Match Day Thread Away vs Manchester City!

Is Robertson dealing with the other lad any better? Not really.

Salah has finally decided its his job to help today as he has his goal and assist. Diaz is helping Robertson who is only dropping off deeper and buying space.

Trent problem is ego as he is getting in too close trying to win the ball rather than just doing what Robertson is doing.

For me the key to this game is not having konate and or vvd drawn out of the middle at all. Support the full backs and provide that screen and we can keep a clean sheet.

451 even, Just send one man on and control. Anti football but if you are not going to keep possession you might as well

 

Funny how we are watching the same game but seeing things differently; imo, Trent is dropping off too much and not being aggressive whereas Robbo is doing his job very well.

Salah was tracking before scoring btw

 

What a lovely Sunday this is turning out to be

 

I dont think we are playing well not a lot of intensity but we are 2 up so can’t complain to much

 

Just a comment in response to the comment we are worst in he prem on set piece.

We have given up even talking about this.

But.

We have gravenberch and szoboszlai who are both 6 foot plus. We have two giant cbs. That's 4 targets

For me the delivery is ****, someone is obsessed with inswingers but the ball rarely has pace on it.

At least we stopped crowding the two cbs on a keeper and never getting the ball near the only dangers.

I'd be happy to say delivery from set piece is vital .

 

City are dominating possession, we need to have more of the ball.

 

Playing on the counter on purpose by the looks of it.

Let city play in front of our defence, drag them out and use Diaz and Salah to run in from the wide. City's defence is very slow.

 

We are half the time not even trying to pass which is frustrating but if we do just donthst this gsme is there fore the taking even more.

We back passed to alisson there and nobody wanted a pass so it was hoofed at nobody and lost.

 

Looks off tbh

 

No a mile off surely.

Lovely goal but szobo looked well off there.

No flag.

 

Looked very close for offside - probably is from replay

 

Well off by a boot.

Neville celebrating as per.

 

At least he squared it to make sure of the goal even if off.

 

Wtf are these comments.

Moments ago it felt done but it doesn't now all of a sudden??


Come on.

 

We need another goal to be sure.

 

Rarely see a player able to chest down a ball from a corner.

 

Gakpo is only sub here right now. Diaz maybe and just fresh legs to continue to work and cover.

Then endo later and quansah later.

 

Gravenberch doesn't go in for corners, he's playing the cover role at the halfway.

 

Doku has been a consistent nuisance at the left flank

 

Now the comment on city keeping a grip on a trophy they've no chance at already.

Joke.

Imlean you look down at your pregame notes as a full un play happens but surely you do not write that in your notes as it's ludicrous
