kova is too slow in the middle clogging up play ,we need width asap
need to change in second half or it’s too late

Feeling it’s too late now……

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Rodri, Foden and De Bruyne surprisingly having no influence on this game thus far.

Doku and Akanji have to come on.

So complacent.

 

[Stato]

Ortega superb no2, never a top keeper in a million.

John Stones WTF already in Germany?

Just not played enough has he and it shows today.
Akanji and Doku were warming up so looks like they will come on

 

[Don Karleone]

Looked a decent shout for a penalty early on from where I’m sitting. Was it?

Definite pen

Well, I said we had huge bollocks last night. Let's hope theyve not shrivelled. Everything needs to change 2nd half.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Their second goal was well worked tbf. We’ve been incredibly slow and cautious. We’ve made it easy for them so far. Big second half needed here.

Well it was kind of well worked but our midfielders forgot to do the basics and track Fernandes to the edge of the box, leaving him free to pass l. It would have been a very basic job just to track him and that goal wouldn't happen

Sometimes the way we do things confuses me immensely. We had 10 seconds to go in the half there, Gvardiol has the ball on the left. Haaland in the box. The only thing to do in that situation is stick it in the box. But Kev was insistent to Gvardiol to pass it backwards, so he does and then the ref just blows for HT. Why?

It boggles my mind.

The two times we had a decent cross from the left, Haaland is hiding behind the defender. He needs to make the run to the near post to give the winger a chance.

He very rarely does though.

They all look lethargic.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I would get Akanji and Doku on now

Sometimes you don’t realise everything someone brings to the table until they’re gone. Ederson’s relaxed attitude helps to stop panic at the back.
