Why’s Alcaraz wide left btw? We have 3 attacking mids, 2 can play wide, 1 can’t, and the one who can’t… is out wide.

This is why Moyes is a decorated premier league manager and you’re in the peanut gallery throwing shade. Or something like that.

in an ocean of misses, some will stick out as the high tide mark occasionally.

He didn't miss it though. He couldn't reach the ball that was ahead of him.

garner fouled by foden, FK us. is ok.

Only ahead of him because he got his strides completely wrong. You’d have destroyed Dom for that.

Myko is getting cooked

 

[Efcjake]

Nah it's just that it was crap mate. Mostly decent strikers wouldn't have needed to stretch and make hard work out of an easy tap in.

They would have used telepathy to put the ball where they needed it to be played so they could hit it like the superhumans they are.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Can't accuse of sitting back which is good to see

 

[irishtony1878]

Anyone. He is so bad

When we have an improvement on him, I'll agree with you, until then, we are stuck with him.

 

[ElGato]

Bit passive off the ball in the middle third but growing into the game.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Noticing Beto is putting himself about a bit more. Even if he's not getting to the headers, he's barging in an making the CB uncomfortable

 

[Rita_Poon]

He wouldn't have had to stretch if he could play football.

He would have been ready to slot it in.

a run a half yard to his left and it's into his stride. it's a quite miraculous chance gone.

 

[Efcjake]

He would have been ready to slot it in.

I didn't see him start the run, just the ball being ahead of him so I can't pass judgement on that.

Tbf don’t think it as bad as on first viewing

He has the timing and anticipation of a wood pigeon.

Fair enough Jake, we move on, he slots the next.

He should score there. If he held his run straight, he would have scored. The angle of his run puts him too far away from it.

But it's not as bad as some are making out.
