I'd go with this but veltman for Lamptey. Ots tempting to match pace with pace but Veltmans just a much better defender who'll cope with pace by getting his positioning right.
Not a fan of Gross at RB personally and I hope he dispenses with 2 up front.
Yeah big fan. Same with Sarmiento really - choice wise. I hope he's studying e erything lallana does.
As much as his live wire performance was needed against Bournemouth - how much he could learn from lallana before he retires about the minimalistic angled one touch passing and directing of...
Can we talk a out the beer machines? First time ever in the WSL against Liverpool so got to try out the beer machine. How brilliant are they? Ice cold morretti and virtually no queue.
I honestly would have preferred Wellbeck to stay on. However that was sorely tested when he bore down on goal in the 2nd half, defence parted, Lamptey overlapped him which seemed to make him over think it, you could see the moment his brain collapsed with indecision and he did what any gangly...
Agreed. A few decent touches but pace he was a passenger in the second half really. I was watching him for a while as him and Wellbeck both staying on was getting on my tits and he was trundling between the half way linne and Edge of the area while the game was going on around him.nice to see...
I think Enciso looks to have filled out a bit since he got here too. Got more of that triangular Prem player look. He seemed to be muscled out of it a lot in his early games but looked to be holding players of better on sat.
I didn't notice when we scored. De Zerbi definitely went mad. Only noticed the staff doing it at the end as the all came together and were in a huddle and bouncing and pulling each other around like defensive linemen do in American football when they smash a wide receiver or intercept the ball...
It's just not his game though. Whatever the hell a 'ground duel' is. I'm not sure he can cut it in a 2 in midfield unless the other one is a monster. His game is on the ball, where he looks good and his passing attempts are mostly progressive and positive. Trying get the ball forward. He's going...
I haven't seen any of the game back but I felt there was a handball. I was so certain of it that I'd literally resigned myself to it being a penalty and couldn't quite believe it when the game restarted.
Yeah I suppose only the manager can tell whether ot was tactical or human or whatever. I suspect there won't be too much tinkering when everyone's fit. I was more annoyed at Solly playing more centrally. We missed his one on ones and as much as lamptey is quick he doesn't make the full back look...
Anyone else see them go absolutely bananas at the end yesterday. Proper big huddle and pile-on and chest bumping session.
There was something about getting that result that seemed especially important and specific to them as De Zerbi was going mad as well.
My totally wild speculation is that, the manager probably wanted to see what kind of reception Moises would get, also what type of message it sends bringing him straight back. You'd think that Undav and Gilmour are top trainers always knocking on the door metaphorically speaking and that with...
It's horrible. The best things about the chelsea game, and yhe Liverpool 3-0, even going back to Potter and what, at the time seemed like a really important 1-0 against Leeds, the best moments were the interactions between squad and fans afterwards. Its just nasty inconguousness. My poor old dad...
