Everyone knows I’m probably Eriksen’s biggest fan but him in a midfield two alongside McTominay away at City feels like an incredibly stupid decision by ten Hag. Already partly to blame for not tracking Foden’s run. I appreciate that maybe ten Hag is looking to take the game to them but City’s possessional control against just one defensively minded midfielder is pretty suicidal.
It's like they've set up to play against a side that will give them lots of possession. Plenty of firepower but not much to get on the ball and get it to those players.
Christian Eriksen marking Haaland on set-pieces! Possibly the only Spurs player that I've seen who hates heading the ball more than Son.
So is 0-4 to City at H/T an improvement on 0-4 to Brentford at H/T? And how bad does this make Arsenal look?
United's match day squad cost them over £600m to assemble. They have a further £250m or so not even in the squad. Laughable.
As I said the other day, the postponement did Spurs a big favour (as that probably would have been them) , Other than that, if the Poool do not get close to their general form of the past 4 seasons, the PL title is going to be a stroll for Citeh.
Oldham’s defence is made of straw too - conceded two from the 86th minute onwards yesterday at home to Wrexham to turn a 1-0 lead into defeat in front of a crowd of 9,500 in Div 5 But did beat City last time they played them away in the league. And between 1985 and 1993 went six games at their place unbeaten winning 3, drawing three including a 4-1 win
