My take on the game

Defence - Was excellent except for individual mistake from kepa. I wouldn't blame Christensen tackle on mane. It was one for the team.

Midfield - Average. Jorginho was very poor in attack and defence. Kante ran the show for us and kova did ok.

Attack - average except for werner who was excellent. Some good runs by havertz and mount.

Tactics - piss poor by lamps. His set up is half hearted. Either you press as a team when u play highline or defend deep and release runners as a team. Christensen send off was bcos we didn't press them and henderson was able to pick mane with ease and we played high line. Also playing mount in a wing role and playing jorginho against a quick team is extremely poor thought process and a school boy error. Frank really needs to ball up and make some calls tactically. I know we are missing players. But selecting jorginho in mf was a tactical error which carried for the entire Match.

We need to bring mount in midfield. His work rate is wasted on the wings and jorginho cannot play against any press. And he is no Fabregas to ping passes from deep. Better if we sell him or loan him to Italy as his speed is an issue in epl. Mount offers a lot from midfield. He can receive balls in tight space and run on the turn which is needed in the midfield. He and kova can rotate. We need someone to replace kante when he needs rest. that's something lacking in the squad along with a right wing back up. Ampadu offered the df solution. But we loaned him now. Hope we fix these 2 positions before window closes. I think perisic would be a good cover for rw.

{Ed0666's Note - great post mate but did you really think Werner was excellent. He was nullified to a large degree by an auxillary center back.

I’m with you on that Matt. I really don’t see the fuss about Kovacic.

I can't understand why you think Kanté ran the show? He couldn't get the ball forward good enough and his passing isn't good enough. He is a brilliant defensive midfielder but we clearly should not play him as a CM, he doesn't have any creativity.
I can't understand the reason why Lamps still uses him that why, perhaps we lack another good midfielder to play a 2 man pivot but I hope we don't see Kanté out of position again.

2 goals and less than 10 assists in two years, has some brilliant games where he wins everything dribbles and passes well, but him jorginho and kante in same midfield off absolutely zero. Think today was 110 passes between them and only 14 went to any of the front 3, maybe if we’re going to play havertz out of position play him as CM,

I have two players that completely does my head in and it hey CHO and Mount.

I think the CHO thing is just me worrying he is going to waste his talent. My Mount issue is probably not
his fault because I see him as a No 10 and Lamps, I’m now convinced, will never play him there.

Hi ed0666, Yes I still think werner was awesome. Fabinho was man marking him and in my view is a good defensive mid. Yet he created 2-3 chances of his own. A near goal in first half, releasing havertz early for a counter, penalty on his own. Problem was our creativity was lacking in the midfield and he had a bad service. Yet he was as good as mane in my eyes. Mane fashioned chances with support from team mates. But werner did most of the hard work on his own. My take is he would get even better with every match and once havertz moves central and ziyech/ pulisic are on the wings. Would love to talk to you in 3 months on your views about him.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m sure our conversation in 3 months will be a complimentary one about Werner. I’m not doubting he’s a super player just glad we didn’t make such an expensive investment for a sub.
