Three matches into the season, already. One win, one draw, one loss.
How has Enzo Maresca done so far? He’s been able to play the style he wants, worked on Noni Madueke during the summer and brought him into a good run of form to start, and worked in players like Joao Felix & Pedro Neto to get them up to speed.
The bad? Well, Mudryk is still, Mudryk. Can you really say he’s improved? And the defense is very shaky to start giving up 5 goals in 3 matches to start the season. Even with dominating possession during the match, the squad has yet to unlock compact defenses who sit back to protect the goal. It was never going to be easy, but there still much work to do from Maresca’s end once he brings in Jadon Sancho & Reece James as reinforcements.
Up next after the break? The lads make a trip down to the southern coast of England to face AFC Bournemouth. Last match, the Cherries stormed back late at Everton to take the match 3-2 after facing a 0-2 deficit for 88 minutes. Three goals in under 8 minutes as the Evertonians collapsed in epic fashion. They are off to a decent start having not lost a match yet to start the season. Let’s see if the lads can change that!
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Saturday afternoon and kick it with the Shed End crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Shed End Dallas
