Once traore loses his pace, he’s so done. 

 

Ironically, I think it might be good for him when he begins to slow down a bit. I think he really struggles to control his crosses when he's going full pelt. And he's always going full pelt. Doesn't do a very good job of slowing himself down a tad at the right times.

 

It's such a shame because he could be so incredibly good if he just had a better idea of when to turn on the jets and when to change speeds and slow down.

I get what you’re saying but I think he has bad fundamentals, I don’t think he has the ability to beat players without that blistering pace . 

 

Yeah, I agree when his pace goes altogether he's toast, but in the intermediate when it drops a bit he'll still have a decent amount to beat people, but it won't be as much as a hinderance on his crossing ability as it currently is.

 

It's like someone needs to explain to Traore that his running speed is already going to end up generating a ton of pace on his crosses, and so he doesn't need to put hardly anything on his connection with the ball. He constantly overhits the crosses because he whacks the ball way too hard for the speed he's already moving at.

Cannot believe this has finished 2-0 when I’ve got Over 2.5 :lol: The amount of wasted chances ffs.

 

Oh man ... after watching them miss so many chances against Man United I went with under 3.5 for this game myself. Hopefully someone gets one more and we both win.

Selling Toney for next to nothing and spending £40 mil on Joelinton is just a shocking bit of business.


He would’ve been wasted here had he stayed. Probably would’ve kept being sent out on loan, never getting the chance to settle and play. Instead he was given the chance to play every week at Peterborough before moving to a terrific setup at Brentford.

 

Rather than the transfer itself, the issue is that we’re fucking shite at developing young players.

 

edit: this isn’t a defense of our transfer policy, mind. :lol:

Yeah, really admirable how both he and Armstrong made something of themselves the hard way.

Southampton with more possession than Man City after 25 minutes :lol:

 

wot

 

Southampton seem to have an excellent strategy for this game, pressing well and attacking frequently, really giving it a go and City finding it hard to find space. Contrast that with the amount of space we allowed Leeds first half last night. Noticeable that City are looking much more dangerous last 5-10 though.

Admirable half that from Saints. Defending and attacking as a team, not afraid to have a go and playing with a clear philosophy and team spirit. Limited City to a few half chances, mainly Grealish cutbacks/crosses from the byline. Would love to see Newcastle go here and play like this. Can't believe i'm jealous of fucking Southampton :lol:
