A mixture of an unfamiliar formation and several players searching for fitness and form have made this a much more even game.
It’s not allowing us to control the game as we normally would, but with a bit more quality we should have eked out better scoring opportunities.
Mendy has to give himself a shake and show a bit of balls, burst forward and sling in a few crosses. This is a big opportunity for him and he’s not really seized his chance so far.
Cancelo on the other side a bit sloppier again.
Hopefully a ‘pep’ talk at half time will see some increased impetus second half.
