Not sure how we got to half time only 1 down, we’ve barely had a look. Dreading the first 10-15 minutes of second half when we almost always concede at least once.
We are so poor. Players don't want to go over the half way line or pass to another team member. Paqueta has ben especially player. Kudus is the only one trying. May be need a striker to lead the front line. Mubama for Paqueta though most deserve to be substituted.
I’d like Mubama to come on for Paqueta. If I’m honest I wouldn’t know who’d then play left wing but I’d like to see us go for it as I do think we can expose them defensively. Mubama also seems good at pressing in a fast paced match like this.
Bowen doesn’t seem to be having much joy in his current position so surely couldn’t do any worse from the left. I appreciate it’s not his natural position but it’ll allow Kudus to go to his natural position and for us to have a target man in the middle being Mubama.
Also, see how we go in the second half but I would imagine Zouma’s legs will go even earlier than normal (usually seems to look leggy around the 65 min mark). It’s a fast paced game so we might need to bring in Mavropanos at some point in the second half.
With Bowen central, as he has been since halfway through the first half, we shouldn't be afraid to play over the top when he's ready to go near the halfway line.
