DJBOB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The thing is that in the big matchups between Arsenal/City/Liverpool - the first two have opted to make the game boring as possible to make sure neither side gets a win to pull away from the table. This does not work in the UCL where you have to try and win! All the time, City and Arsenal lack the players and the strategem to push forward quickly when the time comes and instead let the opponent sit deeper and deeper in the box. That might work against the Burnleys and Lowtons of the world but not Bayern and Madrid. Then you see how much damage Bayern or Madrid can do with 3/4 passes and some special players running quickly with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Arsenal done nothing this half. Going out with a whimper. Bet Arteta regrets not spending the Havertz money on a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t complain about it, but I’m also not going to get all worked up every time and English side concedes a goal either. I get that, but I kind of enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Doku is just so hard to stop the way he can square a player up then just explode off either foot to get a yard or two of space for a cross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I try to explain to ppl sometimes. Yeah Jack is a very good player, but different. I prefer an explosive player, especially in modern football. It's why I've always preferred the likes of Foden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
