Austin was poor for their first but was good otherwise, should give Vicario some pointers on dealing with corners honestly.

Porro was good

I thought Gray was poor today, maybe I'm being harsh but he looked like the player he is, an 18 year old playing out of position. Good on the ball but dropped too deep too quick, probably at fault for their second goal.

Dragusin was poor

Spence impressive at CB, shaky first half then most of the team was, we needed a calm head at the back and there just wasn't one.

Bergvall is looking like he might be our up and coming playmaker. Very, very promising and loved that he didn't back down from a scrap.

Sarr was not great

Kulusevski was not great as well

Johnson was the usual which is absent unless he scores and he didn't today.

Werner needs to go, man. It's getting kind of sad now.

Solanke is not getting enough credit because he's so consistently excellent. He's my MOTM today. He is relentless.

Subs were all ok but unspectacular

The weird thing is that our players actually tried to protect Austin and keep opposition players off him at corners. Vicario doesn't get that which has led to numerous occasions when he gets nowhere near the ball. As an example, Arsenal were given a completely free run at Vicario at set pieces and scored as a result. Maybe the coaching has changed but it was quite noticable to me.

First goal was really good and showed why the 2 players involved are above standard PL quality.
Porro great quality on the cross and Solanke good movment + desire to get to it.
Similar to the Savinho/Haaland goal.
