Nice to see Lazio still respecting Covid social distancing.

How are we getting on build up wise?

Decent so far. First 25 minutes we were very much on top. Should have scored with a pen from Watkins, but didn't, and Tielemans hit the bar with an absolute belter. Diaby looks good. They've been a more into it last 10 mins.

Cheers Ris
I would add that Lazio are shite though.

We've made them shite, they can't cope with our movement which means they're all out of position when they win the ball back and we're pressing them before they can get in shape.

This is their starting line up. No idea if this is their strongest side



#17's movement has been terrible

That hasn't usually been a barrier to us cocking up pre-Emery.

italian clubs are usually a fair way behind ours in their pre-seasons.

Is this Lazio's strong team or just the wankers?

Not with a basic player in the team, it's not.

Or an immobile player.

I must say, while we're not talking about it, that I haven't heard anything about effing xG since the end of last season, and the world is a better place for it.
