Was our best attacking player, only one who looked like he could make something happenThought he was really poor today if you look beyond the flashy stuff. No end product, regularly chose the wrong option instead of a simpler one, constantly declined the opportunity to shoot in favour of something more flashy. Just generally trying too much.
Surprised Pep didnt hook him. Expect him to be rested weekend and if one of his replacements plays well, I can see him starting on the bench against Everton, needs grounding a bit.
Yeah did nothing apart from have 4 shots on target, should have had at least 2 assists - the miss from Nico was one of the worst ever, set up Erling twice who failed to convert. Kept us going forward when they got deep - yes he should have scored himself but it's a stretch to say he was poor but I know you don't really rate him deep down.Thought he was really poor today if you look beyond the flashy stuff.

Normally I agree with your takes but I completely disagree with this.Thought he was really poor today if you look beyond the flashy stuff.

Apart from Doku and Haaland who did make something happen.Was our best attacking player, only one who looked like he could make something happen
He did his part, rest of the team were not at his level.so he's a bit shit again
Doku was comfortably better. He was better than Semenyo. I've no complaints with some of his approach play, he was positive in that regard, carried the ball forward well but the end product wasn't there. too many times he tried the highlight reel moment rather than the more effective simple option.Was our best attacking player, only one who looked like he could make something happen
What defines a chance created? By my reckoning, he created one proper chance, which was for O'Reilly at the end who should have scored, that was a good chance and should have got an assist for that. Don't think there was anything else, what were the other 7?He created 8 chances....

The very bad tonight in my opinion in contrast to the genius we've seen
Throwing his arms about despite playing in reverse all

Really poor compared with who? Bench v Everton! Attention seeking drivel.Thought he was really poor today if you look beyond the flashy stuff.

It's his performance thread, there doesn't need to be a comparison with other players performances.Really poor compared with who? Bench v Everton! Attention seeking drivel.
