A draw at this point of time will do.
Mikel picked up a 4-4-2 today, Calafiori and Timber on either side of defensive line, Declan Rice and Partey anchoring the midfield with Martinelli and Saka on the wings. Trossard and Havertz lead the line.
We are 20 minutes into the match and Haaland has already scored one and Gundogan could have scored 2 more on any other day. City are fearless today, they have started a perfect game today and we are struggling in front of the best team in Premier league. And they are without their best player in De Bruyne.
WE need to re-group, start pressing and shed some of that fear. Thomas Partey is looking a bit lively but we need 10 more lively players on the pitch.
There’s still 70 odd minutes to go. Lets work towards a point at least.
“Watts has explained that White was not dropped for tactical reasons or any other technical decision, but just because there is some concern over his current injury status…Watts explained that White had some issues with his fitness last season, but largely played through the pain for the club”
Tony—so either I was wrong about MA’s tactical maturation or he’s up to his old “injury” tricks again…here’s hoping it’s the latter, even though I despise his child-like managerial antics
looks as if Rodri might be gone for the season, due to a knee injury he suffered yesterday…the potential impact of this on their title chances shouldn’t be underestimated, as he’s the best DM in the world and there’s a substantial dropoff between him and whomever his replacement is
New post and a frustrating one.
