He’s been appalling.
Sadly with the injuries he’s having to play.
Player Ratings.A very entertaining match for the neutral but a very disappointing result for us.
Once again, we began well, and should have put the game to bed. If that doesn't happen, and it isn't at the moment, we get overrun by opponents with superior athleticism. It is the way it is because we have swathes of players out, and plenty not fully fit.
Think of who is out: Dias, Stones, Ake, Grealish, Doku, Rodri, Bobb and then we have Kev, clearly not fully fit, and Walker not fully fit. These are tough times.
I thought Rico had a magnificent first half, and Nunes and Savinho looked dangerous. Phil's off the ball movement was great, and Haaland looked really up for it. Simpson-Pusey looked composed, and Gvardiol was positionally superb. In the second half, the midfield began to be pulled around by superior runners and the switch ball behind Walker was always on. It is a shame, but time waits for no one, and Walker, KDB, Gundo, and probably Bern are no longer what they were.
Ederson good game 6
Walker Time to leave 3
Gvardiol Not great 5
The new young lad Faded Badly 4
Lewis Over rated imo poor 4
Gundog average 5
Kovacic good game 6
Savinho ultimate powder puff 4
Nunes Tries hard but useless 3
Foden average 5
Haaland Very good 7
Subs all shite 2
