I didn't think Pep would let him play 96 minutes; he hadn't started in two months. But in the end, he played the whole match. While celebrating his goal, he asked his teammates to pull his leg because he had a cramp. Otherwise, a brilliant performance. With more games, he'll get back into form...

Finally, Khusanov in the center to see how it goes, and Mukasa in his usual position. I really like this lineup. But it's strange, no sign of Kovacic in the squad. Has he injured himself again?

I don't think there's a magic formula for such a serious injury, nor an ideal time to return after surgery. Carvajal was just announced today that he will be out for the next six to ten weeks after a month out last September. I don't think the City and Real Madrid staff are incompetent; that's...

There's nothing wrong with saying that the world's best center-forward is scrutinized, studied, and analyzed every weekend by opponents, defenses, and goalkeepers to stop him. He's improved in many areas, such as his heading, his movement in the box, his connection with his teammates, and he can...

You can't have more than 9 players on the bench in the Premier League, Pep has made his choices.

Ait Nouri isn't injured; it was Pep's decision not to include him in the squad for Aston Villa, and Khusanov has resumed training. So, they should be fit to play in this match. We need them to get back into the rhythm of competition, just like Kovacic, Marmoush, and Cherki.

With him, the team plays with ten men when we don't have the ball. I've rarely seen a player so ineffective without the ball. In the action leading to the corner that led to the goal, he neither followed Digne nor marked McGinn to allow Nunes to move to Digne. Not to mention his performance with...

He's definitely not a number 6. Without the ball, he's useless at the moment, especially in high-intensity matches. He's played too much since the start of the season; he should stay on the bench for a while; he still needs time to adapt to a new league. It's time to start Kovacic alongside Nico...

I just rewatched the last 30 minutes. He came on in the 76th minute. He didn't do anything special, apart from a spontaneous pass to O'Reilly in the box or a cross that found Haaland's head, and a shot that was blocked. But you can clearly see the difference in intelligence he has with some of...

Oscar Bobb, whom I really like, should have been substituted at halftime because he was the worst player on the pitch. The same goes for Reijnders. I find Pep increasingly accommodating and kind to certain people. In the past, he has punished players at halftime for less bad performances.

In big matches, when it's 50-50, every detail counts, the players must have their bearings, and choosing today's match for this shitty jersey... a terrible idea!

Cherki, Marmoush, Kovacic, Ait Nouri must start their seasons from this match Trafford Rico Lewis Khusanov Ake Ait Nouri Kovacic Reijnders Cherki O Bobb Marmoush Mukasa

Reality

This is completely inadequate for a creator. He lacks personality and courage with the ball. He constantly raises his hands to ask for the ball, and when he receives it, he has his back to the play and passes it to the passer. His very weak right foot will hamper him for the rest of his...

Savinho and Bernardo's defense in front of goal was ridiculous. The former didn't close down the angle of the cross and then didn't try to close down in front of the shot, while the latter was eliminated like a novice.
