Any of you chaps catch the Chelsea match? Our high press was very ineffective - often leaving just Holding or Mari alone which gave Chelsea multiple opportunities on the counter. If we're going to play this way we can't commit that many bodies to the press.
Results aside Nketiah and Willock looked very impressive. Nketiah's energy & decision making seemed to have improved/matured - helping his cause to stay or increasing his for sale price. Willock scored a lovely cut back that wasn't given, and looked OK in a pretty fluid midfield.
Partey looked solid, until he got injured and could now be out for a spell.
On the transfer front I see the Martinez rumours are getting air time, and that Odegaard is now up for sale from Madrid. Either/both of those would feel like Mesut Ozil/Sanchez type coups.
Most concerning is the lack of rumours for players like Willian, Kolasinac, Soares, Bellerin, Runarson, AMN, Nelson, Nketiah, Lacazette, Elneny.
