The CH's are looking porr because they have no effective CDM in front of them, they are always in the 'wrong' position.I know the subs will be blamed but ultimately we drew that because of Akanji switching off twice.
He'd have given us more control than Gundo yesGrealish would have killed the game? Like he did against United, because that’s what he was sent on for? Did you see the two corners he took?
I'd have been ok with Gundogan coming on for Haaland and then some actual legs in midfield. Then we could play the extra passes that we didn’t against West Ham. Instead we continued to attack.It's not Gundogan coming on that's the problem. It's the players not coming on that should have before HIM!! Like players who can run and close opposition players down.
Baffled by that he was on a hat trick too.if he brought on a midfielder fair enoughDefinitely a momentum-killer for Erling. Terrible body language tonight, but totally understandable when he's been continually running into space and not getting the ball, over the past god-knows-how-long?
Phil suddenly given the confidence- and energy-boost from 2 goals, then subbed?
You really have to wonder about Pep's (lack of?) man management...
