Closes passing lanes down well but is off it in the press. He doesn’t press with intent to maybe win it. Doesn’t make (m)any interceptions.

Dunno. Them faltering is goood. Them being on the beach is also good.   Ultimately the Arsenal game is a free swing imo. -
We are in desperate need of a new CM. Maybe 2. For me - Miley’s a long way off it atm. He’s got great size and technique but he needs the rest of the game to mature. Particularly off the ball he’s a non factor. He needs to snap into closing down and meaningfully try to nick it. Joelinton’s obviously the master of that - Bruno and Tonali are elite at it too. Willock isn’t as intense but he also is great at the odd interception. Longstaff good at it too. Anderson has been great at it for Forst this season. Miley gives his man a fraction too long on the ball. Maybe he can get to the level via training.

I became a full Howe acolyte after the league cup final. I knew he would find a way. He delivered. The boys delivered.

Been here all week talking about how we need to win and will. And we did. Never wavered. Big games. Eddie and the boys get the job done. Free swing against Arsenal, could get it done there. We’ll beat Everton to secure CL. -
Definitely lacks intensity. A non factor off the ball.

Probably our player of the season

That’s game over if Burn wasn’t offside

HOW MANY FOULLLS

Really don’t like Miley off the ball. Has zero impact.
-
Get Isak off for anyone
-
Caicedo on 6 fouls no yellow
-
Why are we letting Krafth defend 1v1 with Dancho?
-
Enzo pushes Bruno to the ground. Shouod be a second yellow.
-
Think he gave it away with his first touch after about 10 mins

Dont even attempt to win them

Offered nothing. The

ISAK’s been awful man
-
The team and the crowd hate possession for possessions sake.
-
Miley doing that thing where he doesn’t really add any value to attack or defence
-
ISAK’s been shot again
-
We are so bad at just keeping the ball. We have to force everything all the time.
-
Why are we so open?
-
We don’t need to over commit in attack. They will need to throw caution to the wind at some point then we can pick them off. Just pass it around.
