It was their pattern last season too. To either blow teams away early on or sit on their lead after 30 mins.
can hear the clear agenda. gone down in a delayed action comment. shearer them acts the magnanimous man so the commentator can bring up jota.
that's a clear yellow. petulant and zero effort to go for ball. team isn't moving enough and there's few options as arsenal are good. that's the main issue here. move.more and be an option to get them on the back foot.
Jones rips the piss out of Ben White. White thuggishly shoves him over cause he's embarrassed No Yellow
Why does Ben White always look like he spends more time on the sunbed and getting his eyebrows done, than he does on the training pitch?
Pathetic from the ref. Can tell white is pissed cos jones out muscles him then does him with skill and has no intention to try get the ball. Was a clear a yellow as you’ll ever see.
Been alright so far. Just lack cutting edge up top atm. No real link up play when we get there. Midfield being passed through a bit too easily as well. Gakpo not really offering much in midfield.
it's just down to us have very few options to pass to and then when we do have it being far far too slow moving it. as usual it's Jones not playing it. he's in good positions but just rarely releases the pass as the ball is quicker than any player. on one occasion he could just put elliot behind at rw but carried it until arsenal flood back. another he let's nunez run offside then takes two touches til closed down then plays the ball. Elliott got zero presence. gakpo is playing like a forward and happy to send his energy closing down and pressing but not offering any option our forward is perma offside even from a slow free that was offside. just how when your only job is be in front of the cb for a header can you be off. the back 2 look poor as they have no options to just play too. I'd get gravenberch on second half as third cm here. who goes off is anyone's guess.
Arsenal been the better team but it's not as one sided as the commentary are suggesting. We're definitely missing players but that's what happen when you (rightly) rest players Jones as been good, Elliott anonymous. Gakpo is trying to get involved and Nunez is being left on his own with too much to do.
I'd want trent to stay wide this half and I'd want someone to stay wide right in front of him and just create that option to play down the line. gomez is wide lect by diaz needs to stay out as well as that option and we should get them thinking more about running back that just pressing up.
