Think subbing Julian would be a good idea, can't see it happening though.

For Bobb? there is no one else to put there

I think Alvarez has had a better half than Phil. He has a long way to travel back from internationals.

You need your eyes testing if you think that

Their main threat is every time bernie or Phil go forward & lose it they counter quick leaving Rodri on his own. Prefer someone with him & erling on his own up top to fill that threat

rico

Very good half but 1-0 against these bastards is never enough, and we've struggled to keep clean sheets all season, so we need a second and hopefully no defensive brainfarts.

Watching the last 20 Im amazed we havent conceded. keep giving them chances and theyll score.

So far so good, get a second early 2nd half and then control the game.

That's going to look a bit silly if it finishes 1-0.

We need Mbappe

This made me laugh scrolling through the thread ;)

We are so much better than them all over the pitch. Just silly mistakes letting them in to the game. Not sure Alvarez offering anything in this game. Phil seems to be growing into it now.

not sure i agree. they’ve pressed us very well and created some good outballs on the counter. salah makes a good pass every time the ball comes to him and eventually one of their short crosses is going to present itself to be nodded in.

that said we are playing with high concentration. Doku is creating all the danger but also most of the problems when he gives it away or allows a defender to easily skip past him. hopefully like normal their high press is fatigued come 60 mins and we can relax and dominate possession after that.!

Bernie’s the glue holding us together. Julian really needs to lift his game in the second half. We need him firing.
