Back four exposes flaws in players who look comfortable in a three

Even in a three he's had moments he's looked dodgy (super cup for example).

He's a good squad player but hopefully that's how he stays, we've had too many squad level players get roles above their station in recent times.

I'm still not convinced CHO should be playing as a fwd in our system and completely agree with TT in playing him on the wing. He doesn't offer much when he gets inside the box, he often slows down the play too much 2hen running through. I hope he improves this he has so much potential

the 18 looks odd on barkley

Any number these days looks odd on Barkley

would this go straight to pens or is there extra time?

Well he's had a few seasons now to impress everyone and he hasn't...all this 'potential' we keep hearing about never materializes. If Bayern or Dortmund want to give us £80 million ..take it and run

Loftus Cheek has been hands down our best player

I think he's been a bit quiet in the second half.

Really don't want an injury to our boy Timo here he finally started and got a goal he could really kick on from here with some much needed momentum.  

First time we got Lukaku in behind need to do that more if we want to avoid pens

Yep, he has really explosive moments in games which gives the impression he's having better games than he actually is.

I'm really not a fan of this cup. Leave it for the clubs outside top 4-6 to play.

Bayern must be so relieved they didnt pay all that money for this

again not true. .. only player who is trying take ons and completing any.. rest all are backwards or leaving to the others .

Who cares about take ons. it is about delivery in the wing back position and he hasn't offered anything. Azpi and Alonso don't take people on but have smart off the ball movements and they deliver into the box

I don't think he was bad under Lampard (argument for another day) but since his initial burst under TT he's regressed big time.

Not sure what's happened.

What do we reckon then in no particular order but Lukaku, Mount, Werner, Barkley in our first 5 pens not sure who else takes one

What a cheating prick. sh*t ref easily fooled by it.

Give him time, centre halves mature.

He didn't really seem to do much wrong under TT but then lost his place for no apparent reason and has had limited playing time since. Like most of the other players with limited playing time he often seems to look out of place when he gets a runout.

That's embarrassing it was his chest not face smh

That cheating twat deserves a chopper tackle

What a waste of a counter I don't know what happened to Callum but, he's not looked on it today

looks like Steer has saved 6 of 21 pens in his career

His game time was also in frequent under Frank but he never fell to these depths.

He was actually up there with KDB and Bruno last year with key passes per 90.

same site says Kepa has saved 5 of 22 career pens

But ofcredit to villa. They were no mugs.
