Thoroughly enjoyed that. DCC has made a huge difference. His discipline allowed Lyanco free reign to disrupt and cause carnage. My MOTM but but shoutouts to the wingbacks today
Well done to the team, Ralph and Lambertissier. 3 unbeaten and 5 points on the board. Hopefully our next opponents will be just what Prowsey needs to get a bit more bite in his game, and hopefully a few more forward passes. There was a moment towards the end when he could have played a ball into space for Lucy to get behind the FB, but he turned and played it backwards. He really needs to back himself to make those passes more often.
He needs to be watching videos of the opposition. Players like Odegaard play passes through the middle effortlessly. Just second nature to them
Also, don't want to be too neggy, but why does it seem our players are willing to take a player on, or do a little Cruyff turn, on the edge of our own box, but not on the edge of the opposition box?
So that was excellent. Lyanco and Perraud particularly stood out for me today. Only ‘poor’ performance was JWP who looked ponderous and put in some very odd passes that happened to be both backwards and into an area of more danger repeatedly, his corners continue to be dire as well, also that lazy back heel to no one towards the end was the cherry on top. I wasn’t sure about bringing Theo and Che on when Adam Armstrong and Aribo seemed to still pose a threat and Aribos ability to hold onto the ball feels like it would be invaluable in the dying quarters. Edozie was extremely bright though. That second half was very impressive, however consistency will decide if this performance ultimately matters, it will be an irrelevance if we just revert to type by the next game as we have done every time before. Fingers crossed today wasn’t a flash in the pan.
My Motm is Lyanco. In fact, if I was Ralph I’d be picking him first every week, no idea what position, and building the team around him. Because he’s a ****ing lion.
The one I’m referring to went straight to an Arsenal player, you’ve got me wondering if he tried it more than once.
All my joking about him aside, what a game he had. ****ing tonnes of aggression and read the game well. Really grew into it through the game too. Ralph really really needs to find a way to make him a permanent starter. The gorilla > Terry
Too much aggression at times. Could easily have been sent off for his attempted headbutt near the end.
