Where was the energy of the NLD's of the past?

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Seriously.

  • Nketiah switched off midway through the first half.
  • Saka and Odegaard didn’t contribute much in the second half, probably gassed from playing their third game of the week.
  • Jorginho horrendous.

Off day for us and I’m sure the team realises it.

Ødegaard was incredibly out of character today, passes missed, losing the ball easily. Saka needs rest and know the limits of his body.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, he was. I’m also willing to cut him some slack (as a fan) because he's played 270 minutes this week.

It's almost like the gaffer needs to rotate.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I agree but where is the quality :(

He tried a tiny bit (half forced) with Nketiah, Jorginho, Vieira/Havertz splitting time the last few games and they were largely ineffective. Having Martinelli, Trossard and Partey injured doesn’t help of course.

Saka doesn't need to play in the CL man

Also Rice, also Ødegaard, also White, also Gabriel

Kiwior, Jorginho, ESR, Nelson, Tomi all crying for game time

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed. ESR especially — hasn’t played much this season at all. He looked very sharp in pre season.

For real, if anything we miss the intensity of Xhaka in a NLD. He absolutely would've stabilized the midfield. Rice is awesome, but he's not quite there in terms of taking charge.
