Could it be?

He's too gung'ho, and it rubs off on the team. We lack tactical sense and intelligent game management on the pitch because our manager doesn't have it off the pitch; but as a player had tons of it.

Can't make it too easy for ourselves, it's like he wants to concede a 4th.

Silva off!? At least wait 5 mins and check the response from the opposition.

Kai with a great lay off for the goal.

So true lol

Yep, and just got more lively!

Magdoificent

We should just go short or just keep everyone back and give the opposition a goal kick.

I really hope Kai is just settling and only playing at 15%, I've seen streakers contribute more to a game of football than he has.

That was Mountiful!

Half-time: Caba - has no protection. James - has no positional sense, and no sense of danger. At fault for 1st and 3rd goal. No quick fix for the faults in his game. Chris - has no positional sense. At fault for 1st goal. No quick fix here either. Silva - At fault for 2nd goal, a mis-control is fixable. Alonso - made a huge error with his header, and simply doesn't have the pace to deal with the wingers speed. Kante - too predicable, same passes over and over again, 1st touch is to stop the ball, 2nd is to take the ball backwards, 3rd touch is a pass to James who has no one around him to pass to. Kovacic - is playing in midfield on his own, only link we have between defenders and attackers. Mount - Energetic, but has zero end product when it comes to passing, just thumps it at his teammates. Havertz - a mess, too comfortable receiving the ball and playing it back where it came from. Werner - has zero space, and zero service. Tammy - same as Werner. Can't be faulted if those behind them can't create. Lampard - has no knowledge of what the issues are and is just buying players hoping it fixes the issues. Our defence doesn't block the angles for the goal keeper, Lamps needs to fix this. Defenders aren't good enough when it comes to positional sense, Zouma and Tomori have given Lamps his best partnership to date, Lamps does everything but that combination. Jorginho is vital and is our best decision maker in our team, has him sitting on the bench. Is playing players out of position to accommodate other players, the more issues he has the more complicated he makes it. The attack is so disjointed that wba has zero fear from it, so they're committing players forward and overrunning our defence in every attack.

The Ozil position.

I agree, at the very least look energetic and excited to be at a new club, be eager to impress and showcase what you're capable of, looks like he's 37 years old and gone back to his 2nd division boyhood club after 15 years playing at various top clubs.

Werner was a left winger, in this game he was helping cover Alonso, and it's also important to remember that he was in that position when there was a real striker on the pitch with him. Kai was playing normally as a supporting striker in a 4231(4411), but then he went to play as a striker Leverkusen had started to play 343 with Kai as a false 9, so he had 2 wide men either side for support almost all the time. Lamps has played a 45(flat)1 in today's game, Werner and Mount were nowhere near Kai and also our centre mids didn't overlap him, se he was a number 9 playing as a false number 9 with no one else playing the system of false number 9. Square pegs in round holes.
