Slot got exactly what he wanted out of this plan. Endo sat. Robbo overlapped. All our best ideas down the left.

Downsides are ekitike never gets the ball centrally, and is less in the game, and our midfielders aren't getting in the box when we have the ball wide as designed.

We've played quite well, but I don't see how we really add attacking threat from here. And, knowing us, that was our good half, without getting the goal.

Stop being so negative. We're unlucky not to be a couple of goals up.
 
Can anyone help gakpo understand that ...
A) on fast breaks, let wirtz or Hugo push the ball.
B) every team knows you want to cut in and shoot on your left foot ... try something on your right, you may even surprise yourself
 
Sunderlands bus-parking defence is causing us the usual problems. I think Jones instead of Endo would help us create chances from the right.

I often bring up Salah when talking about selfishness, but I’m starting to think there’s a new contender…

Gakpo mixed up his approach some. He's just not that technical or quick.
 
We are playing well , our midfielders of gravy and Macca controling the tempo of the game which we haven't always had this season , the decision making and the final ball been bad specifically from Gakpo, Salah been absent , might as well play with 10 men.

You mean he cuts in and shoots on his right. And to be fair to him, in this game, he's going on the outside and putting in left footed speculative crosses.

He's a decent player. Good 2nd choice LW. Shouldn't be first choice.
