Looked off it again and correctly removed at half time by the manager.

 

Not sure what's up but something is, he just doesn't look himself and hasn't for the last handful of games.

 

Maybe a rest is needed, seems to have worked wonders for Joelinton having a few weeks off. Should try not to use him for the cup at the weekend if we can as a starting point.

I said two months ago that he needed a vacation. 

 

Couple of days in Benidorm will sort him out, The Stag Man will make him a canny dinna.

I don't think his levels are that much different currently to his best form from last season, definitely movement, defensive actions and application hasn't really changed, but mentality and how careless/profligate he can be in possession is being magnified when he's slightly off and some easy passes end up as comically bad brainfarts. Also, probably by instruction, he tries to break lines with over the top balls but sort of blindly chips it to no one and it looks utterly abject when it doesn't come off. He's never been a metronome, and always tries to play fast, you either accept it or put Miley in his spot really. Positionally, him intertwining more with Bruno tactically has confused the shape a bit, it's a bit more chaos ball when building from the back, and it's why Thiaw or even Schar can come unstuck when no options are in front of them. Also, midfielders have a time finding forward players as they're having difficulty finding space (or trying to move at all in Gordon's case) which doesn't help any of the CMs.

 

Eddie and Sandro will sort it. Due a goal too.

 

Shows you what a minor drop off can do though. Hope it isn't related to him having his head turned but we'll cross that bridge this summer. James Garner for 90 mil replacement should do the trick...

Honestly think he's just a bit anxious about his first bairn being born, he's an emotional man and I hope he gets a week off when the bairn is born and he comes back in Daddy beast mode.

Thought he was ok tbh.

Miley, who was good again at RB didn’t really improve upon Tonali with the position switch and sub (that’s a compliment to Miley as much as a defence of Sandro).
