Bolded part my takeaway too.
Against Villa, West Ham and Newcastle we played wonderfully through defence and MF and got our wide players on the ball a lot.
In this game, we really committed opposing full-backs and finally went on the outside instead of cutting into the congested area consistently. First 2 goals came from that.
There’s defo space in this squad for a wide player that can beat his full back both ways. He was never flavour of the month of this forum but a younger version of Zaha would thrive the amount of times we give wide players the ball in one on one situations (a Hazard type even better of course).
The final version of this side is going to be phenomenal.
Putting BJ on the right wing was not a master stroke. That is his natural and best position and the reason we bought him. He has only been played on the left because Son was playing striker and Solomon and Perisic are both injured.
With wing play being important in our system a penalty box player is important. Son is not that player but Richy is.
Richarlison's 2nd goal was through the keepers legs too.
I think there was 4 or
Is the move of deki away from wing part of this? He slows it down a lot out wide
My take-away was how the play was a lot more spread; whereas when Kulu is on the right everything seems to go down that side.
Too predictable = you don't stretch the play.
Didn’t see or hear anything mate. The Geordies had a horrendous journey home (engineering work north of Peterborough or some such nonsense). Might have found a free night in the cells preferable to schlepping home …
To be fair, the fella I heard on the train was so drunk he could hardly sit on his seat without holding on.
There's a few on here making a name for themselves for the same reason ...
Not necessarily, I think he can still be an asset there and I don’t see him dislodging Maddison when he returns.
I just think that sort of player is so important for us in this system…..
I agree but I think we need a CF like Awoniyi or someone like him. Richarlison (imo) just hasn't got that extra flair that will push us to the top. Ollie Watkins would be good too.
Who are We getting to replace Ricky in jan?
In an alt. universe he's still here and at 27 is only just about to enter his prime.
Surreal.

No one to change or upgrade forwards immediately in my guess.
and that’s ok with me.
