so the fact that we make at least 4 slow passes out of defence before the ball crosses the halfway line has nothing to do with it? Blame the visitors.
Rooney will get a hattrick
yep. I thought he would stay out wide to get passes allowing him to either cut inside,like the old days, or cross to our striker(s). But no the prat decided to 'mark' their defender 10m from the touchline. So balls to him were few and those that tried saw him cut out easily by the giant defender. His pace might be slower, but his brain has gone walkabout.
Yep, but Lord knows we can't handle pressure. Last year away at Everton we are comfortably leading 1-0 and top of the table or thereabouts, then throw the lead away in the second half once the fans started to heat up and get behind the home team
That's why I think these 2 games will be an acid test for the team. Come through them unscathed and we can start putting a decent season ahead of us before NOVEMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRgggghhh
I just don't understand how that's possible. He's a professional athlete playing one intense match a week. Some of the other strikers have no problem playing 90 mins after being involved in additional midweek matches, so why is Lacazette struggling so much more? He may not be as physically capable as some of the other players but he isn't, or at least shouldn't, be asked to scrap with defenders all game anyways. Even if he is visibly tiring, it's natural, all players slow down a little. I still reckon he's going to do best with a chance if it presents itself.
Fair enough, maybe calling him out on having favorites is harsh here, but I still feel he's trying too hard to accommodate players evenly. Thus far Lacazette has delivered what we expect of him, so why is he being rotated around so much? It feels like things are being overcomplicated.
