@terryflewers@AFC_Monty_@markgoldbridge The last time that happened was Ben white against Leicester and Var intervened and disallowed the goal back then too.
@Astute_Eazy@pedroelchileno Being operated with a joystick is actually the perfect explanation… when nothing is on the line against them we saw what we can do last season at their home, I’m not blaming the team but rather saying our approach as effective as it is, has turned our players into puppets.
@Hesfivefootfour I just mentioned what I saw this game. If he does keep it up then yes it’s not a good look. He has become part of a system that deploys an orchestrated play, the ballon d’or used to be given for the most expressive player, impactful player. Last year v this is vast difference.
@YouAreMyArsenal@pedroelchileno I couldn’t agree more but what you do with that information is where I have an issue because we be doing that for the whole game and not use the info at all! As for the out of pressure yeah it does but at what cost?
@YouAreMyArsenal@ausanafc@pedroelchileno The reason I said reactive is because our style of play starts to involve risks and creative plays only when we concede. That’s why it’s reactive not because we hog the ball in all the places that can cause no danger. The current situation is Passive Football in all sense.
@YouAreMyArsenal@ausanafc@pedroelchileno What’s the point of controlling the ball or retaining the ball for 75 minutes? Caution needs to be limited to a certain level or what’s the point ?? The only reason we won is because Martinelli did Sth that isn’t controlled or orchestrated.
@ausanafc@pedroelchileno What is scary is everyone knows it and the players and the manager still don’t care… yeah we get results but seriously if this goes on I don’t see how we will win anything sadly … we have become a reactive team rather than a proactive team sadly.
@pedroelchileno We have started saying a risk averse approach as control which isn’t the case. Pin back the opposition and shift them right and left to get openings… I personally believe that’s true control not this nonsense we watched today.
@pedroelchileno Bro when ur 6 drops to create a passing lane and still just does a side pass , u need to question why he is doing it , central progression is 0 risk taking is 0 all we were able to do was cycle the ball 50 times to then give to madueke who just back passes 80% time.
@AFC_Monty_ Him Winning the Ballon D’or will set a very bad precedent to football. I get he is executing the tasks given to him but boy is he a depressing player to watch, Bounce back balls to whoever gives him and 0 attempts at half turns and no intent in his passes sadly. best at what?
@nonewthing What happened to ur “if we have 2/3 buildup specialists we will be ok” we were never ok …. About time you admit odegard for the important player he is.
