    Joelinton

    Also dispossessed 5 times, versus 1 for Willock and 0 for Longstaff. Thought it was his poorest game for a while.
  2. I think both ASM and Willock will be on the bench soon enough, if everyone else is fit/free of suspension.
  3. We'd abandoned it midway through the second half. Joelinton moved to the right with Longstaff back in the middle.
  4. Pope 6 - they had one shot on target and it went in, he had nowt to do otherwise. Trippier 6 - slightly below par but still very tidy overall, penalised a bit due to the goal. Schär 7 - had a good battle with Antonio but got to grips with him, could've done more in possession. Botman 7 - stood up to Antonio very well, but offered even less in possession than Schär. Burn 5 - one of those games where he stands out like a sore thumb offensively, and missed the ball on the goal. Willock 6 - different story if that first goal stands, but didn't gel very well with Miggy and Trippier when on the right. Longstaff 7 - easily the pick of the midfield three, cracking assist, and never shied away. 0 tackles and 0 interceptions yet again, though. Joelinton 6 - started brilliantly but got dragged down to the levels around him, and lost the ball too often. Almirón 6 - really busy and retained the ball well, but in terms of attacking threat he was pretty non-existent. Wilson 7 - got his goal but should've had at least one more, though his all-round play was better than it has been for a while. Saint-Maximin 5 - Gordon showed him up something rotten tonight offensively, but he at least put a shift in and contributed defensively. -- Gordon 8 - quality impact, looked razor sharp and linked well with teammates given he'll have only had one full training session. Murphy 6 - about as Murphy a cameo as could've happened, some canny and some downright bad. Anderson 6 - got on the ball and tried to make things happen, didn't really look out of place.
  5. Wonder if we might see some 4-2-3-1 action again to try and overload their two CMs if it doesn’t change?
  6. Antonio is a right nuisance, like, Schär in particular struggling with him, but Botman’s had a few moments too. Let’s see how we come out second half, we can’t be that poor again. What a ball from Longstaff btw, class that.
  7. Crying out for Targett, there’s no build up out left whatsoever.
  8. Rice is quality, mind. Go Go Gadget legs.
