Another great ball across from Elanga ... Osula on his toes and Barnes absent at the far post.

Ah! Nice play. Osula man! Unlucky ...

Ramsey has to do better there. What an opportunity that was to break.

What the hell was that from Barnes just then?!

Yup once we start to fatigue and the intensity drops, then their ability to keep the ball will start to tell. Especially as they can bring on more quality, while we can't really.

Hall overdoing it there. Be careful man.

That would have been a goal. He's onside. Great save.

Ah, well ... had to rotate I guess. Nice start but just couldn't hold up defensively with Woltemade and Willock having to chase them around, just not their strength at all and couldn't carry both of them against this calibre of opposition. They'll take it out on Barca mid week.

Can't keep the ball for more than 10 seconds.

What the hell is that set piece man. What a fucking waste.

We can't get the ball ...

Just can't do anything against this lot without the first choice midfield three in there to compete for the ball. Painful watching the likes of Woltemade and Willock in there trying to close down and win the ball this game.

Why didn't he just put Osula on the right and take Willock off man.

The midfield is non existent defensively. Just sad.

Especially against a team this good with the ball. It's really unfortunate that he's played there twice against this lot. I suppose there weren't too many other options today, with the game against Barca looming.

Woltemade and Willock have been really poor. Just not the right sort of game to start both as two of the midfield three.

Get Willock off please.

Willock is so easy to go by man. So so soft.

Both Woltemade and Willock struggling defensively. Just can't stay with their men.

They don't really watch him, but have seen his name in the media linked with certain clubs and so base it on that.

Only Miley has this sort of nous and temperament in this whole squad. Everyone else is 100 miles an hour all the time.

Joelinton threatening to deck Kolo Toure.

Willock has switched over to the left to help out defensively it looks like.

Willock, why bring that back inside to the defender?

Tonali has to lift that over the top to Elanga.
