It's not harsh, it's accurate. he's not having a go at him for it, he's simply saying you'd expect to score at least one from the opportunities he had tonight. You could see in his own reaction he knew he should have scored tonight.

He did his job tonight without being at his brilliant best, he occupied the fullback all night. I thought he did well.

Wasted too many chances but he is young.

Hmmmm....Not quite the effort you put in when defending Sterling's performances.

Yes,he was poor,by his incredible standards,last night,but even so he still had moments of top quality and you always expect an end product with the kid.

He was very important in securing the result,his energy and tenacity kept PSG on their toes second half,they couldnt relax while he was buzzing about,and that created space for us and tiredness for them.
He'll be wanting to make more of a mark in the second leg,which should be a mouth watering prospect for any Blue.
 
The thing is he should of had two goals, did everything perfect except score, and he will beat himself up for it, however he will learn a little bit more composure, he will get there he's got everything, put him in the same position next week and he scores one, put him in the same position the week after and he scores two
 
Thought we didn't get him into the game in the first half. Often choosing to switch play over to the right with overhit passes when Phil was in perfectly good positions to receive a more simple pass.
Second half was much improved when he came inside and was more involved. Always showing for the ball, very rarely misplacing passes and bundles of energy topped off with a couple of moments of brilliance.
7/10 performance for me.
 
He was solid last night, even if he was below his best. The experience will be huge for him.

I thought PSG used Florenzi really effectively against him in the first half and he spent more time tracking him than going forward.

Apologies if mentioned before but what was he saying to Neymar at the end of the game. Looked like a fan with his hero! I was hoping he was saying “ you know if you cut out the crap out of your game, you could be alright!” Does Neymar even speak English?

Yeah, he does speak some English. Enough to have a basic convo anyway.
 
I reckon if he’d have gone out on loan these past few seasons to develop his game, preferably somewhere like Birmingham city (he could be filling the void the departure of the 17 year old left), he’d have put those chances away last night.

Hopefully he’ll come good in time for the return leg.

Yep, a scruffy toe poke would probably have scored !

Fantastic run which will make the PSG defenders very wary next week.

Right foot shot and he probably scores. Just needs to trust it when he’s on those runs as he’s scored some nice goals with it. As many have said matter of time before he scores a wonder goal.

They were shitting themselves because Neymar very obviously fouled him and would have been sent off if Phil went down instead of trying to score.

I was about 6/7 beers in and must have gone for another. Glad he stayed up though, honest as they come.
