Please note that Aribo never replaced Kent and played in midfield and at left back. It’s hardly like I was making a random dig. I said on this very thread before kick off after seeing the team “Personally I think Aribo loses out to Kent on reputation alone. Aribo has been better than Kent by a distance since the break”. I was picking up on that, I know he came on for Barisic but he showed us what we were missing and Kent did the opposite. Our strongest 11 would have Davis, Jack, Arfield with Aribo and Hagi in front of them at the moment in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game turned on a moment of quality from an individual. That’s what Hagi brings to the team. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAA 3,658 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I’ve watched the first half and highlights again. The signing of Hagi is a game changer. He put 3 chances on a plate for Morelos and should have come away with assists for all 3. 1 was a sitter and the other two were one on ones Morelos should be taking. Two of the assists were excellent. His creative quality is outstanding. A mention for Arfield too, he played some key passes too and Morelos missed another one on one from one of them.

Bringing on Aribo, Kamberi and Stewart was very bold and it really paid off. It was the Stewart for Barisic sub that was the most bold -- Aribo was left playing LB!! I like Kamberi; a lot. I love Aribo. He gets a lot of criticism from fans mostly because of his languid style, but when he turns it on, he's phenomenal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that stage of the game it was important to bring on someone who could play at a left winger instead of a left back. You’re right about the languid style. But his quality is there for all to see. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,519 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think the 4-5-1 we were playing towards the end is the best way to defend against Braga, because it covers their Wing-backs. Our 4-3-3 was compact vertically, but their width completely negated that strength. Our press was terrible. We didn't cover their pivot, or the wingers. I think we made it far too easy for them. Of course, all that is secondary to the fact that we couldn't complete a simple pass all night until that quite remarkable transformation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,519 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 What was that Referee like with throw-in decisions!? Jeez. At one point the Braga lad passed it straight out, and they still got the throw-in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
