I thought he was poor with the ball but without it he was a wrecking ball. Covered every blade of grass in their half the first 30 minutes. Lead a frantic press that set the tone for us blitzing them. Not surprised he was fucked at 70 and if he's going through some kind of personal trauma, then I can only thank him for that effort last night in such circumstances.I think in big games like this people too often talk critically about how tired he is and how his passings not on point - he does so much dirty work in these games.
Most of the time he puts in a "sloppy" or bad performance, it's not that he's having an off day, it's that he's just spending 100% of his effort on the ugly stuff. Pressing, covering runs, tracking back, supporting Gundo and Rodri.
Henry looked a bit shocked after KDB was saying to him the personal issues.

: "We shout at each other. I like it. In some games, sometimes it can be flat and I like this energy. You don’t see how many times he shouts at me in the training ground..."
Ah, so that's what Cancelo was trying to do. Shame he took it too far.“If you hate me, hate me guys. Some of you play better when you’re angry with me! Do it”
Didn't need to make any comments about the private conversation though did he , causing all this rumour mill and putting more eyes on Kev when it appears he needs it the least.Henri sounds and looks like a loyal guy who cares about the player
To be fair, Abdo asked Henry directly about the conversation he had with Kev (he didn’t bring it up himself as others have incorrectly suggested) and I am not sure Henry was expecting her to do that, so he answered as best as he could on live television.Didn't need to make any comments about the private conversation though did he , causing all this rumour mill and putting more eyes on Kev when it appears he needs it the least.
It was more the fact that all of the players went to him like he deserved extra attention and Ruben picked him up and talked to him for awhile after setting him down.Tbf the first goal he didnt celebrate at first because the players was off the pitch.
You have to hate him AND play better, not give away winners to Mo Salah at mid pitch. HahaAh, so that's what Cancelo was trying to do. Shame he took it too far.
