I wonder how we plan to create chances for Isak. He doesn't really come deep and both of our wide forwards cut in 9 times out of 10. That just doesn't work and we'll never get him on the ball in the box playing like that. There's no space for him and and he's not winning many headers against big centre backs.
We waited all summer for him so you'd assume we've thought it through.
Mbappe has 18 goals in 14 appearances this season and we didn't give him a sniff.
Impeccable defending across the back four (I'll forgive Konate giving the ball away about 8 times because he defended brilliantly).
Two consecutive clean sheets against strong opposition. Plenty to build on here.
Loved everything about that. Created lots of opportunities and gave nothing away.
Mo looked sharp and determined. Wirtz brilliant. Dom an absolute monster.
And Bradley’s best game of the season. Had Vinicius in his pocket all night.
Great half from us. All over them. Agressive press and quick, crisp passing. Wirtz has been great. Dom is everywhere.
If the ref could stop getting in our way that would be lovely.
Much better.
Some tough fixtures coming up but this was a performance to build on. Slow start but we grew into it and showed some fight. Pressed well at times and felt like we had more control than we've had in recent weeks.
Szobo looked exhausted at the end. Hope he's ready for the next two.
