We really missed VDV.

Same old, same old!!
Emerson way too passive. Dier useless, just pretending as per. Hojbjerg laughable.We saw this countless times with Conte and the Dier/Davies. Always behind the play, just watching the ball.

So we should have bought an entire back line and an AMF on the off chance that we lose 4 starters in one game prior to the busiest part of the schedule.
Post your email here because I have a number of Nigerian entrepreneurs willing to invest in you.
Vic can be thats itWhich exonerates Porro, Biss, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulu, Johnson, Son, Vic from any responsibility?
Nah.... Fuck that.
He was dropping back and linked play just fine. We didn't have enough pace/quality going forward to take advantage of a few of the passes he put through. As far as the final third, he got zero service. Like literally zero. But yeah definitely not his finest game and prob could have done more.Son was weak today these are the games he needs to get involved more he done nothing .

Yes we played shit
But Dawson did this twice before he got booked
Comms brushed that off SO quickly.....
Son hadn't even hit the floor, before they stomped it out saying "nope... def. not a foul"............ No replay. No further comment.
If you dont compromise approach and tactics, then dont compromise with players who cant execute the game plan. Dier is not cut out for this style of football. He was a yard off the pace all day.
Im all for not compromising style and being aggressive in how we want to play. But FFS whats the point if we have players totally ill-suited to the style we want to play.
May take w few more transfer windows to cycle out the likes of Dier ect. However being honest, Dier is one player who should have been binned in the last window.
This is life. Either take the Petro-Chemical billions or write a petition and pretend that you have integrity.
Will be good to have Udogie back next game, does a lot to help us gain control in the middle
I agree but that doesn't give me the latitude to whine about it.Erm……. Beyond VDV and Romero we knew we had little suitable for a high line beyond Sanchez and we got rid of him. You do realise we need a squad not just a first 11. Players get injured, they get sent off that’s life. Going for a high line under Dier is always a huge risk, it’s not his fault, it’s just his attributes.

Has gone under the radar a bit really for how average he has been of late. Always seems to get picked. Gets the ball in fantastic positions but end result seems lacking . Pains me to say it but I think he is just too slow for what we need in a wide playerI was begging for Kulu to come off. So sick of the sight of him bring outpaced by the likes of Toti or Craig friggin Dawson. And when he does get the ball, the whole friggin universe knows what he's gonna do. Man has no plan B. I'd have loved to see Porro play RW during that 10min spell we were on top.
Hate blaming refs but wtf was this?
