Not sure I watched the same game as some of you. From the stands, it looked like he played OK. Did well not to dive in on Broja near the end and risk a 1v1. Didn't hide in possession.
 
Don't think he was our worse player today, just nowhere near the level required( current standard maybe )
 
Absolutely excellent at looking busy, but doing nothing whatsoever. Spends half his time pointing to others yet has an inability to do his own job. Seems to have tricked people (those with the biggest rose tinted specs) into believing he works hard and doesn’t shy away from the football, but he just jogs about especially when we sr rout of possession, and passes backwards whilst taking an age to do so. Never ever good enough to be in the Premier League.
 
Seems a likeable enough lad, but that doesn't mean he's immune to criticism.
Very much part of the current problems but not totally down to him - like everything currently Pep is simply being stubborn keep playing him.
At 20 as a defender (which is how he's been brought through) the basics of positional play should be there - today was clear evidence they're not for me.
Midfield, I agree with others he's too lightweight and can't (or won't) pick a forward pass.
Until we do some form of business we'll keep seeing him though, so please don't do an Edgehill and start booing him or making him a scapegoat.
 
Something is very wrong if he’s the only one from the academy to ever get an extended run in the team not including foden obviously as he was always an outlier whether you think he is average good or potential to be world class something is seriously amiss if he’s the best we have produced for our first team
 
Did I watch a different game? From the stands he played quite well and kept their winger quiet. I wouldn’t blame him for the goal either

He’s become the bluemoon boo boy, which is odd considering most people in the ground were supporting him

The winger that scored? Lol

Not sure why Lewis is getting shit for their goal. Doku and Akanji were far more culpable.

The lad’s confidence is on the floor, which is why his passing is often too safe.

He needs a rest, but can’t see how he gets one.

I agree he needs a rest and others could've done better.

But he's playing RB and in that position you need to know where your man is and mark him. Today, and he's done this before, he got caught ball watching and his man was standing free in the area, had time to control the ball and score.
Sorry but that ain't good enough for any team, let alone the reigning Champions!

Always got to be one. It helps the knuckle daggers vent their feelings
