28 yrs old, in his prime. Honestly, I can't see the logic.

We paid 55 for elanga and about the same for wissa, why would we sell a proven premier league midfielder Who chips in 10+ goals a season for 38m... Good sellers... FFS

Whats the posesión stats? Looked like we had a lot more of the ball and controlled the Game well

He is playing really well for me, seems like a real threat every time he is on the ball!

Two goals were down to him. Just slow, rafinha's pace, the second he shat himself as he couldn't keep up in the area

Still, the 1st half was really equal

Defence has to figure out whether or not to hold a line and play for offside or to drop. 3 goals were just bad decisions and two were glaring mistakes. Can't believe the difference between the two halves.

Tripps IS my Big fear against raphiña... Total mis match. Would have had tino on for sixty tontey and tire himna bit before bringing tripps on for his experience

Overturn a 2-0 advantage to city on their home turf? Not likely. Rest the main players and put the second string out. Rotation 100%

Ekiteke did very well with both. Tripps is very very slow. We haven't played badly, they have some class players, they were never going to be on the back foot the whole half. Changes: Miley for tripps and perhaps Wissa on for elanga

At first glance of the teamsheets It looks like a clear Liverpool win. Tripps looks well off form and our midfields compared to theirs is pretty unevenly matched. I would have preferred the 343 we played midweek... Still, Will be very Happy with a draw or win considering

Insipid play all the way through. We just aren't Creative enough and our play is quite predictable when attacking. I don't think Villa are such great shakes either, 1st goal was amazing bit of individual Will and in the second half we had to push Up and we looked well jaded when their 2nd went in.

Wissa suits us so much more than woltemade, he hangs on the line of the defence and is rapid whereas we seems to be always waiting on woltemade to arrive. If we played a less Direct more possession based Game I think he would really shine. Great touch for the assist tho

Looking at our bench today, when all our players are fit we can actually maintain the level of the team with substitutions. With Burn, Elanga and Osula back we Will have a string 1st team and good options off the bench.

Yep, they were the Lucky side Who the golden chance fell to. Nothing between the sides tbh which is a telling sign for both teams... phhhhsss Complete bag of shi* for a Game, we just don't have enough creativity Up front to break a low block backs to the wall defensive display.
