King Kante 1,643 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Give credit to Lille they came to play. We could've been better in midfield but at least we didn't give them anything at our end. Overall happy with that, not prefect but happy.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted February 22, 2022 Author Popular Post! Share Posted February 22, 2022 No Lukaku and suddenly we looked less dysfunctional going forward, even if most of the moments came from transitions. But it will be back to the norm on Sunday.

LAM09 7,056 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Almost the ideal performance. Better decision making & we could have put the tie to bed tonight. Not sure what's up with injuries in our CL matches, but I hope this trend doesn't continue. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Very good game from us I thought. Had the boys over to watch it so could not much during, but for sure would point out that for me playing without Lukaku and esp Kai, Ziyech, Puli in their best positions made a hell out of a difference. Kova and Ziyech out is huge tho. I just hope it is nothing major. Expect them to miss some serious game time tho, they amassed quite a lot of minutes recently. The beginning was actually electric, wish it had gone on this way. We played very much on the counter attack, I do think this was the gameplan. Kovacic and Kante breaking their lines and spreading it wide and forward was a common pattern. Worked almost to perfection Big shout out to the wee man, that run and assist was absolutely inchperfect. Really beautiful counter attacking goal. Just hope we will see more of the same vs the dippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we are solid at the back, press and use our pace on the counter we are a danger to any team. Pulisic's goal was in fact quite similar to the one Emerson score vs Atleti in terms of the runs made Also playing on the counter is my favourite style. It is key to our identity and I just find a well executed counter attacking goal very satisfying to watch. Beats tiki-taka and endless sideways passing any day.

DDA 9,941 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I mean, Havertz on his day is something else. If he can become more clinical... we have a legend on our hands but he has to do it on a consistent basis. No good doing it in games here and there. He needs to demand a ball at all times. Top performance from the lads. Was really impressed with Pulisic. Haven't seen him play that well in a long time. Kante turned up today and I don't even think that was him at his best. For me, the man of the match was Silva. He was absolutely World Class. Such a special, special player. Well done lads. bigbluewillie and Strike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymop 90 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I’ve said this before, but if ever a player should be kept on as a coach ( assuming he wants to stay) it’s Thiago. Nobody could be a better example to young players on positioning, tackling, keeping your body in total condition and how to lead by example.

He has admitted himself that he never really wanted to play here prior to signing for us. I have the feeling we only got him as PSG lost the plot and we were his only decent option of winning silverware and give him the wages he wanted.
