Ah, you’re the **** that always slags him on the performance thread.

What? I've been praising him time and time again since last season.

 

[Burtonblue]

No lack of effort and intent from ours.
We will win this 3-1

I’m not watching as I don’t have Sky so I’m going off what I read on here. I hope we’re playing better than you seem to be implying. :-)

We’re playing very well EB. Don’t worry 1-3 victory coming up :)))

 

[meeesh]

I'm saying he's quietly continuing the excellent form he's had for the last 2-3 months, despite all the media and build-up focusing on Haaland and De Bruyne... Not really that complicated.

Didn't come across as simple as you fucking sound

 

[wolviedinho]

We have plenty of options on the bench if needed. Cant see pep changing it until late as we were all over them bar the goal and maybe 5/10 min that half.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Cool as fuck from Phil, great finish.

 

[Haaland94]

Should've tracked maupay

IMO, that pass has no right going past Ake. CB has to head it away, kick it away, foul. Whatever, but it can't go past him. No way anybody expected it to go past Ake the way it did.

 

[RayCTID]

They are marking him out of the game, I'd take him off and put Doku on.

Nah could do with keeping him on. He could do with the match fitness. He hasn't been a liability

 

[The Black Shed]

I'd give Haaland until the hour mark, then sub him.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Not for me but he’s affecting play and does it brush off him so the attacker is offside..

You have better eyesight than I have.
In fairness, that is the type of thing that VAR would have spotted
