Sandro Tonali

[nemtizz]

Gattuso/Pirlo hybrid my ass.

[Joelinton7]

Did well 

[Donut]

Loves a pass that allows the opposition to score.

[gbandit]

Calm down lads, everyone’s allowed a pope game and he had it tonight 

[TRon]

Use your squad Eddie. Keeps players like this getting complacent.

Allows us to get beat a lot more easily though

[Jordan]

Doesn’t look good in a 2 with Bruno who’s so out of form it’s unreal. 

[Smal]

thought Tonali was fine/good tbh. One of our better performers.

Tonali is one of my favourite players, I just think our players would be a bit sharper if they weren't taking their places for granted. I think Howe could use his squad more effectively but obviously I'm not a pro and he is.

[Myleftboot]

He should have came off before that tired pass that led to the goal with him being injured previously.

But Miley is literally the only competent midfielder we have who isn't starting every game.

No chance Longstaff would've given the ball away in a dangerous area

I think Miley is more than good enough to rotate with anyone, including Tonali and Bruno.

I agree, but that's not really a squad, it's one decent (extremely young) player. 

 

"Eddie use your squad..." implies he has a lot more options that he's not using. 

[kingxlnc]

This is why we need a deeper squad. No competition for places and everyone is tired

The direct alternative is Longstaff. We know what the reaction would be if he dropped Tonali for Longstaff, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

Out of the starting midfielders tonight, it’s Bruno that needs dropping on current form not Tonali. We can’t afford to drop either imo. 

[Crimson Cardigan]

Failed to track back for the first goal, hugely disappointing overall. At the start of the season I’d have picked Bruno and Tonali over Slob and McCallister but on tonight’s evidence the latter are streets ahead.
