Kova and Bernardo have not been up to par. Possibly sub Nunes for Kova at HT.

Hopefully see Doku on second half.

Hopefully take Kovatic off, apart from his two stupid, needless challenges, he's not really been great anyway.

I’d get Kova off he’s been an arse with two stupid challenges when we were in no danger. Would also like to see Doku on for a run at them

 

[Metal Biker]

I'm calling it.

102 minutes Erling winner.

They'd still be another 22 minutes fro Arse to get the equaliser.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Nunes on for Kovcic or Grealish on and move Foden more central

Foden totally exposed without a conventional hold

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

It's just fucking incredible that a multi million pound player doesn't know that he has to stay on his feet in a challenge. There was absolutely no value in winning the ball there by lunging in. Madness.

 

[Keeper!]

Arsenal are shit scared of us, and that's the only reason they're not winning. We have been shocking and a large reason is Kovacic. Needs dragging off. Get Grealish on for him and tuck Foden in the middle. Or even get Nunes on and tell him to play a more holding role, but Kovacic has to come off - he probably should be already!

Were scared, but growing onto it

 

[Damanino]

really angry at Kovacic, like he wants to get a red. wasnt picked for our toughest CL away game, had a full week off, and then almost gets a red. feels like we need to change him HT otherwise we can be down to 10 in 55th minute after his next way off tackle.

not sure Pep got this line up well, no wing presence, Gvardiol asked to fill in at left but we are aint making it count of some hoped advantage in the middle with Alvarez, Foden, Rico, Kovacic, Bernardo none of them plays well while Haaland got very little action.

we started better but faded heavily.

we do miss Rodri and KDb of course but lucky that Martinelli and Saka are off.

 

[Trojan1962]

Madness if Kovacic starts in the second half
