Yes, and here you are crying about it dumbass. You clearly have a problem with comprehension, so I'll make it simpler for you. I don't want people that piss and moan all the time whining to me about pissing and moaning. Now fuck off.

No idea what happens with this guy going forward, but the manager will have to figure it out. Really useful helping protect against counters, but every other area leaves a lot to be desired.

"Being a helmet" All this forum is, is pissing and moaning. But dare to not be onside with the masses, and then the crying starts! I'm sure you'll get over it, because I'll continue to do as I please thanks.

Stop crying You guys get to bitch endlessly with every misstep he has. Let me have my fun

Think he's going to be really good. Always felt it was just a case of getting his sharpness back. Very confident assertive performance, and outshone Tonali in that midfield pairing.

Great showing. Caused a bunch of problems after he came on and put Barnes in position to win it twice. Can only imagine how alive with fume this thread would be if he was the one that didn't take either of those chances. Instead, and unsurprisingly, it's quite serene in here

Ramsey was fantastic.

Great performance. Great game. Should have won it.

He just cannot miss that man. No idea why he was so off balance either. Got too excited.

Barnes was onside .... Oh my God ... That is shocking.

Brilliant from Gordon and Barnes. Unlucky.

Tonali is terrible.

Well worked goal. Well done Burn and Willock.

Tonali and these awful first time passes man. My God.

Nice casual jog back for Tonali. And there's that big fat gap in front of the defence again.

Going forward Joelinton has to be more of a situational player that starts games where we need more bite and resilience. Don't think he can be looked at as a first teamer anymore as his body just won't hold up.

Speaking of giving youth a chance, where on Earth is the Park kid?! Considering how good he looked in pre season, I can't believe he hasn't had the odd cameo at some point.

And here is where any further discussion will no longer be necessary If you truly believe we progress the ball forward just fine as a team then all the best man.

Well we didn't sign a 6 did we, because Tonali is not one, certainly not in the way this team sets up. He was originally played as an 8 too, because that's where the manager was looking to have him play. You seem to think just because it worked last season it should just work now as a given. It's not working anymore for whatever reason, whether that's teams having made adjustments to pressure Tonali more, or him having just been in rare form previously. You say scoring goals is the problem, without recognising a large part of that is all the initial work the midfield should be doing in the lead up to that. Instead they can barely get the ball up the pitch. Fine. Lets keep going as is. We'll soon see where the team ends up.

How do you think Tonali has looked playing where he is currently this season? If he's not going to get another go at playing as an 8, and Bruno is preferred further up, then Tonali needs to be out of the team and replaced by Miley in that deeper position.

It's been doing my head in all season man. Can't bare to watch the same pattern unfold each game anymore. For the love of God can we try something different!!!

It's clearly working so well. Also, are you saying that when Bruno played deeper he didn't influence games going forward? Clearly not the case right? Also Tonali mostly played in a pair at Milan, while for Italy he plays as an 8. The current setup is not working. Are we just going to really leave it like this because Tonali makes a few recovery tackles each game, while we keep conceding goals and failing to get a hold off any kind of control of games in midfield?!!!

Villa ran through the team anyway. On top of that we were unconvincing going forward and hardly generated anything convincing thanks to how ineffective the midfield was. It's okay though. We'll all just keep watching this happen every week.

The team is so bad at getting the ball up the pitch through midfield that it just gets put under constant pressure anyway, and is conceding goals anyway as a result. But sure I guess. Keep playing him there to defend against transitions.

Did you read my post? I'm pretty certain I addressed what you are now asking me here?
