I have a feeling they’re going to have a go against us so the team makes sense in that regard. Should be space for Sterling and Grealish to attack.

Sorry but not having that excuse....others perfom in the same team under the same manager...teh same manager that is rated one of the best if not the best in the world......

Grealish needs to do more in the role he is given....Kun adapted, others have done to....Bernardo dropping really deep to pick balls off the centre half, Cancello playing on the opposite side, foden plays wide when its not truly his posiition. Gbariel Jesus playing almost as a winger earlier in the season.......
No excuse in that repsect for Grealish as here isnt for other players...the onyl viable one for Grealish is that he is taking time to adapt.
He has a start here (again) - lets see him grab the game by the scruff of the neck for once

Gabby prefers to play wide and defensively Cancello hasn't adapted at all.

He was bought on the back of the bums off seats performances at Villa,a player who ran at defences and caused havoc or gained a free kick - that has all stopped here,under instruction,in favour of passing sideways and backwards.......So what was the point in signing him?

There was no point when everyone parks the bus against us and 'winning ' free kicks were never going to wash with refs in this shirt

Hoping it will be Grealish left, Sterling right and Jesus through the middle.

I am hoping it won't be Sterling left, Jesus right and Grealish as false 9.

Good question

He almost did that against Madrid when he came on. Many players seem to need time to adapt their game to Peps style, Ghoulish is no different, he'll be better next year

 

[journolud]

Pity Palmer isn't starting on the right, you just might be pleasantly surprised how good this lad is Pep

Yeah I bet he’s got no idea

 

[BigJoe#1]

You want those who played 120 mins instead ? Way to go dissing him before a ball is kicked

Because he isn't up to the expected standard of many, nothing wrong with expressing a view in a forum is there?

Surely you can see peps put the reigns on him so far? He’s been in the team to do a job and on the whole he’s done that. Haters gotta hate I suppose though
