Manchester United looked compact, sitting in a medium block, swinging between 5-4-1/5-3-2/4-4-2 shapes. The idea actually was good, rendering the team less exposed, but it seemed that the players, esp the front ones, were still not well-drilled enough because of the complex
After Cunha came on, Sunderland are able to find free spaces around the midfield line, especially when the play is on Sunderland's left side, because Cunha does not track back like Mount.
@LamdarhriAchraf Mount, are you Amorim’s lover for life? Mount, tell me
@LamdarhriAchraf Ruben, how deep is your love (to Mount)?
Arne Slot and Liverpool need to do everything in their power to prevent Chelsea from getting into a 3-2-5 high build. Palace, Chelsea and even Amorim's United made Liverpool suffer with this structure. Solutions = make Chelsea defend by holding the ball & press man-to-man high.
Great movement from Eze in the right half-space. Zubimendi with the slide rule pass to find him. Arsenal definitely have more tools to break down low blocks this season.
Veljko Milosavljevic at Bounermouth is a star. A CCB similar to Huijsen/Saliba. Finding new premium CCBs is tough and Bounermouth have managed to do just that here. He may need a season or two to get used to the relentless speed of the EPL.
Bukayo Saka has told Sky Sports he got a message from Thierry Henry this morning to remind him that Arsenal lost their last two home games against West Ham.
