@legend_sliva_21 We need the fullbacks to over & underlap to drag the opposing midfielders and pin back the opposing full back. That was the tactical change at the start of the half, and Nunes continued it when he came on. They(47 & 10) both need central access to play as wingers in this system.
@BabaX1245@trevsenpaii Please watch Foden in the buildup to the goal. He should be sprinting back too, because in a zonal structure he should be covering the back post threat. Not saying Rico’s perfect, but these guys online can’t be objective and were going to say something regardless.
@sanskritPhoton@shaunog97@Priceless_MCI It’s ok to not like him and I agree he shouldn’t be starting but to blame him for all that happened for that goal is crazy!!!!!
@sanskritPhoton@shaunog97@Priceless_MCI But he was alert. He had to leave Tavernier to cover the space left by everyone who messed up before him, and cover the oncoming midfielder too. Blame everyone on that left side, and Foden, for not being determined enough to sprint back when he could see the danger unfold.
@Siddharth_Palha@CitehSide We defend zonally. He pushes up to cover the space from Semenyo’s poor press, which led to Josko biting and missing the ball, Guehi not sensing the danger, and the CBs left in no man’s land. He also covers the midfielder coming into the box. Foden should be the one there not him
@sanskritPhoton@shaunog97@Priceless_MCI He can’t mark Tavenier when there’s another midfielder running into the box. How’re you going to blame someone for trying to cover up for so many mistakes that happened before that 😭
@hhhh_mcfc He’s covering for all the holes Josko is leaving and all the mistakes Josko is making. Anyone else would’ve had a similar game with Josko at LB playing the way he played today.
Bozos on this app run with agendas but glaze their favourite players when they were shit. Dias did so much covering for Josko, who I might add hasn’t been good even in preseason, but no one says a word.
Dias and Khusanov fucked up, Gvardiol left his marker, Semenyo did not press his opposite number, and all I hear from this fanbase is "RICO LEWIS".
A fanbase full of reactionary and biased clowns.
@weaklinksport They can both play on the same pitch even if one starts on the wing. They just need central access, and Foden wasn’t given that luxury until the second half, when things got a lot better.
@MC_frnk First half, Maresca wanted him central as an 8/10, making runs that never got picked out. Second half, instant change, told to under and overlap, giving Foden more central access. You guys had an agenda on him from the start.
