we can't play any worse than that...early goal back 2nd half and it's game on

 

[BossHog]

Nope don't agree either.
If that had been at the other end I bet you'd have a different take on it.

Thing is at the other end it would be given.

 

[Blue warrior]

where are you Kev

 

[adr2.8i]

Well this has ruined my bank holiday weekend so far :-(
A change or two and a pep rollicking and let's get this scoreline reversed!
Keep the faith

 

[bluemoon32]

Get Kev off, who cares if he kicks off, should play better

 

[Keeper!]

tbf our backline didn't help the keeper by pulling a shocker today, not even Edi calmness in the back will change that.

Defence is shocking Ake apart, but the first was the keepers to make his, Ederson has a broken eye for doing just that

 

[CTID1988]

Seem a few blues leave wembley already. Another goal and I might join them

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

KDB and Stones off for Akanji and Doku, properly take it to them straight from the whistle

 

[Chak19]

Stones is not fit, clearly playing through injury.

No reason to play him at all injured or not.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

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.

I think part of the problem is that we retain the ball so much instead of sticking it in so it's like it's hard for Haaland to know when they're actually going to cross it. If he wastes all of his runs on possession where we just recycle it, then he's going to be knackered for one, but also he has no element of surprise on the defender.

It's like we're basically asking him to be psychic, which fortunately for us, he often is because he's really good at figuring it out. But I can't blame him for being like "oh right, so now you cross it in?"
