Needs changing now rather than waiting for us to be behind and then doing so, because we will go behind carrying on like this. Once again, one too many players in attack leaving us wide open in the middle. Rodri who is having a complete mare himself needs help.

Grealish off at halftime who's been awful, get kovacic on central next to Rodri and push alvarez out wide for now then replace him with foden when needed. Not winning this without somebody coming in next to rodri.

How have you watched that first half and decided Grealish is the one who needs to come off?

His touch isn’t good enough either.

Notice he gets into pockets in midfield and we don’t find him because the lads behind him obviously don’t trust his touch.

So frustrating.

Haaland isn’t doing a good job of making himself available either and last season he would have buried that one on one.7 touches in the first half that we have dominated possession wise and territory wise isn’t good enough

Grealish set up our only goal with his pass to Kevin. Give your Grealish agenda a break for a day FFS.
 
Same problems. Can’t defend transitions and we ain’t scoring enough to compensate.


forcing it through the middle and giving away an easy turnover is going to fuck us this season. Why can’t they stop that shit?

Feel like the wheels might come off here and certainly against Madrid.

Put Alverez in Grealish’s position when he loses the ball more than everyone else on the pitch?

For 15 minutes or so yes. Besides, i don't think anybody has lost the ball for us more than grealish has this half. The balance kovacic should bring to the side is what's important here.
 
Well, terrible start but then played well and equalised, Erling then has to score that 1 on 1...last 15 minutes of that half possible our poorest performance since Villa away, giving the ball away regularly.
I'd get Gvardiol off at HT, been poor defensively and now on a card.
Tempted to sub Erling as well, hardly seen him after that bad miss.
Need to do better 2nd half and not be so wide open at the back.
