Death or the gladioli!

Not impressed with EtH so far?A football team, yes.
Hardly impressive though.
Relative to where we were a few months ago it's definitely at least a bit impressive. Our passing movement is on a completely new level. Players are far more confident in possession and work the ball so much better. It's a promising start and wins like tonight against an Everton team that hadn't lost in 7 games show that there is already a much stronger resolve in the team. It's great to see.A football team, yes.
Hardly impressive though.
I am impressed with his pragmatism. Didn't expect it.Not impressed with EtH so far?
So you are impressed a bit then?I am impressed with his pragmatism. Didn't expect it.
The turnaround was quick and needed after Brighton and Brentford.
I was thinking this the first half. When was the last time we’d go to somewhere like Everton and actually be confident, on the front foot and having so many numbers forward dominating the ball.say it quietly
NooooooooooHonestly never thought out defence could play out from the back like that.
Looks like Lindelof could have a future here after all
Aye there’s clearly improvement there.We are getting much better at moving the ball faster and short passing first time passes is a lot better.
That's the thing for me. We haven't had that character and steel for a long, long time. Players are actually putting a shift in and fighting.We're starting to have a little bit of character and fight about us (City game apart). That's what we needed first and foremost. The rest will follow when Erik gets his ideas fully across to the players.
Even Degea looking decent at his new sweeper role. Cleaned up a few times, not complete panick in possession
Helps with a midfield in front and ball playing defenders
Our final pass has been awful in our recent games, not least today and on Thursday. The low was Fred against Sociedad.Yes , slowly. The whole Casemiro made a mistake or Dalot made a mistake aren't actual "mistakes" technically. I mean ofcourse it gets punished but that's us trying to be a footballing team. Quick passes to team mates gets intercepted or gets dispossessed before even trying to make a pass - these things would get better. We are more aggressive with the ball now.
My only complaint is , our chance creation in the final phase should be better. We aren't creating enough but that will take time. The constant injuries aren't helping either.
Oh come on! Let him have one good game.Noooooooooo
In this country, you gotta make the mentality first. Then when you get the mentality, you get the football. Then when you get the football, then you get the trophies.Not yet. First things first, let us create a good mentality first. Then comes the football, then come the results and then come the trophies
