Horrible pass from Mount.  Great set up to the attack and dribbling than follows it with a terrible pass. . . 

Zenit a better side so far

The ugly CL winners badge on the chest has thankfully been replaced by a less ugly badge on the sleeve.

Not a great start from us. Very scrappy.

We are looking pretty ordinary and rusty ...I don't understand why Alonso is playing in this game..always getting caught up the pitch.  Where's Chilly B?

Not sure anyone is clearly better at this point.  There was maybe a half chance for each side.  

If you like seeing a lot of goal scoring chances the game hasn't been terribly thrilling.  

seem a little rushed and out of sync tonight

Slow start but feel we will start to manage the game better

Ok we're starting to feed Lukaku. . . this should eventually lead to a goal if we keep that up.

It was always going to be a bit rusty and scrappy when they opponent plays 541. We just need to score one of the scrappy chances we get.

Come on that has to be a foul!

I'm not yet greatly entertained.

it had to be a free kick

What happened with the team creating  all the chances we couldn’t finish I think we are looking to get it into Lukaku too direct and not stretching teams as much And getting as much movement around the box we aren’t creating anything sane as against villa.

 

I actually prefer the way we played last season, I think Werner would be a good combo with Lukaku

We are playing the same formation though. Just nullifying each other presently

Wish Kovacic could shoot...the last but one 8 was pretty good if I remember 😁

Juventus ahead

We had Werner running into space & stretching teams, now everyone wants it to feet.

So light weight and no real craft either.. has looked very average so far.

Not a lot between the two to what they are offering at the moment other than Ziyech will try and go past someone whereas CHO of late would rather pass it inside or backwards..that's not his job...he should be taking the defenders on and creating chances. 

Man Rom usually finishes that.

Ziyech go past people? Never seen him dribble in a blue shirt. He actually hides.

Mason not in the game tonight
