Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[SubZeroDegrees]

Have Xhaka defending the middle instead of Luca brehs.

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

Firmino and Mane have insane touch.

 

[The axe murderer]

Liverpool putting on a CLINIC

 

[BlackAchilles]

Need to sort out the back end and keep the ball from lingering in front of Leno

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Trent needs to take on a defender and push forward, he's just been standing there with the ball at his feet.

Firmino the wizard

I'll give you the last two, but how can you say the Glazers/Woodward aren't willing to spend when they dropped 145 Million on three players this window? They just happen to be idiots that don't know what they're doing with the money.

Ceballos has been good for us over the past two games, but he needs to understand that you can't play with the ball in the final third like that against Liverpool. It'll hurt you badly if you do it enough times. And will somebody do something about the right wing/channel? Arsenal's getting destroyed out there.

65 mil this season.
45 mil last season.

Average net spend for the Glazers is ~70 mil per season.

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Sokratis was so focussed on van Dijk he couldn't prevent Matip's header

Also in the last few minutes Virgil just caught the ball and put it down with his hands, was there a minor free-kick for some reason?

 

[Kwabena]

Pepe should've scored

 

[TrueEpic08]

Could've been worse. We actually ended up with a decent look or two at goal that half.

Now if we could do something about our vulnerability on the wings, stop talking so long to make decisions with the ball in our third and in the midfield, and possibly sub out Xhaka for Torreira, then we might have something.

 

[TrueEpic08]

It's only around 50m net spend. This window and the one before (only Fred and Dalot came in).

Fellaini <> James
Lukaku <> Maguire
Wan Bissaka - 50m

Midfield was trash and on top of that Hererra was lost on a free and Matic is done.

Sanchez was supposed to leave too but who knows now with Martial's injury.

Figured that was what you meant.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

We haven’t done too badly. It’s hurts to concede that goal but Klopp has made Anfield a fortress. Put Laca on for the second half. We can definitely salvage a draw.

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

Genuine tactical question: Why would you set up in a narrow diamond against a team that regularly scores from crosses into the box? What's the trade-off that Emery expects to get from such tactics?

I think last time a lot of their goals came down the middle. He rather let Liverpool play on the wings than let them play neatly in the middle. It creates mismatches out wide but he hopes we have numbers in the middle.


Ceballos gotta come off no? I was shytting on Xhaka and Guendouzi but I would take him off.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Take off Xhaka, move Cellabos to his position, and put Lacazette on the wing.

 

[naijaboi]

I would toss Guendouzi for Laca and move Auba wide. Move Ceballos further upfield
