Are we expecting someone to be in the box....? That's the second time I've seen a great cross go straight across with none of our players in sniffing distance.

He should have cut back, he had someone at the edge of box

It's the kinda thing that happens with a system like this with so much depending on chemistry, you expect a guy to make the run and he expects the pass back and then it's too late lol.

Oh for sure, I would have just expected a cutback rather than a cross straight across goal, I feel like we don't usually see that

With Havertz we might see it more? Not sure tbh. We need the unpredictability anyway. As long as our own lads can predict it XD

Agreed, and I'm hoping that a lot of the tactical shakiness is just due to the fact that we're not used to playing so direct.
