Not great, midfield not playing that well. Walker should have passed to Haaland, would have been a tap in at home to a struggling side and would have made the home crowd even more apprehensive.
Instead, goes for glory.
Final passing in and around the box has been our let down so far
As usual, Ederson drops another clanger and is lucky to get away with it. That guy inspires no confidence from cross balls.

Walker trying to spray balls like he’s a primo Pirlo lol

Pep secret Weapon,Walker free run off the Pitch.

I think our display is disjointed because the players are struggling with this inverted roaming full backs ,or what ever it is.

Foden looks terrified of moving away from the touchline.

Very similar to the Palace game.

Will Pep change it at half time,unfortunately because we are not 0-2 down i doubt he will.

This is where Pep earns his money, he'll have picked out the deficiencies and have a solution.

0 shots on target... whole team not at it. Should get Alvarez on and then Grealish.

Bringing Grealish on will only ignite their crowd and that at present wouldnt be helpful....if we get a couple of goals then ok but leave him on the bench till then.....

Alvarez on is a good shout however......

5/10 so far. We seem to be lacking any real urgency out there. Perhaps if Walker hadn't messed up that chance earlier, and we'd gone 1 up, the game would have developed differently. Or perhaps not. We'll never know.

 

[WestGorton]

Not a bad thing that happened really. We needed half time there. Get em off, get em in the changing rooms and let Pep change the tactics at half time.

No point prolonging for another minute when nothing we’re doing is working.

Agreed

 

[meeesh]

Get first goal we win,relax blues

 

[CityBluez]

Get Alvarez in

 

[OntarioBlue]

Yeah, but even when he has gotten in the box he has mostly checked his run and then passed back.

To me he doesn’t look confident in himself at the moment.

I agree, I said after the Forest my only slight concern is the form of Foden. He just doesn’t seem right at the moment.

The effort is there, but severely lacking quality. No clear cut chances created.
