Thats what excites me is we are where we are without them 3 all clicking. They all have individually but not together.
We’ve still scored just as many as last season I believe? Difference is, we score goals from a more controlled possession based style whereas last year was fast,counter attacking style (which looks better on the eyes). I don’t think we will see anything much better than what we already have. Ruthless and efficient is what we need to keep doing.
whilst i agree with your general thrust there is still the point that some of the instinctive interplay between the front 3 is missing this season. That interplay would push us onto another level which may be required if the defensive standards slip.
Rafa like many mangers in the bottom half of the table are going to have plenty to say about the title.
Way too much hype for this. All the talk of us being 7 clear already, just like city being 1 behind yesterday. Gonna be a horrible game
If we are not complacent, we can get all the points we need to win the league. We need 39points from 45 possible points.
The reality is that we are facing more and more sides who sit deep and narrow. when they do sit deep and narrow and try to force our players to play in really congested area where fast interplay just isn't possible. we rarely see one touch football simply cos its 10 men back efforts closing space. Look at palace.... they scored 3 goals but they never threatened at all til they got one breakaway where matip played them on. then they never threatened again til they were 2-1 down... every time they were level or ahead they sat right off deep and never hurt us. We are having to find space wide and try turn sides or win a turn over cos its hard play the one touch and back heels and through balls in games like this. once we get one then the game gets a bit easier if anything. the reason we let in 3 v Leicester is we were cocky,. i hope we learned that lesson.
see crystal palace. i hope its the cheapest lesson ever learned. If sides attack us then we can be got at if we don't go do the right things, but if we do then there should be space for the forwards.
I think we are better this year than last year and year before in breaking teams down. Last year and year before we are going to be lucky to get a draw from Palace game. Our players are more matured.
I assume Puel knowing we will come at them will hope to exploit the space with the pace of Gray & Vardy but they also seem to get good support from MF. really need the MF to stay alert ever mind the defenders.
Just f#cking win tonight by any means. I couldn't care less if we are poor and get a lucky ricochet off a beach ball to win it....as long as we win.
