ONeill

Hard to believe they are where they are with no one really having a golden period. The likes of Trossard and Martinelli have stood up at times but no real goal threat up there. Jesus had an initial effect but tailed already. Gyokeres is more miss than hit. Madeueke doesn't really know what his feet are doing. Yet, still top.

Not 100% on what the tactics are in the last third. It's formulaic ok and you can't be overly critical of it as they've won more than anyone else. But it's definitely not memorable.

Havertz and Merino are unfortunate injuries as they actually have a brain.

Hard to beat I suppose.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Odegaard, Saka, Havertz,Merino and Madueke have all had injury periods and Gyokeres. Think Gyokeres beginning to click. Eze being way off it.

It looked like Gyokeres was starting to bloom alongside Havertz. Pity that's been scudded a bit.

Hopefully most mended bar Merino by late March.

Tactics in final third work a corner and hope for best?

Gyokeres very limited to date.

Havertz should play as the 9 in big games.
