Trent is always better when he stays wide. When he comes inside and pretends to be a CM, we lack the creativity and threat the forwards need. Perhaps Thiago being back in the side means Taa is forced to stay wide as Thiago is better at dominating the CM position than the others.
Looking much more dangerous now. Jota finding some good positions. Pressing from the front Is 100 times better today as well.
Half of half review. Jota not pressing much. Diaz showing the way everywhere. Elliott. No challenges, one horrid central.pass, not contributing much. Thaigo class. Trent trying. Vvd still looking slow. Tsimikas struggling to defend in air v tadic but trying. A lot of errors still amd ajax still able to get in a bit. Better recovery generally however.
Pass from Ali, outrageous. Lovely cross from Jota. Unlucky from Mo. Just got ahead of the front post. Looking good though. Could do with another before Ht to make dominance count.
Far far far too easy. No pressure jota is resting in centre Zero pressure on cbs. No pressure on blind. Trent again has looked at the danger, Had 3 yards on man and just does nothing and is passed round. Matip had no 7 Trents let his man just go so matip has to leave the guy and again trents passed round. Vvd has the scorer and let's him go with 7 there. Tween could have scored. All good work thrown away with one stupid brainless failure to just go with obvious run
Two subs at ht. This is playing for your shirt imo. Elliott is not a.cm. zero.tackles, zero aerial duels, zero going forward really. That's one. If we had a rb and not milner well trent would be off. Gomez is only option and that's as ****ing scary.
How many do they get before a yellow. That's about 5 times they just fouled instantly the ball has gone up near timber
So we’re all 3 midfielders. Guy gets behind to cut the ball back and not one midfielder is back near the area to help cut that out.
