I wanted to see Trossard up front, and now I don't need to see that for a while. Viera was awesome. Saka and Zinchenko have some impact on their goals. Lucky first goal, I think, but we looked sloppy and shit in the first half. I don't know the plan here, but I trust the process. This was a shitty day, but more goodly days are coming.
Havertz does a lot of good things when defending. Wins balls, makes good runs. They probably don't score the last one if he's on the pitch. But for the love of pete, dude needs to score.
I feel bad for a 4 for Partey, but I am not sure he knows where to go, so this is a 4 to the gaffer who needs to explain Partey's job, I think.
On to next week.
I largely agree with your analysis.
Also, last 30mns made me wonder whether the players were anxious or fearful or both to make long ball attempts outside the box.
It was a weird one. It feels like we're hanging on at the end of the games. Small sample size, and we didn't really give up scoring chances other than a dumb set play.
