Admin Ian M Posted September 2, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 For the last 10 mins we had Pato playing on the right side of attack & O’Dowda AND Eliasson playing on the right wing, leaving no one to play on the left. They were clearly having fun flicking their way through Blackburn’s beleaguered defence. If this is a new tactic we will need Hakeeb back ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I think it was more about the rest of our team doing their utmost to put Niclas in for a goal which would have put the icing on the cake for him. They really wanted him to get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After HT, we switched to a right side attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 From about 75 minutes onwards the whole of their defence had hands on hips attempting to take every gasp they could. Never seen a team look so knackered. I wonder if we’re fit, or theyre unfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took short corners, very quick throw ins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure in truth how many of them played midweek in the cup, if any, but our passing as well second half took a toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We played well second half but they were awful lucky to get away with only conceding 4 in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran his hand through his hair with a prerequisite set of fingers..... Very very strange. Made me feel uncomfortable. Am I in a parallel universe?

Never seen a team look so knackered. I wonder if we’re fit, or theyre unfit. My brother in law went on Sunday. Has been a fairly good standard player and “supports” Arsenal. He also has a soft spot for City but only goes to a game or 2 each season. He was hugely impressed by our movement. He says it’s the best he’s seen outside the premier league and our pressing, even to the 93rd minute would have worn down Europa league standard premier league teams. It was interesting to hear from someone who tends to only watch Premier league football generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
