Yes the Arse were not very creative either two extremely lucky goals. We could have done with Fabregas in the second half. Onwards and upwards
It's better to lose in the 4th round of this cup than SFs. We could have handled one final (prob lose it anyways), but would have been nice to play at Wembley.
Conte...I don't know. Our subs bench as about as limited as could be. Our only attacker is an out and out striker and Ross Barkley who isn't an attacker. No Musonda, no Hudson-Odoi, both of whom play wide and centrally.
Imagine Conte is saying that about 352. Honestly, once we lost Willian, we did ********all. I'm not a Willian fan, but holy shit it's painfully obvious how much we need a 3rd attacker out there. Our linkup play is garbage with just 2 up top.
not sure who we can really get now, but the club need to be starting to make inquiries now for a big summer purchase for sure.
Dont hold yr breath (you'll die). The squad are exhausted. More depth would allow our best attacking players to play at their best. But yes, we need more answers up top.
Conte complaining about lack of attacking options on bench yet he was the one that made the selections I hope we see Musonda and Ampadu start FA cup game We have enjoyed complaining about Bakayoko, but guy has been out there playing 90min twice a week for a few weeks now
Bakayoko was our best player on the day imho. Struggled a bit in the second half but so did everybone else. Game completely changed when Willian came off. I was very harsh on him earlier in the season, but Willian has probably been our second best offensive player (after Hazard obviously) for the stretch of games since the holidays. Do wonder if we’ll see any sort of offensive overhaul in the summer as both Willy and Pedro are aging and Conte seems ever more likely to be on the way out once the season ends. It’s been beaten to death but would really appreciate Musonda getting some minutes without us having a 3 goal lead ahead of time. Also would just like to point out that as miserable as the last run of matches has been, particularly our habit of total capitulation against Arsenal of all clubs, there is no side in England apart from City having a real satisfactory season. Maybe we are struggling a bit more than some of the others in the top 6 atm, but everyone in the pack following City are suffering one problem or another. Our poor run is going on a bit longer than I was hoping or expecting, but I’ve no doubt we will start to show some resolve before the season’s end. Who knows, maybe the Barca tie will be the rallying call the squad needs. Stranger things have certainly happened
