Absolutely roasted their full back on numerous occasions but didn't actually produce anything (brilliant assist for the Saka goal, excepted). Is it harsh to say he can be wasteful - though if we had a more orthodox centre forward and/or a confident Havertz taking up better positions in the box he might have done better. Saka's final ball/decision making seem a lot better to me
Saka's decision making is amazing. One of the things that makes him so deadly.
I think the cut back from the goal line can be fairly easy to cover if the defending side are expecting it. Seemed like everywhere Martinelli put it they had the angle covered. Poor full back he didnt even try and kick him, whereas on the flank they took turns fouling Saka- two fouls and then switch.
Say what you like about young Edward, but he is good at making space in the box.
Last season, when Jesus was injured post WC, I was chatting to the Times writer in the comments below his match report. He said that Eddie reminds him of Gerd Muller {though not as good all round} in the way he makes space in the box to fashion chances.
He's been linking up better with Gabby M this year - look at the two simple passes he played to Gabby to create a Kai chance then Ă˜din goal vs ManU. Leo was very good yesterday, especially as our third choice CF. But given the number of times Gabby skinned their RB, I reckon Eddie would have scored a goal or two against Seville.
