Next week it'll be Gravy (who was excellent tonight) and Macca (who is excellent) and Wirtz ahead of them (time for him to start paying his return installments). That'll be tough on Dom but he got my MotM based on his RB performance.
WTF has happened to him. I'd put Guehi in ahead of him atm.
There’s no way Dom gets dropped against Arsenal.
What do you mean yikes if true. This is what I don't get about statistics. How could you be more alarmed about anything that you already watched.
there was a foot race between him and tonali early in the game and he did not look impressive. as far as i was aware ibou was quick and tonali was average?
Yeh he stays at RB for sure, Macca just comes in for Jones
Truthfully I misread it and thought that somehow it was 61% of our xG this season, not just tonight.
And fair enough either way. We don't look right, despite the six points to start the season.
Bradley could be ready for next week? Szobo did well, but I'd rather play him in a position he's more suited to. Hard to know who to drop from midfield, could make a good argument it should be Wirtz.
We had a few excellent performances (Ali, VvD, Gravy, Ekitike) three that were so-so; Jones who I thought did really well at times but then let himself down and Wirtz who runs like Dom and connects the play (but then gives it away instead of laying it off - you can't beat 3 men in the PL, he'll learn) and Kerkez until that goal was doing fine (although anyone would struggle up against Elanga's pace) and then a handful that were abysmal (Gakpo, Salah, Konate).
You can't carry 3 playing poorly and disrupting everything we tried to do - and it was 10 vs 10 because Salah was mostly nowhere to be seen so we lost the numerical advantage because we struggled to get through their 4-5 across with one player nowhere in sight.
it should be but slot won’t do it. i suppose you could argue a game of football might break out against arsenal so could be a game for wirtz.
Not athletic enough enough in my book.
You're mistaking Mo for Dom.
We’ve scored 7 goals in two games. I don’t need XG Yg or zig
Little family away trip, driving during the match.
Saw score 90min 2-2 just dejected.
Loooled hard at 3-2 especially as I saw a guy in a Newcastle top a min before at the hotel.
I think i said after the Bournemouth game
We just cant keep doing this.
Sign a defender, shore up the midfield.
Keep some flipping clean sheets ffs

We've got about 4 new starting players and adjusting to a different system, the vice captain fucked off to Madrid after running his contract down, our 2nd most effective attacker wasn't replaced yet and a hugely popular player in the squad died in a car crash. Of course we don't look right ffs
i love robbo but i think he would’ve struggled against elanga and probably made a different set of mistakes. i’m kind of surprised kerkez has started every match though
Absolute hubris. They had it. 2-2 would have been an Everton victory for them.
