Hmmm....some very good and some pretty poor performances there.
Gundo was awful and cost us a 2nd goal at 1-0.
Ederson.....here's the deal...one of the biggest divers in the PL is coming towards you and guess what, he's going to come in close and then make it look like he's been clipped so he falls over and gets a pen. What do you not want your GK to do....go to ground and get too close to him to give him that opportunity...stay on your feet and try and force him wide....don't dive at him and allow him to fall over... Made the same costly mistake at Anfield last season with Nunez. Makes so many bad decisions when it comes to 50/50's...is there another player in our side who makes so many wrong decisions and mistakes so regularly and yet his place is never in doubt?
Great 1st half from Grealish and Walker but both faded 2nd half, Walker sleeping with the offside line for the pen build up (quelle surprise)
Phil looked sharper when he came on...Savinho caused them problems (Doku did not)
Gvardiol was excellent, as were Akanji and Dias.
Not much creativity from those in central midfield....Rico looked a bit lost at times but worked his socks off as usual
7 points from 9 from away games at Chelsea, WHU and Newcastle is actually pretty decent and I'd have taken that at outset.
Hopefully no injuries and we move on, looked like we might have nicked it at the end as well which was a good sign.
