Besides being up we look dull

      Defensively amazing except that one mess up from Raya. Midfield has been okay, but really lacking the progressive passing from everyone which is really making our attack stink.

    Good thing is now we will have a lot more opportunity on the counter. Good away performance going in 1-0 HT when we haven’t created a lot

    Rice has a slight reluctance to push forward into the left 8. I think Rice’s best position is as a holding 6 anyway. He’s an absolute monster of a DM. Tomi is often pushing into that spot instead. It just shows how badly we are missing Xhaka. I think we need to sell the injury-plagued Partey in January and get a PROPER left CM, not some fucking versatile Havertz wannabe. Also, can I yet again file another missing persons report for Odegaard??? Our captain goes missing yet again… Tottenham, City, Chelsea etc. Very poor

    Dominated the first 15 mins, Martinelli had a superb chance to make it 1-0 but shot into the keeper unfortunately

    Dropped off a lot until the goal

    Overall, not a bad first half, hope we get a second to make things more comfy and we can start to sub off some key players to rest em

    Better performance than Lens away. Seville didnt create much, most of their chances came from mistakes. Would love to see Vieira instead of Odegaard, he is invisible yet again. Dont knoe what’s going on with him but he just cant create anything

    Too many lackluster performances this season. Something is just not right. They need to sort it

    we dont come up against deep blocks each game, we create that opponent with our play and attitude.

    we are so unbelievably one paced and gutless that even when the space is on we slow it down to get the horseshoe going. then we get to watch the front 5 stand static.

    if you want to watch Dyche in the CL, here you go. where 95% of the focus is defensively and the only players allowed to play passes that ask questions are the fullbacks. this mentality we are playing with is rotten.

    it’s no surprise players like odegaard jorginho and raya can’t complete a pass because our play has had its balls clipped of belief and intent. most of our passes forward are in doubt.

    we’re leading but this rant is about our play this season.

      He has looked our best attacker - Saka looks well off, not 100% convinced he isnt still carrying an injury

      He’s being left alone 100%. Tomi made some forward runs in the early stages, but other than that he has been 3v1 at least for the whole game.

    We’re still not good but 4-4 fackin 2 is the way forward with this squad. Can’t believe I’m saying this but Ødegaard off for Havertz is the move here.
