Aye but Lamptey hasn’t really affected the game at all though has he? I mean your making out as if he’s prime Cafu when he’s much more like the Theo Walcott of wingbacks. 

Basically needing lots of space to run into and then 99/100 times shits himself when he gets to the final third, delivering subpar crosses every time. 

(Watch now he will likely assist their equaliser or something)

 

On the game itself, since the goal we’ve played better in the first two thirds of the field  but the attack is disjointed and not making any sort of real impact. CHO spurned the only other half decent chance we had when he maybe could have tried putting it to Mason in and around the penalty spot. 

Exploiting that space is causing danger, though. He hasn’t yet put in a dangerous ball but if you keep giving him the run of the whole flank he may eventually do so.

Lukaku 2 touches all game 

Is that actually true?

[Tomo 21,733]

Our next FA Cup opponents play better football than what we do with Lukaku as a vocal point and i'm not even joking.

The ONLY way this crap can be remotely justified is if it comes with a lot of W's.

[Laylabelle 9,376]

Ermm and again let's not start that way

[ZAPHOD2319 4,514]

I had to pause the game. Love the goal by Ziyech, also loved it looked like to told Lukaku to shut up and run and get the damn pass.

[Pizy 18,409]

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES are Ziyech and CHO going to get the ball in an acre of space and fail to beat their man?! This is RIDICULOUS!

I don’t know what you expect though, Alonso and/or Azpilicueta are pushing up high when we have the ball (as usual, same happens with Reece and Chilly) and its giving us passing options on the sides/the opportunity to switch the play and utilise the overload they’ve created. 

Do we just have them sit in all game because Lamptey has had 2 or 3 runs down the right side? The 2 wingbacks today lack some athleticism but lets not pretend that this being countered on the wings by teams is necessarily something new or something that doesn’t happen.

I think the commentator on the stream I am watching said he had 7 touches so far after the pass/shit run situation involving Ziyech. So he’s maybe at around 10 if that.

As of minute 39 yes 

i think it is 4 now 

switch to back 4 made us look better 

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

It seems both teams have now switched to back 4 

alonso as lb Cho as lw

lamprey playing as some kind of no 10 

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Sad Ziyech is so slow 

[gdlk 272]

We have halve team which pace is like turtle.. 

[Laylabelle 9,376]

And there it is...ffs

[milka 3,349]

again ,again and again  

[Pizy 18,409]

We’re getting dominated again.

Our entire defense standing totally still. Free header and our players didn’t even fucking move.

[Vesper 28,993]

ffs

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Awful defending there.

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Surprisingly Alonso at full speed is not even that slow still not good 

back 4 has improved our offense but rekt our solidity so we concede 

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

What a header that was tho
