The College Dropout Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Thought he was slightly better than Lewis today. One thing I’ve probably only fully appreciated is Gordon doesn’t provide the cover as the Joe’s - nowhere near. Gordon is great at winning it high but he doesn’t always come all the way back like the Joe’s do. Point is Livra was really left 1v1 with the Arsenal wingers and they got absolutely nothing. Livra just locked them down. Gordon helped but not like the other side. Obviously Saka is better than Martinelli but Saka did have some joy going on the outside and there was more of a 2-man job on him at all times. That created space on the other side for Martinelli who didn’t have the ability to take advantage because Livra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Saka is always going to have some joy against any full back in world football, mind. He's one of the best wingers in the world if not the outright best, and he's in great form even by his standards atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t just show him the outside and be safe, it’s a hard job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to point out that Livra had less support and gave his winger absolutely nothing. Which is why I give him the edge in the MOTM stakes. The commentator gave it to Hall because Saka is better which is absolutely fair too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that to be honest, though it would have to be silly money. But if there's one club that has silly money, it's them. Hall I would have down as priceless.

Not sure if it was forced by howTino was playing but Martinelli seemed to just want to go for a corner so could get their set piece on while Saka wanted to drive in the box.

andycap Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 (edited) He lost rice for there chance at the death. Other than that he was great. And yesterday Gordon was very good at helping him defend that's why he was shagged. Edited November 3 by andycap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Thought he deserved a bump today. Was in the wars but his stamina helped create Joelinton's goal and thought he made some good options at right back when we were attacking If we can sort his final ball out he'll be an even bigger asset Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 What I love is that I never think he's getting done for pace or strength. I love what Trippier is capable of on the ball but he's nowhere near as reliable defensively. Tinos forward runs are first class, his engine is unbelievable and as above, if he can fine tune his delivery, he will be unstoppable. For me, just tell your front men what you are going to do. Let them know if you are going to put near post/back post/cut backs before the match, try and build an understanding. I think with his pace, he needs to drive to the by line and cut the ball back, if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Unbelievable athlete. Now that right side is functioning well enough to allow him to overlap, I think the delivery will come. Had a couple of decent crosses today where no one was there to attack them. I'm sure we'll see further improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Howe said / changed at HT, saw us use him more with his forward runs and overlap on top of other stuff from the team.
