Sanchez guarding an invisible man and Doherty not closing out on the cross. The goal is on those 2 imo
It’s on Lucas and Doherty far more than anyone else. Toby can still be a damn solid CB on his day, but he isn’t vocal at all which is a huge negative for our backline.
2 points off 4th. If Everton and Chelsea tie tomorrow, we could be 4th as early as next Sunday if we beat Arsenal.
A draw would be best for this Chelsea Everton match but probably Chelsea W is next best? Both have about even schedules down to the end of the season and one of them will have to stumble for us to get to top 4. Hopefully Leicester continues their inconsistencies as well.
I hear what you are saying, but except for playing total minnows, he did look pretty shitty every time he got the chance. There was no speed, he didn’t track back, his finishing was poor, and the creativity really started showing up the last few weeks. I personally thought he may be done, but the last couple of weeks has been worth it. Bale was my first favorite player.
I love watching this stuff and realizing that so many of these guys are still kids just having fun playing the game. I also want to show this to every fucking parent who thinks they know everything when their kids are 9 years old and think the kids should be learning positions and practicing full field game strategy in the 60-90 minutes of practice time that they have two or three times per week. As the former President of a Soccer Club and coach I can't tell you how many geniuses who all "played in college" used to argue this is the reason their kids weren't getting trained at age 7, 8, 9. I finally didn't run for another seat on my soccer club board a few weeks ago after 10 years. I am so relieved to not have to deal with that any more.
I don’t see Bale or Kane at all in there which I’m taking as a good sign that they’re not traveling playing tomorrow.
Glad they are resting Bale and PEH and I think it is good that Tanguy was rested the other day. I feel like he hasn't been as effective the last couple of weeks.
