I suppose the one thing we can say is that there basically isn’t such a thing as a succession plan for Kane. Impossible really and the world is now finally realising why.

Though we should’ve done far better than thinking Richarlison and Solanke were any form of answer.
Richy was always parallel rather than a succession plan, signed more to allow us to rotate H

But replacing him really would have needed two players, and we only signed one of them in Maddison
 
Tel doing Tel things

Come on son head over the ball before shooting to get some control on them rocket launchers
 
I know Villa have made loads of changes (I was very surprised about that tbh) but we’ve been really good this half. Despite Villa not being at full strength, you can only play what’s in front of you, and we can’t ask for much more than we’ve seen in this 45.
Despite being 2-0 up, I’ll take a draw right now <laugh>

Not a weak team from them
Rogers Tielemans, Martinez, Abrahams
 
COD PSYCHOLOGY WARNING
Have to wonder if the reason Tel keeps trying to do a little bit too much is due to TF freezing him out for half the season

Don't recall him trying for a goal every time he got the ball last season, anyway

It's possible

He's a 19 year old kid

trying too hard to prove a point is a possibility

Hopefully De Zerbi sorts him out

I think there's a player in there

To be fair when we signed him Bayern fans were commenting saying his finishing is ****e.

Great cross for Richarlison though. Should’ve laid Gallagher on too, could’ve been sitting on two assists then.

One thing I do recall form last season was his crossing being a breath of fresh air

...mainly as Ange had us spamming balls along the 6 yard line endlessly
 
Tel, for all his minor decision making faults, has been absolutely superb so far.
The press from all has been great and Gallagher has been a revelation.
Best half of football this season by a country mile. But we definitely need another ....and as soon after Half Time as possible....
 
I'm with King needed a third you have to make hay when the sun shines, Villa so poor, but the next goal is key score it and we should win, if Villa score next all bets are off...
