Very lucky to get the three points today. In fairness to Leeds, they had a go and played some good stuff at times but if we were anywhere near our best then we would have comfortably beaten them by 4 or 5.
Ali - Seen some posts criticising him which I find a little harsh. Donāt think he could have done anything for any of the goals. You can have the best keeper in the world but if the defence infront of you is f**king sh*t then thereās not much you can do.
Trent - thought he had a very poor game by his usual high standards. All over the place at times and his delivery was poor too. He looked a yard off the pace to me.
Gomez - dreadful. Iāve felt hes been in poor form for a while actually but tonight it was school boy defending from him. Really sh*t at times. Iād consider putting matip in for the time being and give him a bit of a kick up the arse.
Virgil - also sh*te and the second Leeds goal was completely down to him. He had to take control of the situation and he made a complete mess of it. He did score though.
Robertson - only defender who can take any real credit today. Decent going forward, delivery was good, and donāt remember him making any defensive errors.
Henderson - Looked off the pace. Poor. Shouldnāt have started. Right decision dragging him off.
Gini - Donāt remember him being on the pitch in all honesty other than a shocking miss in the second half that would have made the score 4-2.
Keita - I thought he was our best midfielder. Didnāt do anything of note particularly but I never felt he was having a poor game either. Unlucky to be subbed.
Mane - He had an off day today. Nothing fell for him. Sloppy on the ball at times. Itās the worst game Iāve seen him have for a very long time. Nothing to worry about. Happens to everyone.
Bobby - worried about him though. Like Gomez Iāve felt his form has been pretty sh*t for a while now. I was never bothered whether he scored or not because he was always heavily involved in games regardless, but these days you barely notice him.
Salah - Back to his best today. Canāt believe there is a post above that says they didnāt think he did much. Not only did he score a hat trick, everything went through him today and he was a constant threat/menace all game. He literally carried us to three points today.
To summarise, sh*te performance but we got the points which is all that matters. We need to get a grip though. Weāve gone from having a solid defence to being ridiculously easy to score past. Get back to treating every game like itās a cup final rather than turning up expecting to slap everyone 5-0.
