He had an opportunity at 0-0 on Saturday when even a mishit/slice with his right foot might have resulted in a goal.
Instead (just like the FA Cup Final last season) he tried to get the ball onto his left foot and the chance was lost.

Unless you're called Messi or Maradonna then being so one footed will always limit your effectiveness
 
He was struggling last 15 mind in Saturday, was be just rested tonight or an injury? Be getting if he misses the final
 
Some fantastic runs but some really poor decision making today. Had a clear shot at goal that should go in and didn't take it and that pass to haaland for a tap in should have come much sooner, that wasn't a hard pass for somebody of his quality to make. Did well defensively though, that'll impress Tuchel who will expect a more defensive and pragmatic lb for England.

This is the worst he'll ever be.
 
Needs to work on his right foot. He might be even more one legged than Bernardo. There’s often lanes where he refuses to pass because he would need to use his right
 
Got into great areas late in the second half but his final ball/decision making was right off. Still had the energy to make those surging runs even so. Has had a terrific season nonetheless.
 
Has to win young player of the year. Has to go to World Cup. Who gives a shit about his right foot he’s been brilliant the lad.
 
I'm surprised that players don't try and 1, shoot and 2, shoot across the keeper in those situations. Make the keeper make the save and it's likely there's an opportunity for your striker to mop up.

Did well most game, stood off his player allowing crosses at other points. Looked a bit leggy
 
Finishing the season poorly but more than enough credit in the bank. His decision making and end product has suffered in recent weeks but still getting into the right positions which bodes well.
 
His finishing on the ground is actually not that good, which is surprising, because he was good at that at youth level.

He is much better heading the ball to score.
