Great game for him except I think Lacazette should have been marked by either Bissouma or Gross. I saw them rushing back trying to get to him but were a good 15 yards behind him.
i didn't see gross rushing back
I thought Bissouma was head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch tonight...including Arsenal ...I’ll take my blue n white specs off shortly
Gross and Bissouma were both caught the wrong side.
That they couldn't get back, is excusable. Saka is quick. Though, there's a strong argument we should be playing a holding midfielder (I expect it would be White) as we're not covering these runners from midfield at the moment
i didn't see gross rushing back
Webby had a view of his run, wasn't marking anyone else. Why didn't he go to him?
You won’t.......ever
You could say the same for Dunk, couldn't you?
Effort is Gross' thing. Running is, but he's just not capable of rushing aka sprinting.
Don't think so. This was on Webster's side, he was much closer to Lacazette than Lewis
Nope. Dunk was much closer to Lacazette.
There is a bit of a theme on NSC to finger Webster when he's not culpable. On this:
-- I'm not identifying you, it's a general thing
-- I'm not saying one of the defensive three is necessarily culpable. They all stood there in a line. At least one of them should have got out to block the shot. None of them did. If I was forced to pick one of them out on this, I'd plump for Dunk.
Have a look again. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
