What infuriated me (apart from the ref and Porto players throwing themselves to the floor) was our inability to play the ball ahead of Martinelli for him to run onto. The space was there and they kept playing either behind him or straight to him.Originally Posted by WES
Whilst I thought Havertz was about the same as the rest of them last night, there was a ball late in the first half into Martinelli that would have put him in - he f*cked it up
Yes and wasn't a difficult pass. Saliba was pretty awful last night, I'll excuse him one poor game.Whilst I thought Havertz was about the same as the rest of them last night, there was a ball late in the first half into Martinelli that would have put him in - he f*cked it up
He has had several poor games recently. I think something is up. Maybe he is carrying a little knock or is just 'in the red zone' .
I think he may have become a little over confident. it worked in the past and usually gets' away with it. I think he started to look like he'll deal with things slowly and with ease and it's not really worked.
Gabriel needs more praise. And to think Arteta wasn't playing him at the start of the season.
Gabriel has been our best CB this season.
I remember that ball! In his defence, he was trying to play Martinelli in on goal with a narrower pass, rather than the safer pass wide. Worth the risk there, but he got it a bit wrong.Whilst I thought Havertz was about the same as the rest of them last night, there was a ball late in the first half into Martinelli that would have put him in - he f*cked it up
We are not very good at this game management stuff yet. It affects our decision making about where and when to take risks and often ends up making us slow and predictable. And then vulnerable to errors.
