For all the supposedly firepower, they are struggling to find the net.

I would have thought by now, things would start to click.

We look worse each game. Doesn't help that MacAllister isn't fully fit or in form, but this formation isn't doing us any favors at the moment.
It's time for 5 refs.

Feels like the balance is completely off. Can't get the ball to the attackers in good situations. Concentration errors at the back. Slots happy an international break is coming to try and fix things.

They made too many changes with the squad this Summer. Signing Wirtz may have been a mistake. Why is Szobo playing RB??

They look completely disjointed.

Ugly, ugly game, but I'll take a point. We look very passive so far this season and the midfield seems imbalanced. It's a little concerning, but still early days. I trust Frank to make adjustments.

Not to derail, just wanted to say it must be nice to be able to type that. :banghead:

That Hauge dude from Bodo/Glimt looked very impressive, both goals he scored were great. Will he get interest from bigger teams?

Yup, he had like one good game so far and somehow managed to get himself benched ten games into the season.

Ilkay has done a good job tidying the midfield though.

My prediction is Gala will want to get rid of him after this season already.

Only if arabs are interested, otherwise will be difficult to find someone to take on his salary

De Bruyne to Hojlund looks like becoming a thing in Napoli. What a difference good passer makes for striker. I remember when M.Laudrup moved from Barca to Real Madrid in 1994 and Zamorano instantly became top scorer in LaLiga.

They'll likely be a tough team when they are home no matter who the opponent is
