Joelinton not on a yellow is a real surprise

 

[Tuearts right boot]

We've been here before and come out smiling.

Much work to do at half time.

Where to even start with this one...

Entire defense + Rodri abysmal. Bernardo/Foden just as bad. Gundo/KDB getting overrun. Haaland a complete passenger with rather shit hold up play.

Walker actually looks slow and old. If he isn’t injured, how can his body fail him almost overnight? You’d think it would be more gradual.

Pace tends to fall of a cliff. Not saying that is what is going on with Walker but pacy players tends to drop off quickly when it happens

I don't say this often, but thank fuck for HT, that was desperate stuff

 

[skillman]

How many fouls has Joelinton made without a booking?!

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

I think this screams for Alavarez's energy and pressing.

Agree. Think we need a bit more skill up front in this one. A Sergio type player, which Alvarez is.

 

[Eoiyflem]

Absolutely fucking crap. But we've time to redeem ourselves.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Let’s be honest, once again Foden should have played the ball to Haaland. He has to start playing the simple ball - the game would have been close to done at 2-0.
