He is a fellow Ghanaian but has only scored one goal in ages.
Cue tonight scores a great goal
Sods law

I've seen this so many times with Arsenal it is either a non-scoring journeyman striker - quite often playing on the wing because he rarely scores but just puts in a nuisance shift against us......or it is a journeyman central midfielder who we just allow to snap in to tackles instead of using our superior passing and technical ability to render him useless.

of course Palace are no mugs, they held City to a 0-0 here, but we're totally playing in to their hands

Martinelli has to come on, anything is worth a go at this point.

And tomiyasu, Cédric is *%^@.

To be fair in the run of games he's had Cédric hasn't let anyone down. He's up against Zaha tonight, one of the toughest wingers in the league, I can;t recall Zaha skinning him. The drop off from Tierney and Tomiyasu is not what we'd want but there are bigger issues with the performance than just at full back. Partey has gone from dominating midfields every week to poor touches and being closed down and struggling to impact the game at all. When we struggle to get the ball from the back in to midfield and then the midfield struggle to keep hold of it when we do the front 4 are isolated and can't get in the game - we don't really have the players to go direct like Liverpool would for example


That’s not the case. The fear was he’d be terrible. He’s been average. That’s not glowing praise. He’s been terrible against Zaha, who’s had the feeedom of the right flank, which is what I’d expect because he’s average.

Like I've always said, Spurs can play *%^@ and still win a game, we don't seem to have that capability.

So far today its the latterday Wenger side who couldn't match the intensity and physicality of teams in these tricky away fixtures.

The 2nd goal looks really bad, you have Gabriel over confident thinking he can reach a ball he can't and takes himself out of the game, and then Tavares also over confident that Gabnriel is going to reach it. You don't have to listen to someone like Lee Disxon for long to tell you about full back play and sweeping behind your CB - you have to prepare for the worst case scenario, Tavareas stopped and didn't track the run - from then on it was a certain goal.

Hard to see us keeping a clean sheet in the second half, and we're not scoring 3-4 goals. Only comfort is we can lose and still be equal on points with Tottenham with a game in hand but it's really depressing to see performances like this.

Yeah, wasn't saying he's been playing well, was I? Still weird to single him out as if Tierney missing the game is the reason for Partey not being able to hit a five yard pass or any of our players not being able to win a single duel in 45 minutes.

So why isn't that a penalty, just shoves Saka off the ball. Middle of the pith the ref gives it easily - pathetic

It’s really painful watching tonight. You can just see the confidence draining away.

Not a single one of our players having a good game.

Xhaka has done well at left back so far but I’m not sure we can play him in that position for the rest of the season.

Saka to left back and Emile on the right?

Lots of misplaced passes, but I can hardly remember Ødegaard even having a touch

First real chance of the game, Smith-Rowe couldn't find the finish.

Ødegaard with another one. If we can't put these kind of chances away it's not going to happen

Edit:Duplicate post

Cédric has won 6 out of 7 games since he came in. The one game lost was Liverpool. I can't recall Cédric being at fault for any goal in that run. We know he's not as good as Tomiyasu but Cédric hasn't let us down in the run.

Author:  Rich [ Mon Apr 04, 2022 8:30 pm ]

Just far too many players having poor games. Partey, Ødegaard, Gabriel, Tavares particularly poor and Emile Smith Rowe, Saka, Lacazette not influencing the game.

The score line reflects the performance

Weird way to say it. Cédric played in the team that won 6 times. He was average at best, and out of relief that he’d be awful he got undue praise as far as I could see.

Just gets worse. Partey looks crocked and now there’s a penalty.

The pen just sums us up. Ødegaard has been pony tonight.

Why the *%^@ are we playing Saka and Martinelli as wingbacks!!!!!!!

White and Gabriel have been utter shite as well.

This has been terrible. When we needed to ramp it upwe have been found wanting. This may have repercussions.

VAR or not, they'll just side with the onfield ref. Ours wasn't given, theirs was.

We're getting nothing from this game.
