Arne Slot to talk to Vitezslav Jaros and ask him to stay in the club. Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?. That Caoimhin Kelleher Is going to be sold as soon as possible.
Yet every Jota chance had zero to do with passing. He scored a good one, a nice finish but missed 2 sitters then wide of the target. All the chances that were decent played the ball first time and none over played. Szobo yet again passed when first time hit was needed. I agree that alisson injury had nothing to do with the state of the game and everything to do with the fact he was carrying it and not wanting to kick long. It could have gone at any time in a sprint out to clear or a kick irrespective of the game state. He clearly doesn't tell anyone he's in trouble as his cbs were not avoiding a back pass and so he only has himself to blame.
If our goal had nothing to do with good passing i was in an even worse state on Saturday than i thought .
No, all I mean is it's down to first time ball. Yes we knocked it about and drew someone and gakpo made a run It was gakpo hitting that pass in quickly without taking touches that gave jota a shot but also jota running around the defender who was asleep that made his finish. Absolutely not a thing wrong with tsimikas pass nor the cross. Thr point being they were a quick vertical pass thst got a man in who instantly played the cross. By contrast players taking a touch or making another lateral pass hasn't got us any goals but has got us a lot of missed opportunities.
There's miles of difference when you are doing it in your own half seeking to draw an opponent to make a gap or at the opponents penalty area when you have a half chance but choose to pass it on and not take anything on. This is all about intent. We pass it about at the back to do what? Make space elsewhere to got for or to waste the clock down. We pass it in the opponents box for what reason? Just to make a clearer chance. Nothing else. If we pass rather than shoot and it allows opponents close down than why pass? The only reason can be the chance you have is a very low chance of success. I'd contend firing off a shot per Szoboszlai would be a better option then rolling it to a player who is then closed down
Look, if we get our money ask on kelleher in January we will take it. Jaros has 90 senior pro games under this belt. 1 international cap and has won 2 cups and 1 league. Obviously Ireland isn't a anything like a top league but it's better them league 2 and Austrian league is OK. At 23 what more do you want from a solid keeper. We have Davies in u21 to be third choice for 3 months and the giant Georgian to come in next summer.
