Girona - Post match Thread

I must have watched a different game.

I really enjoyed it, thought it was an excellent workout for the lads, allowing some of the important players to get mins in their legs - Yaya, Sane, Sterling, Bernardo etc

Found it funny in the second half how dirty the game became, we were trying to treat it as a friendly whereas Girona wanted to kick lumps out of us, so we returned the favour.

Sane not happy playing at wingback.
Stones needs to sharpen up.
Foden and Brahim out of their depth.
Sterling played well and looks up for it.
Mangala played well.
Great to see Ilkay get on the pitch.

That's about it for me.

If Pep cared about the result he wouldn't have started with an attacking midfield of Diaz and Foden. Both were miles off the level they have been, Phil in particular let himself down big time.

The point? Pep felt the minutes were more important and I think he's right. I don't see the point in worrying about us not winning a match we barely tried to win.
 
We have no shape without a forward. Diaz and Foden aren't a front 2.

Without that shape, Foden and Bernardo struggled in attacking midfield because there were too many bodies in the same areas.

Girona and the referee made things difficult because they made dozens of small fouls that went unchecked.
