Didn’t see the stats but I’ll like you to compare with other players who were passing it around for 70 odd minutes and the gate of madrids defense seemed like it would not be opened even if they played another 50 minutes. Mind you he wasn’t only taking Cavarjal on, thee were times he had to do against 3 men. On the contrary, your faves were just passing it around and Madrid were having a good laugh.
It’s funny how that many fans didn’t warm up to “Cold” Palmer for some strange reason but I recall that every time I saw him, I could easily tell that he was going to an elite player. I wish he leaves this club and goes somewhere where he is valued more. After that performance you get just a couple of commendations and there are people even slagging him off. Just like Palmer, I don’t think this lad deserves to be in your club.
The reason why he was against three men at times was because he slows the play down to set the ball before bursting. This allows Madrid to get their defenders back. He needed to attack Carvajal quickly when he was isolated 1v1. His final product is missing and he lacks stamina.

Did really well when he came on. Well played.
No the reason why he was against threee men atimes was because he is very direct as against your faves that just pass it around all day. The Madrid defenders are back all day long. The clearest chances came from him and all this tippy-tappy your faves were doing was leading us no where. What did Grealish produce by the way?

Thought he had an impact. When his decision making improves he's going to be very dangerous. Only thing I find strange is he looked goosed not long after coming on. Can only think it was a mental thing due to the intensity of the game.

Every time I see him play I wish Grealish was on the pitch with him. Still don't know why we never use Jack inside. Got the energy and pace to make things happen, and doesn't lose the ball without winning a free kick.
Thought Doku did alright when he came on, but we didn't use him enough and to be honest everyone was completely fucked.

I’ll say it again and again.
The loss to Madrid was just as fair as our treatment of the guy that changed the game.
Serves you right.

Made stuff happen when he came in. Needs to learn when to go and when to hold though. Sometimes drives when he’s doubled. Played well last 2 games
Problem is if he continued to hold and hold like everyone else was doing, the time would tick and RM are the masters of the dark arts. Someone needed to take those risks ehich would definitely lead to lost possession.

I thought he was excellent. Constantly menacing in attack and tenacious on the ball. Well done Jeremy.
