Not overly impressed with that, Barca are a week behind us with an inferior side and it didn't really show, you could tell we were behind when we played celtic, not so much in that one.
Ederson should be saving that 2nd, It would be really generous to say perhaps the rain made the ball slippy. Got to be saving those.
Grealish disappointing again, that chance he had is his biggest problem, mcatee played the perfect weighted pass for him to come onto that with his right foot and strike it first time, instead he let's it come across his body loses the angle and then a poor pass.
Mcatee looks dangerous when he gets on the ball, my worry is he doesn't get himself involved in the game anywhere near enough, needs to do more to get himself on the ball in good areas so he can have more of an impact because as I say, when he's on the ball, he's dangerous.
Nicely taken goal from O'Reilly, been underwhelming for me though, every now and again he'll show a wonderful touch or pass or something to show he's got some serious talent but he loses the ball way too much over pre-season, seems too eager to do something unnecessary over the simple and better option. Talented for sure but some way off yet.
Phillips I just don't get the point in playing him out of position, he's never going to play a competitive game of football as a centre back for us. His distribution has been really good to his credit, he's just not a central defender, should have started in his position.
Lewis and Bobb link up very well together.
