More than Phillips at fault there, but their keeper played it straight to him, control it and a good chance for 1-1, miscontrol it and end up 0-2. Bad mistake.

We don’t look a very dynamic side. Neat and tidy but need someone to take a few risks and create, currently that is only Palmer who for me has easily been our best player so far.

Alvarez is a machine even in pre-season.

Like the desire from Kovacic to make them runs.

Get in. Ridiculous considering he's barely played any matches on grass before this year.

There is a reason almost all staff in the NHS, now including Consultants, are/have been striking. Not all is well.

This is how we’ve done business for a while now and it’s worked out well. We have our valuation and if it goes beyond we move on. Maybe I’m naive to what Rice could offer but the numbers did seem silly for what I see him as - will be interesting to see how he gets on if he goes to Arsenal.

Ederson, Dias & Stones were the standouts. Bernardo best of the attackers but none of them really stood out. Rodri for the goal but he said it himself he didn’t play well first half.

Rodri been nervy - wonder whether we'd have been better without him on the pitch and trying something different tonight. :)

As expected so far. Better team and having most of the ball, but they're hard to break down. They've not been good going forwards. Hopefully we'll settle a bit in the second half and press the advantage.

Bernardo looks the calmest player on the pitch, get the ball to him and we're in business.

First chance for Haaland, probably should've scored.

It always looks like this though, and he never does unless we are losing or winning easily. From past experiences I'm sticking with no subs until 80+ as my bet! Edit: More often than not it works too for what its worth.

Agreed. No good pass option, plenty of space to shoot. Have a crack.

People asking for subs will be disappointed. Pep doesn't change anything in a tight game like this until 80+ minutes.

Ridiculous finish haha.

Imagine how crap it must be playing with Fernandes, he does a shite pass straight to our player, then has a moan at his team mate flapping his arms around and pulling faces.

Didn't play well, but not out the game by any stretch. Suspect we'll play much better second half and get the win. I understand the frustration regarding the penalty, but they've given these stupid decisions as penalties all season, I think everyone knows it shouldn't be a penalty, but they've...

Foden been the best player on the pitch by a distance. Deserves that.

Lack of work rate from Phillips is what frustrates me, he gives it away, then casually jogs back and puts no effort into pressuring the guy who ends up shooting from the edge of the box. Been accustomed to our players working hard no matter what, but especially when it's them who've given the...
