Problem for him is I just don't see an opportunity for him in the coming weeks, following his solid performance on Wednesday. Maybe Everton in the cup? Even that's doubtful, knowing Pep likes to go full force in the latter stages of cup games. Otherwise some huge games coming up, while...

Also, fouling as soon as possible if the worst happens and the opponents retrieves the ball should normally only be a yellow. It's cynical no end, but it's not exactly denying a clear goalscoring oppotrunity if one is 80m away from the goal, is it? :)

I'd love to see Palmer but I just don't see Pep doing it now. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see Doyle not start, although it'd upset to me. Agreed that we should give our midfield options as much rest as possible, especially until KdB is out.

Yeah I think it will be one of Bernardo of Foden eventually. Maybe even swap them after a while so none of them plays the full 90.

Brilliant work before Foden's goal too, the way he turned with the ball as soon as he received it, and made himself free.

Time to bump this thread after this sexy bastard had another wonderful game. Unlucky not to finish the game with three assists (and with a goal).

Good thing he got his goal in the first as he pissed me off no end. Now admittedly due to his right footedness, he has a more difficult task than Foden in this setup, but still the difference was too visible. He lost the ball a couple of times when we've just setup well for a string of passes...

Hopefully his wife is also happy with Pep's selections and tactics of late.

Borderline stupid actually...

He actually played some solid crosses and passes in the first, his assist for Mahrez being one. Far from his best but I hope it did good for his confidence.

He definitely looks like a better bet in such cup games as opposed to Bravo. :) And I liked Bravo (as a backup), but...

You seemed to miss from your list that he's scored the winning goal which he indeed took brilliantly. Or what was the problem there, that he was almost offside? :)

Thought he was great, you cannot even criticise him for missing his chances as there weren't any for him today. Yeah, maybe Aguero would have got to one or two on his own or via his own movement, but hey... Jesus on the other hand created some lovely layoffs and chances for others, and generally...

Weird game as no one was entirely happy after Brighton, yet we created much more against them from open play, and should have been out of sight at the hour mark. Tonight, we scored four but all were end results of set pieces. That being said, with this amount of pressure and Palace never...

Yeah pretty much every game one fuck up like that. Does my head in as he is brilliant otherwise.

He's everything that United needed yesterday instead of Pogba (or even Bruno for the matter), which makes it all the more sweeter. Brilliant performance.

Please someone make a gif or a short video of that turn where he fucked off two Chelsea players, Davis Silva himself would have been proud of it.

Fucked up chance aside, it was great to see after some time from him that he's still able to cut and run through opponents' midfields. Was actually begging for him to pass when the options were on as I just wasn't confident he can keep it as well as he used to, given his form, but made some...

I don't get this habit of him losing the ball at least once in a very dangerous situation. He's usually very good at holding to the ball, shielding to it, then either drawing a foul or playing through the press. On numerous occasions he did it today too. And actually had a brilliant second half.

Pressing? They retracted to long balls after our pressing with which we've dealt well most of the time (also in part thanks to Rodri, by the way). And in possession? Well, maybe one or two sharper passes to our fullbacks, and that's about it. How could such urgency be achieved when the opponent...
