Still pretty annoyed by the tactical setup today
Alonso was always going to give up the space behind to Bellerin.. should have had Rudiger playing to cover that. Alonso's pace issues seemed to be neutralized with Rudiger covering. Plus he's just better than Cahill.
Arsenal did **** all with bakayoko on the field.
Moses is always a gamble.. one that is best utilized as an energy substitute or rotation player.
And Hazard seemed fine.
Oh well. Onto Atletico..
Yep, pretty much all of Arsenal's offense came from the right side, and it was almost entirely because of Bellerin's pace advantage. Rudiger might not have been a bad idea, especially after how Cahill was shaky at midweek.
Bakayoko is very quickly becoming a favourite of mine. My hope going forward is that we switch to a 3-5-2, with a midfield of Baka-Kante-Fab and Hazard sitting behind Morata. Use Pedro and Willian as high energy subs.
I thought Moses had some really positive moments today, so I'll give him credit for those. I would've preferred Zappa, but that's the way it goes.
Hazard should've come on earlier, but we're a totally different team with him on the pitch.
Atletico isn't until next week. We have Forest at midweek, then Stoke, then Atletico.
