The difference in the second half was that we actually ran at their defence a few times and had players backing up the move running into the box.
Rather than passing it back constantly, which we’re doing far too much of again, the drive from Rodri caused them problems and we profited from it. We need another midfielder who can do that consistently with a bit of power and pace and break through the lines like Yaya used to, as we were far too slow with the ball in the first half. There was some chatter about Thuram from Nice the other day and he’s the sort of player we need in the middle.
Good to see Stones back and we just need to get Walker out of the side now and give Rodri the captaincy.
Foden played well and the lack of a red card for that challenge was disgraceful.
