Aye this mate. Have been beating this drum almost too much. It’s even more obvious when we are tired. To get to the next level we will have to change our style slightly. Naturally we will evolve and become more of a possession based team. Even if not to the degree as a team like City.

Once we get even better and stronger, with more technically gifted players that will allow us to control games and possession. Then it’s the perfect time to play him with a very strong eleven against lesser teams. The team being stronger and more in control with higher quality around him will do the world of good for him and allow him to grow steadily. He will then become even more assured and be more involved. It will then be much easier for him not having to feel to much responsibility but just playing it simple and growing with the feeling that he belongs. Think this would be the best way to start. With time he will grab more of the cake flourish. Not very easy coming into a game like Bournemouth where we are extremely fatigued and poor overall at his age. Yet I thought he was one of our best players. This might be the worst thing ever mentioned on this forum. The point above makes me think of those smaller fishes that hitchhike with a Great White. Let him be that fish with the big boys until he becomes a great white himself He will learn so much and grow from it. And we can afford him to be that little fish when we are further ahead.

The ones responsible for the development of this are out injured. Hamstrings.

Fair play

Hard to judge him today as most of our players were shite and we looked awful overall because of various reasons. Against Dortmund he got a yellow early on, and that also was a massive game for someone so inexperienced as well. Give it time and judge later.

Looked poor in the centre too.

Injuries obviously. But also a lack of focus and perhaps even going in to the game thinking it was gonna be easier. Some of the players haven’t even played THAT much this season.

No! Wrong! He goes down too easily and ref has it spot on!

Poor finish.

Joelinton has been on the glue.

Joelinton is so clumsy at times. Too often.

Longstaff get up ffs!

Come on!!!!!

Can already see that he has better technical qualities and awareness then. All our other midfielders var Bruno and Tonali (once he comes good)

Imo we try some things that are too difficult instead of prioritising to keep it more simple and be less wasteful. To gain some control of the game.

Tired or not some of the technical quality has been very very poor. Miley has looked good.

We look shite today.

Barely played. Was good against ManU. I’m sure he will come good with time. And I mean very good.

Trigger the crowd! Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal for a few seconds. Pathetic.

Really hoping that Miley has a thunder bastard of a game coming off age.

A reverse Oba Oba!

Good to see Hall get another chance after his unfortunate yellow card.

Trafford as commanding in goal like Shane Ferguson in a cage fight.

Going down too easily

It’s a disgrace!!!
