Not blaming Kyle for either goal. First one he was left with two players and it was a wonder strike, that one started with mistake from Doku. Second one all on Dias, lost ball the middle and we were short at the back again.

We’re handing them this one. Better finishing and not handing them counter attacks and we win this easy.
and thats the point. He had sloppy moments this half, but could not done much more with goals (maybe being quickly closer to a Gordon, I thought he delayed it a bit to much to get quickly to Gordon), is solid enough on ball + assist

Probably a dozen things that went wrong on both goals so it's not all his fault, but he was noticeably out of position for both imo
 
Don't know why Walker is getting so much shit either. He hasn't been great but everything that's come at us, has initially come from our left.

Gvardiol looks lost defending.

He’s being asked to play further forward than Phil and then people are shocked he’s not the first man back in the defensive line.

Doesn’t matter how fast you are, you can’t beat the ball, and they can hoof it to Gordon far quicker than anyone can go from hanging around the opposition box to defending their own.

But he’s been in the tabloids so people are desperately looking to attack him for something.
 
Very frustrating half that, it’s like the game here last season…went a goal up then 2-1 down. Bernie blew that big chance to make it 2-0 by going for the glory finish when he had time to bring it down and play Phil in.
Dreadful defending from us on the break.
Doku and Gvardiol not proving to be a good combo down the left so far.
Need to get out of here with a point. Had so many chances to break through their centre and have lost possession
