If fern coming on he has to stay back no pushing up he also needs cover so take Mahrez off & get Gundy or zinc on to pack midfield out

Good half, but not great.

Everyone has done something wrong at one point or another, when under no pressure.

Some need to up their game.

Casemeiro should have been booked for that first challenge. Because he wasn’t it allowed him to make the second challenge (would be very rare and very stupid for a player to make that second challenge if they’d already been booked for the first, does my head in when people say “he should be off for two yellows” because it doesn’t work like that) which should then have been a booking… poor from the ref.

But Ederson should also have been booked for time wasting, so I’ll take the rough with the smooth on that one.

Theyve been okay but look scared to death when we get in their last third. If we just get a bit better momentum and make better decisions, we’ll score.

Have you not been watching United this season?

No but he’s giving birth to their academy players

 

[itsnevereasy]

If it was Walker injured it would be Zin coming on. Rodri off Fern on

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It did look like Walker wasn’t moving as well as you’d expect. Sure, he rescued a situation with a slide tackle on Vinicius, but if he’s moving well he’d have dealt with that at least 20 yards higher up the pitch.

Cant be seriously thinking about playing dinho right back after last week?

 

[Beanhead]

We score first we get through
No problem

we are just about to deploy a 37 midfielder at RB against one of the most rapid and direct forwards in Europe….

we definitely will need to score first!

 

[mac]

Kyle isn't coming off

 

[MCFC1993]

Maybe he doesn't trust Cancelo up against Vinicius?

Looks that way if he brings Fern on.

 

[nickamon]

Not a big fan of sterling but he will put the work in

And Mahrez doesn’t?! No way he’d be playing without putting in a shift.

 

[ninjamonkey]

That dinho sub changes things quite a bit, gone from assured and confident to thinking "shit we're in for a rough 45 here" He should get sterling on too to help or at the very least switch Bernardo to the right.

 

[vicblueman]

If walker is coming off mahrez will have to cover the rightback a lot better than he did 1st half .

 

[TonyM]

Don’t be ridiculous, watch Mahrez score assist second half. Can’t be so dramatic.

The match thread is the perfect place to be DRAMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Steffen for Eddie?

Bat for Lashes?

 

[west didsblue]

What did the twats at bt say about cassicunto not getting red or even yellow for his clear 3 yellows?

Dunno. Went for a slash and missed it. Been mostly adverts.

 

[abu13]

wtf Ferna!! no gotta be Zinchenko

Either Zinch or Ake and move Cancelo over to rightback.

 

[BlueLou82]

Surely you wouldnt bring Fernandinho on for Walker given Vinicius' threat. Only the pace of walker stopped him a few times

Maybe to shore the CM up as they seem to have a bit more space there. Im going for Silva to give you a bit of control and defensive help

 

[chaddblue]

shit. If Dinho is coming on for Walker we’ve got a big problem

 

[Cheeky Txiki]

Why wouldn't you put on ZInny then? This makes no sense....

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Cant be seriously thinking about playing dinho right back after last week?

Unless it’s Rodri injured?
