Yesterday was 1st time we were outplayed for 90+ mins. Those games yes, we were well beaten but no one has completely outclassed us like Arsenal did yesterday. To restrict us to only 1 good chance (Gross) and Jack's header compared to the onslaught they gave our defence was something else.
Yep, first team to stop us playing through them. Very impressive. Tiredness and injuries played a part in that but no other team has done it.
And with only 49% possession.
And top of the league
Haha, that's when you play Rondo in your own penalty area.
About right apart from Dunk a 7 and I'm not sure Evan even merited a 5 if I'm being honest, although he didn't really get a decent pass all game.
Is that what they're called. They were highly entertaining.
I say The Times don't have a clue about goalkeepers. Can go with a lower mark for the other three, but Bart was very good. The odd misplaced pass, granted, but their press and organisation was probably the best we've played against under RDZ.
Neither did my "You can stick your f***ing drum up your arse..."
The second goal did appear to go straight through him. And not great for the first goal.
There were several very good saves in there. In terms of the second goal, most one-on-ones which lead to a goal involve the striker playing the ball through the keeper. In terms of the first, literally no idea what you're on about. If you want to blame anyone, it'd be whoever was supposed to be marking Jesus or, alternatively, our coaching team for not getting them to mark players. What was Bart supposed to do for that goal?
Not give the ball straight to them, leading to a corner from which they score?
He was poor dealing with the corner too
he completely flapped at the corner. That was his to claim before JPVH got his head to it
I agree with you. If de Bruyne comes back well City may run them close, but I think they’re quite a bit better than the other sides up there
Brilliant post - the benefit of keeping an open mind!
