never a 9 for these kind of midtable sides

It wasn't his best game but I still don't think we should put him out wide. He's much better in the middle of the park.

He can be good on the wing, but he's got a habit of letting the game pass him by when he's out there.

If the ball isn't coming to you on that right wing, you need to go looking for it, or demand it, he doesn't seem to have the confidence or authority to do that yet.

Did you watch the game? He didn't really play 9 at all. Most of the first half he was isolated out on the RW with Jesus in the middle and in the second half he went to the left.

There was some moving around and interchanging of positions but he wasn't the 9 today.

that is exactly the problem but pep started him as a false 9. these kind of games we need someone to occupy the CBs and give us a focal point

He is is a false 9 and its a stupid position. Only Messi can play it.

even messi looks useless there when teams par the bus.

You're talking absolute shite, he started on the RW, with Jesus in the middle.

I'll ask again, did you watch the game?

he started in the middle for the start and pep changed it after like 15 mins as it was not working. go back and watch again

No he didn't, Domalino.

He may have moved over there but he definitely started through the middle.

Definitely started in the middle. Was bobbins, kept making the wrong runs. Then went right after about 20mins (guess?).

Played too frustrated in the second half. Needs to keep a cool head when things aren’t going our way, he gets too upset and it affects his performance.
