agree - and they ruthlessly exploited the weakness shown up against Sheff. Utd. ie the huge chasm at left back

agree - we are

this is the geezer we need: https://www.transfermarkt.com/lawrence-shankland/leistungsdaten/spieler/225744

it's becoming cumulative though - I think Fati might be the short-term answer for the rest of this year. Welbeck, who I rate, was never a great scorer; Fergie is having growing issues, I would say - ie he looks clumsy at the mo. Obviously, no idea who we'd get in though.

Is there any chance we might get a number 9 in - maybe offering Dahoud going the other way.

Thought he'd modelled it on Cilla Black

Belated Christmas tree formation!

This is all we've got: Steele JPVH Baleba Perv Hinsh Dahoud Moder Gross Joao Welb Ferg Billy Milner et al

Looked to me like our players have got used to performing mid-week.

it was beautiful to behold the tactical flexibility we showed yesterday. Underlapping full backs and Baleba as a counter-counter. Ultimately, their pen only came about because JPVH slipped and fell onto their atttacker, fouling him in the process.

Do they not have a reverse angle for that VAR call? or did they choose to not show it to the ref?

Like the line up - aiming to be up 4-0 at half time then hang on second half.

(4-5-1) Bart Veltman JPVH Julio Milner Gross Baleba Lallana Moder Hinsh Duffus billy, ferg, mitoma, buona, adingra - to come on pack the defence and midfield and play rope-a-dope...

I thought their goal may have been offside, specifically the armpit of the no.10 who ran in behind Webster

Enciso on both assists?

I'd love to see Igor crack one off (oo-err). Left footed with a deft touch, Brazilian and those thighs. If I was in the wall, I'd be planning to duck.

for me, he lets in way too many at the near post - I feel other teams have sussed this out.

those "line of sight" offsides could use a camera angle from behind the goalkeeper to assess.

oh well, one point lost. Hopefully we can beat them at home.

De Zerbi's platonic form of the goal involves our keeper standing on the ball and then deft single touches up the field (def-mid-cf) each imparting compound force onto the the ball , at which point all you see is a blur on the field, a net bulge and feel a bit queasy. 1-0.
