Actually played half decent. Controlled the game without doing loads. But small margins

gakpo goes through 1v1 and puts it wide.
Wilson goes through 1v1 and puts it in.
 
Vvd no urgency to get the ball forward and try to get level quickly . They'll leave that until the last 10 mins
 
No idea what’s happened to our press. Every time Fulham player gets the ball they can have 2 touches before player gets close and pass it round them.

If we can’t press properly drop off and be compact like Fulham are doing. Let them have 2/3/4 touches and don’t leave spaces. Getting to them 2 seconds after got the ball isn’t useful for anyone

The whole team game learned the Oxalade-Chamberlain press where you cover the ground ahead of you with no intention of winning the ball.

Everything about the team lacks intensity. There's no desire or cohesion.

Everything is half hearted. Half a press, half sit in. No clear identity to how we defend. Is it from the front, do we sit in and let them try to beat us?

Its like some of the players get one team talk and the others get told the opposite.

Im pleased going forward we are of one mind. Play the ball slowly between you, over and over again until the opposition nod off, then your in.

I can only see stats, not the game, fortunately.

62% possession giving the sum total of one shot off target.

Going to Slots plan then. Genius.
 
We just don’t have any identity which was the same last year but the players over preformed so was overlooked. The only reason we are on an unbeaten run is because we have been clinical as we don’t create many good chances anymore.
 
So predictable, exactly like the Leeds game, little urgency, lots of side to side passing, going nowhere and then a sucker punch goal with the centre backs caught out. Arsenal must be licking their lips

With an eye on "transition" a year and a half later , players added. What has improved? Do we control the ball better?
Are we physically stronger across the field?
Are we defensively better?
Are we more clinical?
Better at set pieces?
Do we we pass the ball better?

Nope? So what are we transitioning to?
