Thought he was much better today, easily MotM and deserved a pen without a shadow of a doubt.
Hate that honesty isn't rewarded and then shitbags that dive get given gifts, refs need to have a word with themselves. How is a free-kick can be called back after about 4 or 5 touches but Cou got impeded and then had the shot blocked, which he would have got off without the foul, and then the advantage isn't brought back.
It wasn't an advantage in basic terms. Not blaming the defeat on that but it would have clearly changed the game, so we'll never know.
Loved some of his passing, one especially to Milner I think it was, where the weight on the pass was incredible judgement. Can't help but feel if he just wouldn't shoot so often that he could be truly world class. His shooting is pure class but his passing is on a different level completely. When he's in that form and that touch just give him the ball. Feel sorry for him that he's had to endure a year of Milner on the overlap, he chose not to shoot once and back-heeled to Milner and put him in the box unmarked on the edge and Milly just wasted it completely. It's no wonder you lose confidence in team-mates at that point.
Please god he stays this summer and please god we get a left-back who can interplay with him because we've been criminally let down in that department all season in my opinion.
