Absolute horror show on that left hand side. Using richy to try and win first and second balls from the GK isn’t working when de ligt has his number physically.
Richy ➡️ Odobert
Spence ➡️ Udogie
@Kish_P14 That left hand side is making my eyes bleed. Udogie gives us much more balance. The drop off from kudus to Brennan is horrendous. Wouldn’t mind seeing Odobert for richy tbh.
His ability to receive on the half turn and explode into space has been underutilised thus far due to our progression issues centrally. Get the ball into him and let him cut across players and create.
He needs that rhythm as per @Kish_P14
Desperately needing bergvall on here to be more proactive in build up, need him to find space between the lines in Leeds’ mid block (Bentancur is hiding).
Bring LB on + GIVE XAVI THE BALL.
@LilywhiteLab I’m so unbelievably tired of watching Bentancur lay it off 2 yards back to Romero instead of trying to play forward. Such a passenger in the game.
@LilywhiteLab Can’t link play from deep, in away games in Europe and top teams he’s great but when we need to maintain possession or progress from deep he’s bang average. I’d like bergvall deeper albeit he’s a bit risky on the ball in those areas.
Really worried if tel is the 9. Simons dropping and linking play with Sarr making runs beyond him from deep + Tel and kudus making out to in runs is much more fluid.
These LHS dynamics aren’t working. Djed and Brennan both want to Invert. Using each other space + lack of passing angles for djed because of the right footer on the left.
The potential dynamics of savinho hugging the touchline and Djed under lapping is much better.
Half decent start here , compact and the man to man press is proving effective.
I don’t like the dynamics as we try and break out of the low block atm, richy needs to make it stick before we can bring our transition players into the game (Kudus, sarr, Johnson)
Djed impressive.
