I'm generally disappointed with Gross delivery from set pieces, especially his outswingers seem way too high and floaty to realistically end up in a goal, but I can't help thinking of the one he put on Welbeck's head towards the end of the game justifies him continuing for the time being.
I...
If the message to the wingers, is to not turn back, get on the ball, take on your man, get to the line, fire it across, I think Evan would get the goals
Sure we would have less possession, we would be more vulnerable to counter attacks, but we would also earn more free kicks, corners and maybe...
This is exactly the way I see it.
It wasn't a sparkling performance, but away from home against a side happy to defend and take a point, to create that number of chances to win the game wasn't bad. I see why De Zerbi says we played well.
To me the conversation should be about why the goals...
Though I think it was more finishing than tactics which was the problem tonight. There are things I think we should be doing against low block teams. First, selection.
Lamptey is much more direct than Adingra
Enciso is much more creative than Facu
Lallana was a good selection for this game...
