From Ben Fitzgerald :
When I saw the team line-up before the match, I said:
“I hate to say it, but I can see this being a 5-1 loss. I hope not, but my god AW doesn’t know his Starting 11 yet, and it’s shocking that that’s the case. “.
And I was bang on.
More pre-match thoughts to ponder here:
So we signed only 2 players and neither are in the starting 11 (vs. Liverpool)
And why can’t Lacazette and Sanchez be in the starting 11 together?
And why is Welbeck starting, and as a striker at that? He’s clumsy and can’t finish.
And why are we playing Holding today? He will get torn to shreds.
And why are we playing players out of position when we have a fully fit squad?
And why are we about to sell Mustafi when we just bought him last season for £35m, especially when we need defenders?
And why doesn’t AW know his starting 11 yet?
And why does Xhaka continue to start? He’s a glorified Denilson – a liability who always gives the ball away.
And why haven’t we done better this transfer window?
And now we will lose our second game (vs. Liverpool) from the first three.
Starting 11 is all wrong. Tactics all wrong.
AND CAN WE PLEASE DITCH THE BACK 3 FORMATION?
