It is time ETH

[HL]

Not planning on watching the game on Sunday until after I hear the result, and only if it is favorable. I expect City to score 3 goals against us. Anything less I will be totally surprised. Got to be realistic.

Again Jangle, please don't jinx this thing.
I know that is what you are doing.

I am starting to question Ten Hag's coaching tactics. I said already that this season he will not get any passes from me as this is now his team. So far this season, the team is resembling OGS's. They are playing exactly the same, counter-attacking. Yesterday's game was ugly on the eyes and the problems were glaring. The midfield players are too far apart from each other. The problem that ETH has is that he cannot get the right balance of players in the midfield. In order to do that, he has to be cutthroat, change the formation, and drop one of the front players. As I've said before, Sott McTominay doesn't excel in any position on the field and ETH fell for his game winning goals in the last couple of games. The Arab was left on his own to marshal the back and was working overtime while McTominay was playing more advanced....under the coach's instructions. Throughout the game, the passes were coming from Varane in the back playing over the opponent's midfield. There was no one coming short into the midfield to receive the ball from the defenders. That is down to the coach and his tactics. I believe that the winning midfield combination is Cassimiro, Amrabat and Erikson, with Bruno playing in his number 10 role. Bruno's game improves 100-fold when Erikson is on the field.

Antony is a bust. Rashford needs some time on the bench. Mason Mount should get his game as an inside winger. That's how he was most effective in his prime at Chel$ki. Again that's down to the coach and the scouting department. Garnacho needs to work on the defensive side of his game to become a regular starter. I really like mini-Haaland.

drop Antony. He is not delivering in the attack.
