Quote from: SimonDaviesEnjoyer on August 30, 2026, 02:11:32 PMNot a lot to shout about so far.

Been garbage so far...

I thought we were meant to be all about the high press?

Not seen any pressing so far.

SerbianLad · August 30, 2026, 02:14:14 PM

That was really good from Palacios

DevonFFC · August 30, 2026, 02:14:20 PM

Be nice to string a pass together and maybe see a man find some space

SimonDaviesEnjoyer · August 30, 2026, 02:14:37 PM

Nice from Cesar.

Trusty Steed · August 30, 2026, 02:15:10 PM

Palacios is everywhere, he's got free roam

Walham Green 2 up on Brighton after 12 mins.

nice ball from bassey, but then it cycled right back to the defence

Milo · August 30, 2026, 02:16:52 PM

This "pass it out from the back" concept against a high press away from home is an accident waiting to happen

Milo · August 30, 2026, 02:17:52 PM

Not sure how Arbeloa was expecting this game to go but it's not going how he thought it would.

FFC007 · August 30, 2026, 02:17:55 PM

First twenty minutes akin to Parkerball...

Sideways and backwards stuff and no penetration.

SimonDaviesEnjoyer · August 30, 2026, 02:18:23 PM

We've been sloppy so far. Sunderland look way too comfortable.

Trusty Steed · August 30, 2026, 02:20:09 PM

I feel we're going to concede soon, at least against Chelsea we're were having a go, we are showing no attacking threat whatsoever

SimonDaviesEnjoyer · August 30, 2026, 02:20:40 PM

I will say Castagne has been pretty bad so far. I'm a big fan of his but he needs to liven up.

SerbianLad · August 30, 2026, 02:21:58 PM

I think the midfield is still the biggest problem we have. Iwobi-Berge aren't good as a duo.

DevonFFC · August 30, 2026, 02:22:00 PM

Iwobi twice in 4 mins loses the ball running into someone

akf · August 30, 2026, 02:23:11 PM

about 3% of total possession so far in the game is down to the bottom of leno's boot. he is spending most of the time standing on the ball.

Concur. I wouldn't be averse to selling Iwobi to help fund a replacement.

Trusty Steed · August 30, 2026, 02:24:03 PM

I agree, Iwobi has been terrible......
Wasted free kick too

I'd like to see how he playes further up the pitch in this system. I think the problem is his position and not his quality.
