Recurring theme between the last 2 games... If your back 4 is significantly weakened; the attack needs to step up to the plate.
(Vice versa if your attacking is ravaged by injury.)

Recurring theme between the last 2 games... If your back 4 is significantly weakened; the attack needs to step up to the plate.
(Vice versa if your attacking is ravaged by injury.)
Ange needs to start calling out the refs accountable in his press conferences. This nice guy stuff just means the cowardly refs feel free to make calls against us - cause they know they won’t be called out for it. Don’t think Ange’s tactics are naive but his undeserved respectful treatment towards the refs is 100% naive
Plus we won games with the Kane/Son combination sometimes working miracles ... and the more important half of that has gone.
We were missing 5 starters and 4 last week.... And have now just lost Bentancur again after 30mins.
Why bend the truth to our dis-service?
In tough times, we need to be resolute; not unfairly dish out extra shit.
Oh, you are just the essence of wit, made flesh
Not to give a pen and a red for the elbow on gill is disgusting .
Who were the 5 first choice 11 starters that were injured in our starting 11 today?
Yes maybe...but we don't and we are not are we ??Why have a plan B when plan A is so good?
With Harry(or any decent striker) and another decent CB in this team we would be ripping teams apart!!
I terms of performance in general; he's still somewhat carrying his newbie-pass, BUT if what you describe is true; it simply can't continue....... He's young, pacey and athletic.... He should be eating up the yardage to impress his new gaffa.
Romero (suspended)
Bissouma (suspended)
Van de Ven (injured)
Maddison (Injured)
Sarr (injured)
Romero & Bissouma are not injured. If you want to actually read my original post, I clearly referring to injured players, not suspended
Injured or banned matters not; "Missing" is missing.
By the 30 min mark we were missing:
Romero
VDV
Biss
Sarr
Benta
Maddison
And playing our 6th choice winger (Gil) cos we have 3 wingers injured too.
Moan about CBs; fine.... but the rest is bollocks.
At last - one of your rare, sensible posts. Hopefully we'll get another one before the year's out.
The guy you quoted never said injured in the first place you melt.
But for clarification, those were the five starters we were missing today incase you needed more clarification.
Or would you like them again?
This is not going to be an enjoyable season,……….
well I’ll make a bold statement it will be a helluva better a season than the last two and that’s including qualifying for the champions league ……
Sonny saying we need to control games better. He was disappointed at conceding before half time from a set piece.
haaland alone is 4 inches taller then davies and emerson pray romero is back

Agreed. We outplayed Villa for a lot of that game, IMO the backups weren't the problem, even the defence wasn't really that big of a problem, I don't think we conceded many more changes than we usually do, but the forwards, who weren't backups, missed countless chances which is inexcusable.
We might be the least clinical team in the league right now.
