'Consistently' then - and Man City started Stones and Akanji in midfield. And I don't think we played particularly well VS Arsenal at home - only 38% possession.

Don't think possession is on the score board, poch wants XG on it though. 4 points from Chelsea, 6 from Arsenal and 3 from Spurs and City . Not to bad when we have some of our better players available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn just had a poor game. Like most of the team did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 He had to work overtime after Tielmans went off and Luiz was having a poor game. Endless hospital passes sent straight to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 He has great qualities but picking the ball up on the half turn and dictating the tempo or having players run at him ain't it. Nightmares of when McGinn and Ramsay were playing CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Yep, not his fault we have no choice but he doesn't have the tactical discipline to play this role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 He was having a real stinker. The simple passes was going to a Olympiakos player all the time and he slowed us down. Been too many of those in the last matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
