Nations League

[Neville Kneville]

Hes doing what he can in this Ukraine team, but they are overall outclassed by Spain.

Not his fault, hes had some good passing but Spain are dominating.

Nah. I can't agree with that.

They're shit but he has been the least involved player on either side. He's not even been close enough to play, to be shit.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Nice finish from Gundogan.

 

[SebastianBlue]

They don't seem to either defend or attack, just sort of 'there' apart from Zinchenko who isn't really there.

A lot of that — for me, anyway — has been down to them not knowing whether to stick or twist with Fati and Navas’ overlaps and our quick midfield play.

We (City) often do this to middling teams, as well. It’s when our fullback play was off last season that we often suffered most in that regard. Teams could play more freely and close down our midfielders without fear of allowing the runs around the back.

I think their individual defenders can't actually defend though, especially the fullback. Not that Cancelo would fare any better.

The other lot Spain played, the other night, were much much better.

Not required in this game.

Wanted to see how he’d perform against Germany. I can only wish him well anyway.

I think our team today is much better than the one the other night. ;-)

[Josh_D]

He is a different player. Not sure I would say *very*, though.

I have said many times that Rodri has the potential to be as “good” and influential as Busquets was generally, however.

Hopefully.

Toooooo... sloooooow...

Well Ukraine were dogshit & Zinchenko has managed to be the least important player on the pitch.

Think I'll watch Gundogan.

He’s actually looking very good in this German team.
