Alvarez off, Grealish on, put Doku on the right and Foden in the middle.

I like that. Give Cucurella a new look while he's on a yellow.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Good game this. We've been very poor at the back, sloppy with our passing.

Grealish on please Pep.

 

[Haaland94]

All good. Play simple and fight like they fight us.
Gvardiol and Dias ffs

Goal aside, both have been good, especially Gvardiol. Walker didn't cover himself in glory letting Sterling ahead of him as well.

 

[Chi-town blues]

doku is there to counter and balance raz threat on the opposite side , he needs support from bernie or wooolian . take doku out and that let james move far in our half .

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

Alvarez and Haaland is too offensive to play away from home, our midfield is wide open so Kovacic or Nunes need to come on for one of the front 5.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Our defence is worrying me every time they attack. That second goal was shocking

Feels like 17/18,18/19

 

[I'm With Stupid]

The pundits are right. It is more exciting when we're shit. I'd still take a nice controlled win though.

 

[Malcontent]

Cuckoo rella pulling Rodri away from blocking that

And no VAR check ?

 

[PragueBlue]

Not at our best. Didn't really have control of the game and a bit open at the back. Dias and Guardiol both looked a bit shaky at times. Alvarez and Doku not doing much but both are capable of changing that round quickly.

If we want a bit more control then look at bringing Grealish on for Alvarez, move Foden contraband shuffle Doku wide right, or perhaps bring on Kovacic.

Get it right 2nd half and we should win this.

 

[colorado blue]

Nearly everyone on here is focusing on the wrong man

It's Alvarez that need to move aside for Jack not Doku

Agree. I would have started Jack over Doku but now he’s playing I would leave him on. Alvarez has been poor by his standards.
