Reminded me of the 3-0 loss at their place a couple of seasons back. Emery nullified our midfield and they were able to get 1 on 1s far too easy against our back line. We weren’t able to use a low block as their forwards held a line perhaps 30 yards out forcing our defenders up the pitch.
That said our quality on the ball wasn’t there and I agree that Isak looks in need of a rest.
Will be interesting to see how we line up against Ipswich. Got to be a temptation to start Gordon and perhaps Willock and Krafth.
I’ve always maintained there was a player in Murphy, unless England turn into high energy pressing machine he wouldn’t fit in. Let’s just appreciate what he brings to our system.
