The fact Arne mentioned the long balls and trying to get better at defending against that style is reassuring.

We lose too many second balls at the moment so hopefully that’s something they’re looking at in particular, as simple as it sounds.

That ball to Isak was so good. Be a shame if Isak is now out for a while as his movement has been looking sharp recently

Looked really good yesterday. Hopefully it’s what we’ll see for the next few games as well

He 100% should’ve squared it but not surprised at all he didn’t.

Mo will always choose to score himself in that situation and it’s why he’s so good.

That’s an interesting line up. Be interesting to see where everyone plays

This is the start of the turnaround. Big game from Wirtz coming

But surely we’ll score some goals against this Frankfurt defence?!

Yeah I get what you’re saying. We need to get the FBs overlapping more for sure.

I think Slot is overdoing it by having our midfield be so fluid. We need to have a two in midfield who sit deeper and help with buildup. Having Mac so high yesterday drove me crazy

True. Do you think we’ll have to move to a more narrow team moving forward? All the players seem more suited to it except Salah.

Jones/Szobo as the wide midfielders behind Wirtz/Hugo/Isak as a narrow 3

Virg up front was tough to see.

I think the 4-2-4 was overdone in terms of how attacking we were. First half we basically played a 4-1-5 with Mac and Szobo on the last line. We actually had better build up once we threw all the attackers on 😂

We won*

It was like they planned for it as well. We won’t pretty much every header but United got to every second ball

Winning the headers isn’t the only issue. Heading them to one of our players seems impossible bar Van Dijk. It’s unbelievable

Lineup hints to me we’re going to go a bit longer in our buildup today to try and capitalise on their soft centre at the back

Agreed, it’s definitely a balance. I also can’t believe some of the outside noise given we’re still top of the league and have only lost a couple of close tricky games.

We need time this year and I’m not expecting us to clock into gear until Christmas time tbh

Feels we’re trying to shoehorn everyone into an 11 rather than play people in their best position.

Frimpong RB, Szobo/Grav/Wirtz Midfield hopefully this weekend

Variance incoming vs Chelsea this weekend? 👀

True, most teams have enough quality players to hurt any team.

I’m hoping for a Leicester 19/20 type of statement win today. Wirtzy to announce himself

Some of our fans are wary of every team 😂

I think we’ve won 5/6 against them at Selhurst. We’ve basically had a weeks rest so I’m expecting a win today albeit a tough one

Betting update 26/09 Looking at last week and my bet of the week

This is my betting review/preview with the weekend coming up. We took a hit last week but I’m confident we’ll be back up and running this weekend.

Premier League Preview MD5 - 26/09 In the thick of it

This is my preview for the Premier League this weekend. Some interesting match ups and potentially some surprise results.

Everyone thought it was his head in the ground yesterday but seems to be a knee issue based on what was said.

As we all thought it was head, everyone around me was worried yesterday as well

You should’ve seen the shooting warm up. He must have had 15-20 shots - split between left and right, he scored all but two. And they both hit the post. Ridiculous

Premier League Preview - Match Week 5 Blockbuster Weekend

I’ve just written my preview for Matchday 5 in the premier league this week. It’s a huge weekend with some interesting matchups. Hope you enjoy!

That’s fair enough, thanks for the feedback.

I didn’t think about the fact I was linking them by putting them in the same post. It was just a post writing about things I’m interested in that are linked with football.

I wouldn’t say I’m promoting it per se. Just sharing what I’m doing.

Appreciate this type of content won’t appeal to some but from my perspective, I’m just doing it for some fun. Not to make money, which I share in the newsletter.
