The missed opportunity was frustrating because he never even looked to square. He also should have been more aggressive when countering before that, instead choosing to pass when there was plenty open space ahead to attack and he had the beating of his pursuers. Defensively, he especially needs to watch for the type of foul he conceded at the start of the second half, right on the byline.
 
Bad first half, exemplified by the decision not to shoot when one on one, but he did grow in the 2nd half. He needs to work on his self belief too.
 
The thing that baffled me about the 1v1 was why was someone who is right footed, trying to cut back on to his left? I cut him some slack because no other RB at the club finds himself in that position. Walker and Rico would have both been 50 yards further back and passing to Akanji.

Still can’t understand why he never tried to slip it to Haaland; never seemed to look at him nor even sense his presence.
 
Missed his mess up as my picture froze but thought he was solid and certainly has a decent cross on him, patience required I think.
 
Just not good enough, sadly. The comparisons to Phillips are silly but he's miles below what's required.

Never seen him complete a solid 90 minutes. He's good in flashes but always, always has a mistake in him.

Don't think he's strong enough mentally which will always hold him back from reaching his potential.
 
So other than the two drop bollocks in twenty seconds against Trafford and his fuck up tonight it’s all going fine ! Or maybe those shit decisions separate great players from bang average.
