zinctek 470 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 sorry am not hating on him all game but sterling is so negative always going back. never takes anyone on. hope he goes off for the second half. mkh and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,461 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Gallagher is just so slow in the head. He starts thinking about where to pass the ball, only after he receives it. That's why he holds on to it for too long and just ends up either doing a back pass or giving away possession. Some things just can't be coached I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Decent workout, that. We grew into the game. Gusto held up well against Mitoma which is encouraging. Chilly looks very sharp going forward. Colwill looks like an absolute gem with those long passes. Nkunku looks lively. Only genuine concern was how our midfield 3 looked very poor and shaken against the aggressive Brighton press. BUT that’s to be expected with Gallagher and a couple of teenagers making up the midfield. With Enzo, Caicedo hopefully, and a 3rd midfielder (Kudus?) that will dramatically improve.

I think he has been pretty decent, played some good defence he has chickenhead for a partner so not an easy task with pinball Brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundalf 806 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 20yo Gusto against one of the best wingers in the league doing pretty well. Good signing so far. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is too slow for my liking... slows the game down way too much and allows the opposition to re-organise. Tomo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I love Santos one touch passing forward to spring our attacks man we missed something like that so many times last year. I feel like Jackson or Broja up top with nkunku in carneys roll could be deadly. Carney is a bit slow in seeing the pass maybe it’s just sharpness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayteezy 18 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Really impressive showing especially from our youngsters. It’s annoying to admit but this Brighton side is pretty brilliant. De Zerbi has them extremely well drilled. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Obviously midfield is our weak spot which is a shame cos that is where games are usually won. Defence looks solid and attack lively. Sterling, Gallagher and santos been somewhat underwhelming. The latter obviously still needs some time to adjust but the former two are just hopeless cases. We have to keep in mind this is a newly assembled experimental squad vs a well drilled full strength Brighton side mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
