TBH I'd rather see one flick send someone into space on a promising break than Adebayor chest the ball touch it 10+ times before deciding to pass it backwards for the whole match.Sorry, if you think 3 flicks a match is enough for a 25m centre forward, you're totally deluded. He doesn't occupy centre halves in any way. The two Besiktas lads couldn't have had an easier game.
Ryan Mason of Nottingham Forest says hello...
Given we changed every outfield player I don't see how we ran out of steam so badly. The last 15-20 mins we were camped on the edge of our box, holes everywhere and couldn't string two passes together. Fitness an issue?
It's a squad game mate. Our second string should have enough to get us through this group and if we played the same 11 today as we will on Sunday then Southampton would beat us. Look where AVB got us by playing the same 11 in both competitions.
Heart issues I believe iirc
Didn't get much service to be honest. Had to drop deaper to get a touch.Soldado's touch map is appalling. Didn't touch the ball in the box.
Why were we not in for Demba Ba?
£7 million ffs
Loads of dislikes but I am repeating it.I am not giving Lloris MOTM. I am getting pissed off with his kicking and never, ever getting near a penalty. He just fucking stood there.
And the spaces and gaps he was running into without getting any service (AGAIN). Give it up mate, its no point arguing with some, they will only see what they want to see.Really?
How many of the little one touch flicks started our best attacks? at least 5
Does it occur to you that the reason that every time he plays there is no supply because every time the ball goes near him in the build up, he gets bullied off it by the centre backs? He doesn't offer any runs behind the defence any more, if he ever did. Everything is static. It's just not good enough, and we look a poorer side with him as the spearhead.yeah, completely anonymous as it was clear he had tons and tons supply and opportunities given to him by the rest of the team.... Funny though, Kane didn't really see that much and Ade's only contribution was defending..... the Besiktas goal
I swear to fucking God, that some people just don't watch the game at all.
I will say in defense of Paulinho tonight he shouldn't have been played on either wing. Why Poch did that I will never know. He should be central, whether that's behind the striker or deeper I'm still not certain. But, should never have been placed on the wing whatsoever.
Poor from Les there. You can't touch the ball in the box if nobody is able to give it to you in the box.
You're deluded, he did more In that match than Ades done for the last few.Sorry, if you think 3 flicks a match is enough for a 25m centre forward, you're totally deluded. He doesn't occupy centre halves in any way. The two Besiktas lads couldn't have had an easier game.
