We change 10 players, get 90 minutes out of Marmoush and Cherki, great goals for both. Cherki MOTM by a mile, good run outs for Ait Nouri and Khus. Only negative was Bobb's performance.Hopefully Cherki's fit for weekend.
Its all a bit strange. Imagine if we had a manager who lost 5 domestic games on the trot.
or one that can only play one way, doesnt use his assets to the best of their ability, produces boredom for 90% of a game and whose team stats have been getting worse for 2 seasons. Haaland is keeping our guy in a job. Scousers won it last season because we were utter shite for the most part
He obviously plays more than one way, the Arsenal game proved that as with the change from Ederson in goal.
The boredom for 90% is laughable when we've scored more than everyone this season.
The stats were only worse last season, the season before we got more points than the treble season and this season we're on for more points than last.
We've got the same goals as Tottenham in the PL but leaked more than double that of Arsenal. Course its still early days .
Our record last year was horrendous yet we scraped third.
We lead the prem on passes per game but we are scared to shoot or convert into goals. Anyone happy with our slow play is no problem to me but its bad to watch and not what i like to watch. Swansea scored an absolute world class goal last night, no problem with it but how much space did we give them to pass and shoot. We were nowhere near closing him down. Over the past few seasons our defence has been shaky and Pep despite having some good defenders can't organise them. his attitude towards switching players around is poor and fullback position is a joke. Both Left back and now right back have been a joke in the past
Tottenham do have the same goals as us but from far fewer shots - we are just wasteful in the final third because our build-up is so fuckign shit and predictable.
Full-back scenario ( as you quite rightly point out ) is a fuckign joke and has been for longer than I care to remember, Ait-Nouri looked completely lost ffs !
One thing Ill agree on is that getting rid of Pep now risks complete chaos ( anymore embarrassing losses and ill take my chances with that ) but if anyone thinks the football we are playing is comparable to the top teams in Europe then your living in cuckoo land.
