His off ball movement is similar to prime Kevin.

Shame that his finishing is similar to prime Corradi!

It’s no secret that I’m not impressed with him but I actually thought he should have been brought on earlier tonight. We needed the extra body up there.

He should have but sub restrictions prevented that. We had been forced into the savinho sub thrpugh injury and then pep brought on Josko just a few minutes later using up 2 of the 3 permitted sub stoppages. Pep always like to have a sub in reserve in case of injury and we had Ake out there who looked like he was coming off after 3 minutes so he was never going to make his last subs after 70 minutes. he had to wait as long as he did to get Reijnders on. The error was not bringing on Gvardiol with Doku, could have brought on reijnders earlier then and still had 1 sub left.

In the team again, in the goals again.

ahem ahem

 

[Taylor]

Great goal.

 

[Haaland94]

We haven't had a goal scoring midfielder like that since prime Gundo. Brilliant, Tiji.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Scored and then we didn’t see him until he was subbed off.

Cherki. Foden and Casper sounds great but when they disappear/shit the bed as they did today, it leaves us ridiculously light.

They don’t give him the ball. Often he’s free but they rather send it right to Cherki

good goal but dont get him tactically. like arriving in the box sometimes well, but I dont get what else he is doing. kind of in the way of Foden and Cherki as he is almost playing ahead of them rather than behind them. I watched few Milan games last season and he wasnt this close to the box in those games. more of a box-to-box but but aint spending much time in our half at all or tracking back a lot.

he doesnt have it in him to run as much as Bernardo up and down.

also very different to the Gundogan type who makes us tick from deeper. its like he takes the most attacking bits of Gundogan's role and plays only that "limited" role.

Didn't see him before his goal either

Reijnders is a conundrum because his all round play is so poor, we are effectively playing with two men up top who aren’t really involved. Haaland gets a pass because his scoring levels are that of a freak. Reijnders likely won’t score enough to get that same pass.

he looked more of a box-to-box at Milan but he was able to do that as the pace of games and intensity of Serie A literally about 50/60% of PL.

here he wants to be more of a fox in the box lol but then we miss an extra midfielder when we lose the ball upfront which we do a lot.

 

[Blue Hefner]

I thought his goal was excellent. However, I’m not sure why Neville thought he was ma of the match

 

[handsofstone]

Actually thought he was good today, thought he got a bit more involved then usual and took his goal fantastically

Foden and Cherki were the wasteful ones and reijnders is arguably playing out of position on the left to accodmate Foden

 

[argyle]

Continues to play much better.

 

[clarion]

Play him 90mins.

 

[borassic]

Great goal but totally anonymous otherwise. My Dad - who I watched the game with doesn’t watch much of us anymore - said the same thing. Where is he?

Glad you said that because that’s what I thought - when Neville gave him man of the match, I thought I must have missed something

Watched it on a US stream against Sunderland (I’m in France) and the commentator said something about him being amazing. He’s clearly got something but I’m not sure he’s quite found it yet. Need more influence
