Maybe he’s the only Italian in existence that doesn’t give a shit about food?

 

Used to have a mate that said he didn’t like food. It wasn’t like a disorder or anything, he just couldn’t be arsed with it. Weird.

Yes I had a mate the same.  He, like me, loved his holidays.  I would ask what the restaurants were like and the food in general in the various holiday resorts he would frequent.  His response used to blow me away.  "Well food is just for nourishment and feeding your hunger".  Fucking total weirdo!

Ya I realize he was losing the ball a bit towards the end but feel like last season someone has a lie down and we talk that out. 

He did which is why I understood Eddie taking him off. Had ran his socks off.

Dont mind subbing him off last night, ran his socks off and was getting a bit sloppy by the end.

 

Got to get him up to fitness though, because he is essential to our team now. Subbing Longstaff on for him made us fall completly apart.

I feel like Howe withdrew to save his legs but it completely fucked us. He's becoming an absolute essential cog.

longstaff coming on (I’d have brought on Anderson as he’s been immense in the summer) lost us the game.

This is the nail on the head, the drop off from Tonali to longstaff was huge. Anderson would’ve been a much better option IMO.

I did notice his delivery went a bit awry towards the end but he will quickly become one of the first names on the sheet, he is made for this league. I would have much preferred to see Anderson also, as stated above

I would've kept him but he was the worst of the 3 on the ball, like, which was a smaller contributing factor to our waning control. Worst pass completion rate by a margin and it's not like he was consistently attempting really difficult ones either.

 

But the main difference between him and Longstaff is off the ball. Longstaff is very hard working but not exactly disciplined, he gets caught in bad spots quite often and has to make lung-busting recovery runs. Tonali is much more thoughtful and is a better athlete for when we're on the turn.

 

Their first goal comes from Jota doing what Foden did last weekend, drifting inside. Feel like if Tonali is there and that doesn't happen the same way.

We need an out and out DMC in the squad somewhere. I understand the whole comcept of sharing the load with inter changing between Tonali, Bruno and Joe however in circumstances like yesterday were you can bring on a fresh DMC to protect a lead is vital. Hes also vital in starting certain games like against City last week due to them playing between the lines in the final third. The DMC doesnt have to be elite as none would sign for limited game time but someone good enough to fill a hole when needed.

Could kind of understand taking Isak off for Wilson but removing him and Gordon was absolute madness and has ultimately cost us. Thought he was the best of our 3 midfielders by some way.

I I think people are lacking the ability to think critically more deeply and analyse what happened. Too many simpletons saying “wrong subs changed the game” and similar

Game clearly swung in their favour after the subs. Anyone who watched it could see that tbh. Gordon was terrorising them and Tonali was helping us keep relative control of the game. Lost all that when they went off.

Anyone with eyes could see that Gordon was tiring also

 

easy to be so clever in hindsight

Tonali was getting sloppy, probably fatigued, he gave the ball away 3 or 4 times in a short space of time, could see the sub a mile off.
