Gundogan was tasked with running into the box from the left channel where there was no space and where there was poor supply. Bernardo was tasked with holding the right and having no overlapping support from his fullback. It was all designed to get Leicester shifted to our right and then to free the outlet ball to Grealish/Cancelo. Gundogan and Bernardo didn’t play badly, they just did what they had been tasked to do.Gundo another shocking performance, could say the same for Bernardo.
Atletico Madrid 'Hold my beer'.It’s funny how people just expect us to steam roll every team we face?! Surely for 70 minutes Leicester were THE most defensive team we have come up against in the Pep era?
What do you mean by this? He arrived to us as a South American player of the season and in my view, better at everything than Jesus when he had arrived. The problem is he fell aside by the whole 'Haaland thing' and I am not sure Pep knows exactly what to do with him now. Almost a repeat of Kun - Edin saga and we might see his early departure at some point.Alvarez is miles off it at the moment. This was never a transfer that was meant to pay dividends early and well.. that’s showing. Keep giving him the time please Josep but expectations need to be adjusted. I’d like to see him on the wings, he may be the direct threat we need.
If you mean our average I think you're right we weren't outstanding but neither were we at all bad. We were playing an early kick off after a midweek champions league away match.Good win. Average performance.
Southampton would run them close, albeit they have defended thus in Manchester not so much at home.It’s funny how people just expect us to steam roll every team we face?! Surely for 70 minutes Leicester were THE most defensive team we have come up against in the Pep era?
