We can’t build up because with the exception of Kudus, every player’s first touch is woeful. It takes about 3 seconds on the ball for anyone to make a pass and by then all of the lanes forward are shut down.

And as brilliant as Kudus is with his touch, he seems insistent on attempting to take his man on every chance he gets.

I don't blame him. Imagine looking up and seeing a lumbering Richarlison as your only option.
 
Thomas Frank's chewing gum. Mine loses all of its flavour after 10 mins - and I don't give it nearly as much jaw-abuse as Thomas does, yet the cameras never catch him unwrapping a new stick. Do wealthy people have special gum?

He looks great - but so far too often his passing n, crossing and shooting is bad.

Am I alone in thinking some people are way overrating Odobert's performance?

I'm just not seeing it, his end product is wank, he never looks like scoring.

I just feel the standards are on the floor if people are getting excited about that performance.

He's miles off the level we need.

It's not his fault, and he tries and he's young, but meh. CL game and that is our best LW we can offer, it's shocking from the club it really is.

He's powderpuff.
 
For God knows how many games in a row, Richy has offered zero. Literally nothing. You can't legislate for a player doing nothing. So for a 10 man performance away from home in the champion's league it's not...that bad? I'm reaching a fair bit, mind

We look just as shaky at the back as well. Only diff now is we are not playing the stupid high line so not cut open by one pass. Not sure how much Frank is paid but I think that is all he has done to our defensive shape and playing a double pivot. Otherwise we still don’t press and let teams get into our half / pen box too easy.
