Since he's returned from injury we've played
Brentford
Everton
Brighton
Wolves
Palace
Villa
Fulham
Luton
Ham
Not
All of them bar Brighton played ultra low block Conte footy against us . We were at the start we were a bit of an unknown and teams weren't so cowardly v us.
Now the next 5 games won't be like that at all. So be interesting to see how he and the team in general does against teams really pressing, committing players and attacking

Great post.
I doubt it.
I like him. Good player who seemed like a ateal and totally at ease with the demand.
Since his injury or added focus, hasn't been convincing but still important.
Today got lucky. I expected him to be sent off.
hes emotional, its the same when a team mate lets him down with a shit pass he shows his frustration. i think thats part of what makes him a good player tho. he does need to wise up though and not let people wind him up so easily. he will be targeted by other shithouses if they think they can get him to react.
He was always a bit of a wankhorn. I wasn't actually all that keen on us signing him, and his creativity has disappointed me a bit - or lived up to what I thought - that it was a bit overrated- but his work on and off the ball and his tactical awareness has actually impressed me.
I don't think he's got much worse, I just think, because Sarr isn't the type of player with vision, or to create much, everything we do against the deep block goes through Maddison and teams are just sticking a guy on him most of the time, knowing that if they stop him they stop us, and he's not quite good enough to produce under that type of pressure, like the very top players are.
This is why we desperately need another creative 8 type who can play with Maddison, so our play isn't quite so predictable.

Anyone have a clip of him smashing Yates in the chest

Initially I thought him lucky but after watching Keane and redknapp speak about it I think they are right. If you can dish it out you have to be able to take it and it’s obvious Yates can’t.
That Yates is a twat, stayed down lying on the floor when his team were under attack and nearly conceded, more interested in getting Maddison sent off than actually defending, he was like that in the first match as well.
He's lucky he didn't get a 2nd yellow for dissent after he asked for VAR, he should have.
Yes, the same Yates who got away with kicking us to bits in the reverse fixture, including one particularly nasty spell where Sonny was lying on the ground copping it from a few of them.
Fake hardman. Wish he'd actually been bodied.
Yep, here you go:Anyone have a clip of him smashing Yates in the chest
Got a feeling if Eze comes in that he could find himself on the bench a lot next season if he doesn’t pull his socks up.
I think Eze is earmarked for that LW role
I don’t see it. If he comes in, which I think is a big if, because I don’t really see where he fits, then it will centrally as that’s where he’s done his best work in the PL.
I think 5 subs has changed the game and Ange regularly uses 6 midfielders and 5 forwards. Realistically 15 players will play meaningful minutes every game and a 16th some minutes, and that's without European or meaningful cup football. So, yes to another 8/10.
He wasn’t that bad, was he?
On of his best matches after the injury

He's not really creating anything. That's why he's in the side. He's getting on the ball but not really doing anything incisive with it.
