Zonal marking at set pieces will mean we concede fewer goals than we would have done last term but only because champs teams don't punish every mistake in the same way. I still don't like the system.
Also the midfield seem not to be on the same wavelength sometimes, but that will settle after a few games hopefully
Of many downsides of not being there, one is I can't really see what e.g. Pukki is doing off the ball - the runs he's making, the players he's pulling off and so on.
Yeah VAR woulda given us a penno there but f**k it. Football is better without VAR.
That ball from Godfrey to Max was absolute class and there's been some glimpses of some great play. Still feeling optimistic about this season, though less so at my chances of being able to get into the ground to see much of it (now I'm finally back in Nodge)
