However, you can only do so much with some of the crap we have on the pitch.
Kolasniac and Cedric were appalling yesterday. Can’t pass, can’t defend.
The passing in general was absolute dogshit. To play posession football with any potency, you need to be able to move the ball quickly and with forward momentum. Our lot mostly pass backwards and sideways, with too many errors costing possession.
It’s easy for the opposition to break up play where square passes are the norm. We lack the brains to carry out the instruction.
Saka, Willock and Tierney are class. They give loads of hope...fingers crossed we can shift a few players for cash and reinvest in players who can make Artetas vision reality.
