Ancelotti is no dummy, wily old ****

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Not great. The start was awful. What was Dias doing for that goal? Foden not involved and Grealish no end product. Need to change the shape.

 

[gomer27]

Haaland needs to step it up. He’s been so poor up top

 

[Brewster's millions]

We have been better, but those first 10 minutes were awful from us. Lethargic and like we were scared they would score.

If we would have started with this level of intensity we would be ahead.

We were sleepwalking into that goal - really strange start from us.

 

[Chak19]

Once again we go behind in a game we totally dominated, it's very similar to what Liverpool have doing all season, at some point the comebacks will stop, I just hope it's not this game.

Id sub walker for stones put akanji RB and swap Phil and Bernardo positions

 

[Dax777]

Foden been in the form of his life so Pep puts him in a position that makes him anonymous.

Akanji can't play the midfield roll so he puts him in midfield

Not working Pep. Got to sort it.

Akanji has been fantastic. But I'll co-sign the Foden playing out wide is nonsense. Move Bernardo outside where he can possess the ball better. Play Foden and Kev in the middle.


Not Rocket science Pep.

 

[Trickyblues]

I wonder why Pep thinks it fair to put Akanji in the “John stones role” when he’s obviously not as good at it. And that’s no criticism of Akanji because he is a centre back after all

 

[pudge]

A shot on target would be nice

Boneheaded by Walker for their goal and for the stupid decision to kick towards their fans for the second half

 

[MarsLlama]

Feel oddly relaxed about this. We’ve been the better team, I think we’ll get the goal second half. Or not. Can’t expect to win it every year.
