Rose is not a central midfielder. Holds the ball for too long and you need close control. In the position Rose exhibited a rapists touch
Sissoko motm. For someone who apparently needs to be upgraded on he does seem to be one of our best 2-3 players in a hell of a lot of our games....
While we weren’t at our best, they played above themselves today.Not even close. We should comfortably beat them, but we just look lost atm.
I'd have put Verts there But I guess Poch wanted to get it wide to Verts, so his good delivery could be used, but we rarely managed to do that. Just once iirc, and it was a good chance from it.I'll take that.
But when I asked for something unorthodox, Rose at defensive midfield, losing every single challenge he went into and giving the ball away five times while we lumped it to Llorente up front after taking off Son....
...I'll have to admit, that was not among my thoughts.
We played like utter brick in the second half, so a draw is welcome. But something is very wrong with this team.
While we weren’t at our best, they played above themselves today.
That was good fighting performance. It will stand them in good stead going forward.
So aside from making it tough for us to score and being dangerous on the break, they weren’t that good? Isn’t that sort of like a striker having a bad game apart from scoring the winning goal?I didn’t think they were much good aside from being well organized defensively. They gave us little space and had numbers around the box when we were trying to work our front three in. Offensively, it was just breakaways.
I suspect there’s a reason for that.Doesn’t get enough time to do anything
