purely as a spectacle it's been a decent game so far, we need to be quicker to get on the move when we have the ball in our own half, too much dawdling around

Got to disagree with you a bit here.Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
We've been better than I've seen us for a while....still not where we need to be, but clearly we are moving better.
Its funny. Odegaard has hardly had much of the ball, but his presence seems to help some players play better and make better attacking decisions. It is pretty strange cause all he has done is made himself available for the ball, which most of the time they don't even give to him.
As usual, the left side of our attack lets us down with both Martinelli and Timber being below average. Partey on the other hand is a bit of a conundrum.Through out this bad patch, he's one of the few player's who can actually hold their head high. Again today, his forward passing hasn't been that great, but he has totally snuffed out Palmer, which is shocking. For that alone he deserves a medal.
We'll get 2 or 3 more good chances. Hopefully Havertz can stay onside or Martinelli can use one of his brain cells. Better yet, I just hope 2 of those chances go to Saka.
Their is hope we come away with something in this game....that's if Maressca doesn't outsmart Arteta, which TBH everyone has been doing for quite a while now.
@21GS - yeah pretty much agree with all of that
Maybe this is a Trossard game where he comes on at 70 mins and gets the winner - we can only hope
Not sure about the Odegaard goatee btw, looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo
Yeah I think so too.
The problem with Arteta is, the longer the game stays nil-nil, the more unlikely he'll try and make any subs.
I just hope he won't regret following his natural instinct as the longer this goes on, the more I see Chelsea nicking a late winner.
Simply put, we need to score first.

Can easily see us getting done here if these feeble attacks keep breaking down.
I agree our balls forward and our crosses are really aimless
