We need another new winger. A kudus who can take his man on. Solomun needs to startColour me unconvinced by the front 3. Son and Kulu are not playing how Ange wants his wingers to play and both are not beating their man whatsoever.
Nah… best football management material that!I’d wait. But then I’m just a clueless guy sitting in the pub.
Absolutely, when you have them penned in and are passing it across in front of them for twenty mins you need positive movement in front of you.Richarlison is working hard, but he's not in the game. The front 3 need to do more, imo
He needs to be playing centrally now. He’s lost his pace entirely and looks reluctant to take on players. Needs to just fall back on his finishing now. It’s precisely what Ronaldo did and it extended his career at the top.Sonny is wasted wide on the wing
Concussion though the concussion sub wasn't used. Clash of heads with Mbuemo before he scored a header, but he looked out of it in the celebration huddle.Not watching but I see Romero has been subbed. Was it a knock or something more serious?
Priority for me is a touchline winger. Richy and Sonny can't score if they don't have chances. Bring in a winger, Orban and a CB and we are good to go.To finish in the top 8 this season, we'll need a minimum 30 goals (maybe even 40) from the starting front 3 attackers. It doesn't matter what system Son, Richarlison and Kulusevski have played in over the last year: they've been completely lacking when it comes to end product.
Aside from a striker, the club should take a long look at a goal scoring versatile wing-forward. Olmo or Kudus would both be good fits for this system.

I feel like we could do Gio for Skipp then when Maddison starts to fade (which will happen as with a number of players) bring on Sarr.Agree but not than Lo Celso altho having gio and Maddison both on is obvs even more gung ho
Head clash early. Was allowed to continue. Scored a header and looked dizzy. So Ange did the right thing and took him offNot watching but I see Romero has been subbed. Was it a knock or something more serious?
then what's his role against 7 man boxes? afraid the answer won't please some.Sonny is wasted wide on the wing
Yep. Kulu for me was poor in particular. Perhaps because he had more of the ball (which in itself is actually a positive vs Son/Richi).The 3 up top need to wake up
Possible concussion. Clashed heads with Mbuemo about a minute before he scored and he did not look all there.Not watching but I see Romero has been subbed. Was it a knock or something more serious?
To be fair to him, I don’t think there’s any instruction or part of Ange’s system that wants it played up to Richy’s feet with his back to goal (ie what we see as a traditional #9). Defintely work to be done to work out how to get him involved and effectivePlayers look a bit nervous and the shape isnt completely right so far. Also massively missing a proper CF here as Richarlison just not doing anything atm.
We need to attack quicker as they keep regaining their shape before we can create anything.
Have you seen Spence play? If you had you would not have said what you have.Just as we have the context that Dier could be an okay alternative in the middle of back three under a deep sitting defence I think the same goes for Emerson with three defenders behind him in a deep block. Great goal, but his good defensive play only works when he has the ball in front of him.
Could Spence be an alternative with his recovery pace?
I don't recall a pass landing in his favour though. The forward play is still, unless Madds gets it, very flat and slow. A couple of balls played in behind him also.Richarlison looks totally lost up there. Has no idea how to get himself into the game.
We are so obviously going to need to buy a goal threat before the window closes.
