Bruno with a yellow-worthy tackle from behind. One more card and he's at 10 and a 2-game suspension. Until he picks up that 10th it should play into our favor.
I've been critical of Havertz but his movement and all around involvement strikes me as much better from the ST/F9 spot. If the budget doesn't allow us to pursue a ST in the summer, I could live with a season with Jesus/Havertz at CF as long as we get a legit DM/CM. In that scenario maybe we also find a left footed Trossard (RW/AM/CF) as well to improve the overall FW rotation.
Saka with ALMOST a miracle goal. He wriggled his way through 2 or 3 guys in the box. Blasted it just over.
Jorginho adds a lot when he plays but pretty clear he can't go 90 twice a week. A younger version of him would be a nice signing.
HT 2 - 0. Shots 11(4) - 0(0). Poss 64% - 36%. We started fast and aggressively. Tons of intent. Put NUFC on the ropes... for much of 1T actually. Pure domination... coulda been 3-0 maybe even 4-0 but I'll take 2-0. I thought Jorginho & Havertz took on their roles really well. Curious what we'll see in 2T.
100% agree. A younger, more athletic Jorge that can play the 6 and push Rice further up field or a legit b2b that allows Rice to sit back. I lean slightly towards the 6.
No one can surely think Kai isn’t at his best as a forward rather than a midfielder? Great feet, links with everyone, wins aerial duels and runs in behind
