Dr Venkman Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) It is so nice to watch us and not be worried when an attacker is one on one against him. His passing is lovely as well, that quick free kick he pinged out to the right last night was brilliant, ref stopped the game like Edited January 4, 2023 by Dr Venkman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Papa Eddie and Uncle Jason, need to take him aside and have the, errrhmm, facts of life chat. EH: “So, Sven. When two teams, who both love each other… JT:” Love to win, boss. Both love to win.” EH: “Yes, love to win.” SB: “Thee other love to win also?” He says with a perplexed look. EH: “Yes, Sven! That’s great…” JT: “He’s such a bright lad, isn’t he ah? Our Svenny!” Beaming a blinding grin, JT moves to pat the young Dutchman on the head, but thinks twice of it. EH: “Sometimes the other… JT: “Thee other, boss.” He says with a thumbs-up and an encouraging nod towards SB. EH: “Yes, Sven. THEE other team, well, they also love to win.” His core humanity brimming in to tears in his eyes. EH lets the monumental life truth sink in for his young protégé. There’s a, seemingly longer, twenty second DOES NOT COMPUTE look in the young man’s unfocused eyes. SB: “I see… .” He stands and walks towards the door, seemingly burdened by the weight of a newfound bitter truth. Before turning to the contemplative EH and wide-eyed and anxious JT. And then with a guttural growl announces: “But we will not let them, boss. They shall not win.” JT: “Good lad, Svenny. That’s right, that’s right, isn’t it boss?” EH nods. Silently watching the young colossus walk away before sending a tea lady arse over tit, when she tries to steer her trolley past him in the hall.

Kanji Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Over time I assume he will become even more assertive and confident on the ball (like Schar is right now) as sometimes I feel he can get a tad bit timid. I assume as he grows in age, experience and confidence he’ll carry it more because he’s more than capable of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schär lost quite a bit of possession by misplacing passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this time it meant more often than not that we conceded possession and Arsenal could continue to attack us straight after we’ve won it. Wasn’t just Schärs Daily though as some of the players on the receiving end didn’t always manage to meet the ball properly either. Sven did make some lovely diagonal crosses but not too many through balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 nobody looked like they could reliably make a 10 yard pass last night. It was quite frustrating because there were opportunities for the counter. Wilson wasn't holding it well either which was unusual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 For someone who is "good on the ball" Schar gives away the ball A LOT. Not just yesterday. I prefer the Botman approach with the more consistent diags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hard for us to build long counter attacks without Max and the whole team moving up. Much more effective when we’re pushed up higher, won the ball and begin suffocating the defense with our ball play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
