[Keeper!]

got to be looking for another creative MF, KDB won't last the season

Taylor refusing to book Chelsea players no matter how late the challenge or how obvious the dive.

He always refs us the same , we can get serious injuries and he still wont card the other side , at least he isnt giving them a pen ....yet

Doku needs to learn to avoid giving the ball away and should track back when we lose possession.

He’s the worst in the team for giving the ball away…..

I think Taylor is taking the tried and true approach of letting Chelsea players leave their boot in to “even things up in a City match”.

If we're still ahead on 65, then I'd get Grealish on. Not convinced by Lewis at RB. Kovacic apart from one mishap was our best player. Lots more to come from Kev, Bernardo and Haaland. Savio some very impressive play and Doku may be less so. Just need to focus and stop giving them cheap possession deep in our territory.

On a positive note, Savinho is looking awesome out there. When he dribbles and runs at the opposition it's like he is playing fifa. Incredible ability.

In terms of needed improvement, Rico is really struggling at RB and he is just now winning those duels in that area. Move him to midfield and put Akanji at RB, or take him off altogether. He is just not cutting it defensively.

I don’t agree on rico. I thought he played quite well

I did say about Savinho best young player in la liga last season for me, 1v1 specialist.

You can see he loves to play footy. He looks mature for his age . special player

 

[dublin-blue]

We absolutely need someone who can do some of what Rodri does. When he doesn’t play we look average and very exposed.

We've always needed a strong CDM. Wonder if fernandinho has half a season left in him

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Savinho is a great dribbler, but the most impressive thing is that he's always got his head up and makes good decisions.
