Creative for sure. We very rarely see this kind of thing from managers though. Wouldn't rule anything out from Ange but I don't expect him to throw in a youngster against haaland unless he really has toI think I would be tempted to bring on Dorrington for Bryan, playing Emerson RB and pushing Porro up to RM to help with Doku. Either that or PEH for Bryan, Kulu RM, Johnson left.
City just too strong for him. He can do a job for us.
I think we know that with GLC. We’re all still trying to work BG out I think.Plenty of people happy to judge Gil on this game, but he's at least showing for the ball trying to make things happen even if he's struggling. Lo Celso just drifts around, no tackles, no dribbles, no shots, through balls... just very very quiet
Not impressed with Gil.
That's nonsense. Played almost every game for Sevilla in his loan spell. Called up to the Spain squad this year. Obviously has quality but he's not cut out for the Premier LeagueHe's got no real redeemable quality other than a bit of trickery imo. Can't control a ball, can't see a pass and is easily muscled off the ball.
For the next 10mins until the 2nd half startsWe're still in it
As lovely as the football is to watch, we'll only be effective with amazing centre halves (basically clones of Micky van de Ven who are strong, fast and can also play out). Essential that we get the right player who meets all 3, pay £60-70m if we have to.Emerson and Davies obviously both having absolute howlers. Not their fault. Bissouma has been disappointing however, which hasn't helped us play out.
Is he a winger? Same Q for Santiago?Or go completely nuts and bring on Donley. To dare is to do. They know nothing about him. A wild card. And if he doesn't play well, no one will be mad at a 18 year old kid.
It's the end product from Gil. Just when you think he's done really well he makes the worst choice on offerI thought he started ok, and was really getting involved. Since then he's been really poor.
Just looking at him, he took a knock and was limping for a bit the last 5 mins he looked to be strugglingITK?
If we had a full strength team we would still have a lack of proven quality sat on the bench.I don’t feel that upset about things. If we had a full strength team and not a makeshift defence I’d be a bit more disappointed.
PS. Atmosphere worst In the league ?
