Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Worst performance so far vs a sub par opposition. We miss attacking players . Enzo is not a no 10, esp in a 343. Way too slow and not a dribbler. Chukwumeka so much better in that role. And we have no one to bring from the bench really. Need at least one more cos we surely will concede Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look so neat and tidy between the lines and in the buildup but then we look dead in the final third. We need a creative spark badly. This is the worst opposition we’ll play in the league this season and other than high possession stats we didn’t trouble them nearly enough. I am in for Cherki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they showed some enthusiasm and passion and tried to play forward it would be appreciated. Go 1-0 up and sit back = 99% chance of conceding. It's a cancer at our club and it needs to be stamped out. Edited August 25, 2023 by Muzchap zinctek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent more on Caicedo who looks an absolute joke at this point . if we really need one more top class CB, he could be a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Things Poch can actually do for the second, IMO: 1. take one of the CMs out put any attacking play he's got avail 2. Ask Jackson to not drop back so much, so we can try to keep the game more in their half Lose one of the CBs if he has trained that option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,156 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Happy with Sterling and score although should be more but not happy with system. Looks slightly negative. We don't need 3 at the back. Sometimes Sterling and Jackson look like a 2 man attack when they could do with another winger up there. Hopefully a second comes early before the nerves kick in.

lluubbeenn 183 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 You are crazy. Most of the players on the pitch know each other for a month or two. What do you expect? Prime city? Prime Barca? And on top of that we have NINE injuries. Only thing that matters is the win today. Keep your feet on the ground and the blue flag flying high!

Pizy 18,985 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Btw, this is the match where Nkunku’s absence is most keenly felt so far. He would be amazing in this sort of match. Depressing that he got injured when he did. He and Sterling in this form on opposite sides would wreak havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
