If Barnsley are going to press us like this, our midfield can't piddle around with the ball when we win possession.
I think I've counted three times that CHO has dribbled the ball out of the offensive third and into the middle third, only to then give it away. It's not completely impossible he's goal-shaving.
Tammy playing like he wants to play. Playing like he deserves to start Saturday with Werner on the LW if pulisic isn’t ready to start. CHO looking like he’s ready for a loan.
Callum really pressing and not playing well. You can tell he knows this might be it for the season. Havertz so much better in the middle and Tammy looks good as well. Time to pull the plug on Barkley and Emerson.
Probably time for a change of scenery for CHO. A loan would do him well on the pitch but have a bad feeling that he’d never want to come back.
I hope Tammy is ok he looked in pain. This is the best I’ve seen him all around since before he got hurt in November or December of last season for the first time. Hudson-Odoi can go be the 4th winger and never play at Bayern if he wants. He just doesn’t have the final pass/shot. He’s like willian without the work ethic, defense or off the ball movement. I would love for him to get a lesser loan where he plays every week but his representatives would rather have him go to Bayern. Lol at anyone thinking he can play at Bayern. Lampard proven right not to play him the first 2 games.
I think it’s a damned if you do damned if you don’t thing. He sticks around unhappy on the bench here or he goes on loan and (hopefully) performs. Either way he’s going to be asking out.
I don’t remember that being a particular problem before the injury. I think that’s slowed him up and made him deliberate which isn’t a great recipe for his skill set. Has some Ross about him (obviously not a compliment) like that. Then again, he’s not even 20 and tore his Achilles less than two years ago so there’s a lot of room for growth.
Great pressing from havertz. Nice goal for Barkley that’s what he can do. Have to find a way to play havertz in this role behind Werner or Tammy.
Kai is Tammy's new best friend you love to see it. I don't care if it's the league cup, seeing those two goals with a total of 2 weeks to practice together is just beautiful.
Havertz!! Tammy looks like giroud today with his passing and linkup play. Playing his way into the lineup moving forward I think.
that's what I get for working, watching the match and posting on TMB. I quote & say the exact same thing as someone else... sorry
Doubt we see them but would be fascinated at the xG numbers in this game. Shots basically even but really don’t remember them having any massive chances (couple of nice strikes outside the box tho).
