Mac Allister was good I thought. Wirtz as the third (high) midfielder is a huge issue against good sides. Or bad ones.

He’ll start in midweek. Hope he rips it up. We need him too over the next while.

I think if you look at the relative quality of the German League, and the decline of their National team over the past decade, you’ll get close to the answer. Not a single German team, Bayern aside, would get into a European place in the Premier League imho, and Bayern wouldn’t get into the CL.

Edith Wharton would be better than any of our £100m plus signings, and she’s been dead ninety years.

Set pieces were poor, but his general early passing was sharp enough I thought. One time he midcontrolled the ball about 10 yards though, which was awful.

He was a mouse. The last thing we need is a mouse. Must be better. Must do better.

I’m his biggest critic but he worked really hard today, A lot of our best work in the first 20 had him heavily involved in it, but after that on the ball he was mostly terrible. He has loads of issues, Lack of pace, lack of physicality, zero confidence. He has to be sold for his own good as well as ours.

He was impressive today.

Doku was very very good when he came on, sadly.

We’ll win more trophies in the next five years than they will. I like Iraola. He had loads of problems to deal with today and he found a practical solution to most of them. Give him a fully fit squad and a couple more players and I’ve no worries about him. Thought Wirtz worked his balls off despite not playing brilliantly by the way.

Those City players and manager have no class at all.
