step too far this season.....we looked tired in the second half let alone extra time. Absolutely battered Madrid but they defended with all 10 outfield players camped on the edge of their area and they did it well Doku definitely made a difference when he came on...its what you need against a...

My thoughts 1. Nothing is over and everything still to play for...there can be more twists and turns. We have a couple of very tough games in Brighton away and especially Spurs away - yes its in our hands bu there are two very difficult games and we are still well into the CL and Fa Cup as well...

Wirtz for me along with Frmpong would be two Paquetta possibly but I think he is overrated.

long way to go regarding the title

I dont think its any coincidence that we are scoring more goals from outside the area suddenly...Haaland is pinning defences inside the area as they are so scared of him and the wide players like Doku, Grealish are making runs deeper on the outside ...the amount of space the midfielders and...

Thought Doku was excellent today..never stopped moving, making himself available, taking people on and deserved his goal. His defensive side of his game is improving all the time as well which shows he is clearly open to learning and putting the work in. interesting to also see him in the frist...

Played well today....scoring against a 10 man wall when he is double marked is always going to be a problem besides the chance in the very first minute but his link up play and movement was great. He again created a lot of space for the other attackers around him especially at the edge of the...

I understand what you are saying but it can work and did last year...the difference is that we had Gundo who was also a threat from midfield and a fit and firing KDB for large parts of the campaign...both of those things have been missing this year.... Our midfield should be stepping up to fill...

Really interested to see the performance of nunes...chance to start staking a claim. Its games like this that can make or breathe a players future with Pep as we saw with the likes of phillips

Haalands over all play hasnt been great but that is not what he was bought for...no team will ever buy him for that...he is a goal scorer and in that he is one of the best in the business Those expecting him to be a tevez or even alvarez and be involved in build up play are going to wait a very...

Is this a game where we are thinking we could rest Rodri and maybe Foden? Its always a bit risky to rotate in the prem but I think its also probably ncessary. Kovacic Nunes (esp) Doku needed to step up - Think Alvarez may come back into the picture as well

Get walker back and hopefully that changes

He even did it in the very 1st minute of the match....fell to the floor, threw his arms around in faux anger and frustration trying to make out the decision to not give him a foul was horrendous...he was trying to set the tone for the whole night from that point.... Fortunately the ref was deent...

was thinking the exact same thing when watching ortega kick long to Haaland on a number of occasions....

Bellingham should have been sent off for that one your are thinking about on Dias - totally deliberate Bellingham to City? - wouldnt go anywhere near the lad - another Pogba for me - hugely overrated....Foden is a class above him
