Poor in the sense that we were quite open and didnt control the game at all. ...second half was very different...the team was a lot closer together and much more connected as a result.
On Riejnders im sorry - baring the first game vs Wolves (who could go down as the worst ever prem team) he has been nothing short of pathetic and NOTHING today was better than any other game he has played...his work rate is shocking, he cant tackle, doesnt retain possession, doesnt work back to get goal side when out of possession. At present he is fucking shocking....he creates very little - he is a goal threat but that is about it....
Its not just about today - its every time he s on the pitch
He has the ability - I have zero doubt about that but that almost makes it worst....and the time arguement with a player who is 27 doesnt work - Ferna came in at roughly the same age and immediately hit the ground running and got better....Reijnders couldnt get much worse at present.
It was a positive run by Sav - would have liked to see him slot it away but at least he got the penalty - but his position is the bench at present and coming on near the end of matches to try and build his confidence....nothing more
Most were 7's Id agree but not Reijnders (4 at best) and possibly Donarumma (6) - flapped again and should have caught one he punched as well....Foden if he hadnt of scored would have been a 6 - he has played a lot better recently
