Cheating on Santi
Welbeck, seriously?
- Think he’ll stay with Cech against Chelsea whilst work on Leno continues.
- Mustafi, Sokratis
- Nacho should be fit, would solidify our left.
- Lichsteiner at right back to give us even more solidity in defence and maybe even some decent crosses.
- Emery will probably choose 2 from Torreira, Xhaka and Guendouzi as we’re playing away to give us a more defensive structure. Probably leave out Guendouzi.
- Mikhi, Ramsey Özil
- Auba/Laca sub
Could do with something like that.Leno
Bellerin - Sokratis - Musti - Lichts
Douzi - Torreira
Ramsey - Özil - PEA
Laca
Worrying news. Jenkinson out for six to eight weeks.
He came back at the start of last week, but he rejoined the rest of the group in full training in the last couple of days.Where has Monreal been anyway, not actually seen anything about him?
Uhm, the same applies for Cech, who even though is a PL legend, has been regressing for about a year and a half and some of the passes he was making against City shows that he's not gonna get any better.Don't forget that Leno is not some world class player but actually a player who once had potential but coming from Bayern Leverkusen after bad season! So it might take time to build up his confidence again.
Thats his competency, he's a great goal saver and can deal with the physicality of PL defenders. But he isn't a ball player and if thats the way Emery wants to play then he should choose Leno. Also doesn't help that our defenders can't think of anything to do with the ball other than pass it back. Didn't I read something about Cech having the second highest no. of touches. Our team should try and use the last defender as a fulcrum and not the goalie, who should be the last resort really.Cech has become such a mixed bag. One moment he's making incredibly risky passes to team mates under pressure and the next he's making a save that keeps you in the game, so to speak.
You don't even know what to do with this guy anymore.
