Grealish is the elephant in the room. I’m starting to wince every time he gets the ball at this point.

If grealish had 4 opposition defenders on him he’d still shoot

Cmon City

Gomez is not natural LB ffs, he is makeshift LB just like Zinchenko.

Valid point, calling him a natural LB was the wrong phrase to use.

However, let’s not pretend that we bought him to play in any other position than LB. Zinc was a utility player who managed to slot in at LB and done a cracking job for us.

Gomez on the other hand has a year under his belt at LB and that’s the reason why we signed him.

I'm no expert but I prefer it when Kev is a bit deeper and gets on the ball more, I think he's too far forward tonight.
Just need to keep patient and get Phil and bernie on at some stage and quicken things up and I think we'll score

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Jesus. You must be the most patient person ever. 4 seasons lol

Well that's the narrative here and I am sticking with it, lord knows I don't want to get banned.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Alvarez would be good I reckon, he’s got more energy than Grealish or Mahrez.

Cole Palmer has got more energy in his sleep than either of them. Him and Alvarez should be starting second half.

 

[Legal Alien]

We have been poor in that first half but credit also has to go to Dortmund they really have limited us to very little, Especially on overturns they are very quick to close us down and not let us get breakaways.

We need more from Grealish and Mahrez in wide areas, Dortmund game plan of letting Grealish and Mahrez have space wide and being compact centrally is working for them, It's stopping Gundogan making runs in behind too.

We'll still win this.

We need more balance and speed.
I don't understand why Stones is playing RB when Mahrez isn't helping him out. Get Bernardo or Foden on to at least give him an outlet

 

[wahablue]

Grealish,Mahrez,one touch then pass backwards,Pathetic.Foden And the Duracell bunnie,and Averas please.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Jesus. You must be the most patient person ever. 4 seasons lol

TBF though, utd have had 14 managers in the same time.
