I thought in Europe he was more about sharp passing than hitting on the break.Can you name anything else that Ole sets us up well to do other than playing a counter ? We are one of the most one dimensional sides in recent years.
We’re playing a diamond today?Diamond works against Leipzig we proceed to use it the very next fixture and the team looks disoriented. Its a result of changing the tactical approach based on the opposition too much rather than building a system that is able to excel individual players. That's why we lack consistency.
We’re lucky to be level. What do you mean??Laughable
There's no forward option so who can he pass to? He does the triangles to give players time to move up the pitch.He’s looked to create a triangle with every pass basically slowing up our play. Needs to open up His body and move it forward
Yeah we rested a few players and still look like shit.Arsenal played Thursday, but didn't they rest most of their team. It does make a difference.
But strolling around like there is no urgency does.League position at such stage of the season means nothing.
I would certainly agree with that assessment.We’re playing a diamond today?
For once I can express my gratitude to Mike dean...by blowing early he spared us from watching more of our shiteMike Dean: stops play for an injury.
Also Mike Dean: adds no stoppage time for injuries.
I get that, however, he has shown composure on the ball, the shape that has been adopted to accommodate both him and Bruno isn't working because McT is drifting into the middle.No we’ve just changed a team shape which performs better to bring Pogba in, so we need him as one of the most talented players in Europe to stamp some authority on the game. That’s all. Well within his capabilities.
Wearing the countenance of a bemused gnome.I cant believe ole sat on his ass for 45minutes and watched that play out.
Pleased with the aggression and commitment... but it's all bark and no bite so far. I/we can still feel a typical sucker punch coming our way in the second half. That will hurt....Any Arse fans on happy with what they've seen so far?
Have to be honest that’s the first time I got angry with Ole.I cant believe ole sat on his ass for 45minutes and watched that play out.
I can.I cant believe ole sat on his ass for 45minutes and watched that play out.
Yeah no idea why he hasn't swapped Fred & McTominay's positions because clearly isn't working,alternatively take off Scott and bring on Matic before the game has goneNot sure why Ole has swapped Fred and McT. Fred his a pressing machine and has the energy to cover the wide areas. He should be on the right, whilst McT should be at the base.
Also, Bruno is giving us no tactical discipline at all. I get that he wants the ball, but sometimes sticking to a position is more effective.
This game is there for us to win if we make some minor changes. Not a good watch at the moment, though.
Disagree. Look at his zoning and marking of the runners. He's been almost flawless.Partey has been alright but I don’t think he’s been as amazing as the commentators are making it out to be..
Hardly. Arsenal's lack of finishing is keeping us in the game. Fred is one foul away from a red card and McTominay looks completely lost out there.We would conceded very quickly, they are keeping us in the game at the moment.
Don’t blame him as he done us all a favour by not adding on any stoppage time to that dire 1st 45Mike Dean: stops play for an injury.
Also Mike Dean: adds no stoppage time for injuries.
