Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
This game is made for Ozil. No tackling, lots of space... he loves these games.
We just look like a team lacking creativity down the middle. Nothing new and can only be solved via the transfer window (or a massive rethink re: Ozil )

Yeah....... very cautious and cagey but still give the ball away too many times
TBH Brighton have looked more dangerous
Arteta needs to wake this lot out of there malaise.....

Not a good first half performance at all - in my opinion that is because auba cannot play the number 9 link up role like laca can. We have no focal point on which to base our attacks. Auba's brilliance is based around his individualism, but our young attacking trio need a player to feed off.
If arteta has balls here he brings in laca for auba. What I am expecting to see is laca for smith-rowe

Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
Ozil on a bad day is better than anyone out there tonight. But this team is not equipped to host an Ozil. To have an Ozil in there you have to have a really strong powerful DM and a striker with the guile to get in behind onto those passes Ozil could create.
His time has gone really. We need to buy in a creator until we see if Smith-Rowe will develop and tbh I have major doubts about Smith-Rowe.....

It’s absolute dogshit - only Tierney has actually taken on his player and put in a decent cross.rodders999 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:45 pmSideways sideways backwards sideways and all at a fucking snails pace
No intensity at all, so fucking boring
We are lucky to be at 0-0
Why are we not having a right go at them ?

You know for all the calls for Boomerang to play through the middle I think he is more effective and lethal out wide.....augie wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:54 pmNot a good first half performance at all - in my opinion that is because auba cannot play the number 9 link up role like laca can.

Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
I think you're right what you say about Auba. He's not good with the link up role whereas Laca does it better but Laca's a donkey in front of goal so there's a compromise either way.augie wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:54 pmNot a good first half performance at all - in my opinion that is because auba cannot play the number 9 link up role like laca can.

Let's hope Arteta injects some enthusiasm into them for the second half.

Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
Bellerin receives the ball in the right back position, rushes to the half way line, stops, turns, and passes it backwards every fucking time
Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
Thats his option, i would also bring on AMN for Bellerin who offers nothing, not even his paceaugie wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:54 pmNot a good first half performance at all - in my opinion that is because auba cannot play the number 9 link up role like laca can.

That was a very shit half. It looks like the ponderous crap that we have all grown to love from Arteta-ball.
While we are crap - please spare a thought for Fat Sam: 4-0 at half-time.

Auba has been woeful and I agree that should be the change he makes.augie wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:54 pmNot a good first half performance at all - in my opinion that is because auba cannot play the number 9 link up role like laca can.

The other thing to say is that it is an absolute dream for a team like Brighton to see Elneny and Xhaka slow every single attack to a snail's pace, take two extra touches, turn backwards and allow all 10 players to get back into their starting position. How Partey and a new creative attacking midfielder are missed in games like this
Suffice to say Bellerin has been absolutely ***** again but he is allowed to do it every week without consequence so nothing new or surprising there
Re: Brighton bawbags A Tues 29th Dec KO 6pm
I hate the sidewards and backwards passing as much as the next man, and the slow tempo does my fcuking head in, but to play it forward quicker we need a striker to hit early - it isnt just about slating our midfield or defence for our slow play

We will likely see Wellbeck and possibly Maupay around 70 mins......
