I thought Maddison could have had a better debut. I’d like to see him demanding the ball more. But it looks like the first few weeks have focused on the build up from the back, before we start working more on the attacking phase.How did Maddison and Kane combine?
Worth mentioning that this back line has literally never played together before.
My early prediction is that i'm going to find Solomon a really frustrating player.
Well, most of the play and should have had two. They look dangerous on the break and could score from any set piece. We know our defence isn't right, so focusing on the attacking play, it's night and day from last season.Going by updates in here it sounds like we've been well on top. Is that correct?
This is good. The style, patterns and intent is all there whilst also affirming what we all know about the defence. If Ange wanted to wait for a match scenario before making his mind up on the defenders thankfully it’s only taken 45 minutes to show him what he needed to know. Hopefully we can crack on with the clear out and the recruitment now.View attachment 129065
9 shots, 5 SOG, 71% possession, 172 passes and 92% pass accuracy. In one half!
Just ignore the scoreline lol
he's demanding it.. the others aren't releasing it earlier enough though.. it'll get there with familiarityI thought Maddison could have had a better debut.
