When he flapped at that cross, the commentator on French tv referred to it as a ,Donnarumma Special‘ … Pros outweigh the cons, but he really could do with improving on that.

Good again last night. Really solid.

Really tough one this. Fair few looked fucked by the end last night and we obviously need to rotate a bit. But I can‘t think of a single change that doesn‘t weaken the team significantly - which is a bit worrying …

No other player anywhere is asked to lead the press ahead of a striker, play as a right winger, and get back in as an 8, and even a 6 at times. It‘s an impossible ask.

Ran his bollocks off in an impossible role.

Best compliment I can give him is that he now looks like a right back - one who takes his defensive work seriously. Deserves all the credit in the world for embracing the change in position and going all in on it. Top attitude.

Thought he was excellent second half.

He was good tonight. Carried the ball well, relieved pressure. Couple of poor decisions but that‘s still to be expected.

Great result. More fraught than it would have been if we were still set up to keep the ball. But we just have to accept that‘s the direction we‘ve gone. The subs certainly weren‘t designed to take the sting out of the game. Tactics felt more complicated than necessary. There‘s not another...

Nice one Bernie

Good by Savinho there.

Our set pieces. Fuck me.

Lucky there. Dreadful by Donnarumma.

O‘Reilly is fucked. But can‘t really risk throwing Ait-Nouri on, given how turd he has been.

Three at once, none of whom are especially adept at keeping the ball. Looking like a fairly frenetic last 20.

Feels like we need to take one of Foden, Doku or Cherki off. Just not sure who for. Reijnders maybe. Or Bobb. Either way, need to get Bernardo in the middle next to Nico.

All a bit basketball at the moment

Lucky he tried to be clever with the finish.

Mixed bag. Some nice stuff, and good character to come back. But signs of the usual issues as well. Feels like the setup demands a lot of running - hopefully won‘t drop off second half. Surprised Bernardo can move. The amount of work we ask of him is mad.

Looked like he was papping it. But nicely put away.
