More of the same thing that we’ve already seen this season.
Defence look suspect, midfield looks sluggish and we’re not as clinical as we once were.
We need to sign proper competition for trent, hopefully the young lad from Scotland will do that.
Virgil isn’t the same player. He’s lost a yard of pace.
Thought gomez did ok today but the sooner matip is back in the better.
Elliott once again looked a real talent but he faded in the second half. Carvalho couldn’t get into the game and it’s my suspicion he might have wanted to go off.
Salah isn’t the salah of old and it’s difficult to understand why. It seems to be a lot easier for other teams to mark him out the game now. He was barely involved again today.
Said it before but I’m not impressed with nunez. That doesn’t mean I’m writing him off, but with any player you can usually tell immediately if they’re a top player by their touch, technique etc, and he just looks clumsy to me. Jota starts ahead of him every single time in my team.
And diaz. A real player no doubt but he blows hot and cold. Can go 10, 15, 20 mins a time without touching the ball. So far, he isn’t as consistent as mane was who was always a constant menace.
With all that said, we still should have won the game. I don’t buy into pickford having a great game, I think it was more poor finishing from us. But so far this season we’ve haven’t looked anywhere near our usual level. Currently, it’s a top four race for us.
