If I've learned anything from this match:

Pepe and Ozil cannot play in the same team.

You can't have 2 players who don't cover enough defensive ground.

In the early matches I thought Pepe was slow because he wasn't up to speed, but it isn't that. He tracks back only when he wants to.

And the fact they're both (Pepe & Ozil) kinda occupying the right hand side has left Maitland-Niles exposed.

And Maitland-Niles is not a full back, and he keeps making and taking touches you can't make in that position.

And Sokratis + Luis are not good under pressure when MN loses the ball.

It's a fukking domino effect of errors.

I think we're gonna be OK.

We look better shifting from side-to-side out of possession.

Just need to stop playing out of the back and we'll be fine in this game.
