there who has never trained attacking patterns. BenjaminBlue and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the only issue with that is that tonight, he has probably been the best of the three up there and he’s not been heavily involved. His movement and link up is there in fits and starts but he can do a bit better as can the ones supporting him. In fact I would be questioning Ziyech and Havertz’s contributions more. In fact I hope we get a change there and the most likely is Werner looking at the bench… and I cannot believe I am saying it, but he cannot do any worse than Havertz or Ziyech - surely? People probably wont admit it but love him or hate him, we miss Mason Mount in these types of fixtures. People may question his contribution but he links the midfield and attack much much better than those 2 have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 67% possession but no chances created. Two almost costly mistakes by Kovacic. Their left flank appears to be weak but Alonso cannot penetrate (someone like Willian was needed there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to revert to a back 4. Azpi/James and Chilwell are fine as fullbacks but don't cut it as wingbacks (attacking wise). The only way this wingback system works in an attacking sense with this current lot is if Alonso and/or CHO are having an ace game, it's no coincidence our best display so far is Spurs where Alonso pulled a 10/10.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 We should make more shots from outside the area. Mybe they are hopeless but it will make them open their line to catch the player who appears to be in shooting position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more off the ball, his pressing is non existent and every successful team presses well. His spell here is starting to go just as I feared, gets goals but makes the dynamic weaker.

Pizy 18,952 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Neither Alonso nor Azpi can get on the ball and beat defenders one on one. That is an issue they’ve ALWAYS had. They aren’t technically good enough and they aren’t fast enough. They should ONLY play wingback against teams we are vastly better than. Just imagine TT’s setup if we had the two Liverpool fullbacks. We’d be unstoppable. We need pace and aggression in those areas. Azpi and Alonso are statues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminBlue 33 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Funny how pundits push out pieces or commentary on “how to stop lukaku” or “why he is so good back to goal” blah blah but guess what, why bother when we never play him the ball in these areas to prove this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have hope Chilwell can be a fantastic LWB. He's hardly put in a horrid shift there anyway. Livramento would've been mint for us and its disappointing Tuchel didn't encourage him to stay.
