Kaneshowed more potential than Tel.
I watched him..
Don't talk shit to me.
And a left winger that's actually good at football. Scoring tap ins, while the the rest of your game offers exactly nothing, will only get us so far.
Yeah it's not so much position as traits. No one could receive the ball under pressure, no one could combine with a teammate to get a move going.
Kudus has those things, but Bournemouth were well drilled to snuff him out.
Worst I've seen Johnson. Really not doing himself any favours, same for richarlison, maybe more so.
In game like that you need a cf to hold onto the ball and he can't at all without falling over.
Upgrade the both of them , a new cb is so far down the list when we have forwards who can't trap a ball or make a pass

To not improve on our current 2 options, with a Champions League campaign to also contend with, would be negligence of the highest order
I hear it..
The funny thing is Johnson will benefit massively from a player like Simons
Yeah he might score 3 or 4 more tap ins, but we need someone that offers more to their game. He's a non-factor with the ball. Not the biggest work horse in the world to cover his deficiencies. He's just not good enough, and of we want to improve, we need an actual left winger. Tel and Odobert are not the answer.
Whatever.
Do you now accept the need?
In games like today, it offers real options, that simple tactics or not being at it can overcome.
Striker wasn’t out problem today.
Our issue was the midfield selection. None of them could pass or keep it against the press so we went long and asked Richy to keep it against 2 CBs smashing into him,
Trust me, Hojlund isn’t keeping the ball any better than Richy in those situations
We played perfectly for their tactics because our MF wasn’t good enough technically to play the way we wanted
He's an elite playmaker, plays first time passes and attracts players towards him leaving players in space.
So he's not then.Simons loves playing guys in behind.
We are still going to have a player that offers nothing on the pitch 99.9% of the time.
Come on now, the Simons goodwill has run dry.
Thank you to Johnson and Richy for the absolute stinkers forcing Bald Cunt's hand.
Bravo chaps

Johnson + Richy + Tel + 60m should be enough for Sem.

We won't be signing a striker unfortunately, but we might do something on the left in there's a deal somewhere to be had
Timing those runs is an ability Johnson has over others in the team.
Among the other disasters from Richy today was horribly mis-timing a couple of those balls that left Johnson offside, it was at least twice and neither one was Johnson's fault.
He had a mare, don't get me wrong, but those couple moments offered the opportunity to vent off the pressure we were under.
