7 Assists for Pogba.

next year those passes will be to mbappe and benzema

And Marital's dummy for Lingard.

VDB has insane understanding of space, I really hope he leaves and shows his talent elsewhere.

Bruno's goal was perfectly struck, but his play in the midfield was pretty bad other than that.

Bruno should be more of a SS tbh. He and Sancho

While its 1-0, I feel like in this game its coming down to shyt finishing, not a lack of creativity. I'm happy with that, for now.

I don't see how you can justify putting Xhaka back into this team tho

Actually, now that I'm done with the hype of the game, Xhaka does have his bright spots. But this game, I think Arteta might have realized Norwich weren't threatening on the counter and said fukk it and put Odegaard next to Partey. I need more games to evaluate. Pretty creative substitutions

messi lingard 4 -1

Yeah those sort of players who know how to pass move and link play up quickly. He would excel if he played in a 3421 under the right coach of course. Someone like Tuchel and Potter, Would work at Liverpool as the wingers play more in the half space as the FB's provide the width. Citeh would of been the best fit for him People forget that when he had his peak season at Dortmund he was playing more as a roaming SS with another player behind the striker. And it was Hakimi providing the width/patrolling the right flank. Just goes to show how many people actually watched Sancho when it wasnt highlights/comp videos and checking his stats.

That's understandable for regular people. Question is do Ole and United scouts watch more than highlights/comp videos and hype?

100%. A couple times this game Sancho would get the ball in space but would almost wait for the defender to come to him so he could dribble past him.

.

I didnt watch the game. So ill ask was it more of a case of slowing the play waiting for someone to move/run into the space or was it more trying to get some confidence/crowd behind him sort of thing?

 

[Gilver]

Thats because hes coached by the same person at both levels.

And hes not really a EPL winger winger. His game is better suited to play in mainland Europe because he isnt your typical type of English attacker. He wants to come inside and play 1-2's and play the final pass.

I mean, Sancho was good, showed some nice flashes, very encouraging.

Not sure how anyone could see different today.

 

[nyknick]

Juentus is getting bullied out there, you love to see it

 

[TobiOT]

Souness will be having a fit

 

[frush11]

Only Arsenal fans can moan about a win

Idk why they signed sancho I don't see him fitting. I guess for depth reasons but I still think lingard is more well rounded

@Jamal514
Checking out Rants stream and when Bruno scored that banger he was like.

Cause he knows that Bruno is frustrating as hell but he will still get his G/A in the end.

Statman Bains was like

In England ever since I've been watching football attacking creative players get put out wide. Even pure midfielders that are creative get stuck out wide even more so if they can beat a player with a feint or bit of skill. Remember Modric when he first came to England Arry use to play him LM for the first 6 months of his Spurs career. British coaches dont know any better thats why England dont produce those sort of players in CM. Even Gazza the game that secured his England place in the 90 World Squad vs Czechoslovakia he was playing LM
