He's rushing, trying to move before he has the ball under control. Needs to take that split second longer.

Maybe, but he's always been a bit pants at it. In fairness, the passes tonight were crisper than usual but he's not at all good at it. Maybe we should get his dad over for some extra training.

He's always had issues with his first touch, its either immaculate or a tackle, more of the latter than the former recently, it'll come back, just hope it's soon.
 
Ed Sheeran played this stadium a couple of weeks ago, and so at least this was not the first time Deutsche Bank Park had been treated to an insipid mid-tempo performance that some people bafflingly insist is the work of a generational genius.

:D

And here again Emerson was the usual blend of lightning speed, tenacity, shots shanked over the bar and crosses blocked by the first man: a sort of human anxiety dream, and with a roughly similar end product.

I expect at least 1 of them to score every game

Then you are going to be disappointed, as tonight and Saturday show. If that is what we expect, we need more from the rest of the side so Kane and Son especially can focus more on playing off the last man.
 
Xg doesn't show the amount of decent moves we fudged up before the final pass. Our Ffp ranking was 8 tonight.

Xg doesn't show the quality of players behind the teams. We should have done better. We have better players and depth, but obviously not so good a team on the pitch.

But we have to get goals from other players. We can't always rely on Kane and Son. True? If you play a back 5, then they have to contribute to attacks at least sometimes.

Unless we can pass properly, the likes of PEH (who DOES chip in with goals) won’t get a sniff. Perisic needs to find those scoring boots. Dier already has a couple of goals this season. Let’s just face the fact that tonight, Kane and Sonny missed sitters. Three by their standards. Harry’s passing was awful tonight too…
 
We were fine. Away to a good team, deserved the win imo. Some way off our best, as has been the case most season.

Had Son and/or Kane been anywhere near their best that would have been a comfortable win.

Positives, but still not seeing signs of us fully clicking into gear. Slightly concerning, need that to happen at some point.

We really lack a link betwen midfield and the forwards with this line up

Say this louder, some think that playing three attackers is enough and if you just give them the ball they should do it all. I think they have been brainwashed by Jose

Although what you say is correct all it does is highlight our total, if not exclusive reliance on the front free to 1 - Create and 2 - Score. For me thats not a good enough plan regardless who they are. There needs to be a better creative and goal threat from the other areas be that wide or from CM.

For the level we want to be competing at in eEurope and the league we can't have a plan that is effectively "if they click we win" when thats reliant on only 3 players in the team or 4 in the entire squad
