Tino Livramento

Absolutely love that shimmy for the second goal before he delivers. Just a shift of the hips and feet and leaves him for dead. Could watch it all day.

The ball he delivered for the goal was ridiculous for a fullback crossing with his wrong foot. Not many players would even attempt it. 

Honestly think his crossing with his left is better than his right.  Those little dinkers.  
 

With his right he seems to smash them in.  Think he crosses from further out on the right which doesn’t help. That overlapping run on the edge of the box from Barnes into him is unstoppable. 
 

Barnes also uses his fullback much better than Gordon.

He's starting to play with a conviction that was lacking before. He's not the most refined of players but he's now using his power effectively.

Yeah, not sure how best to put it, but seems to have so much focus and intensity recently, rather than seeming relaxed / not at full pelt. Feel like his unreal physical attributes are being used well

 

Thought Hall had a similar transformation in terms of this 'intensity', comparing last season to this season, and it's something I'm hoping Miley can show next season too

Good point on Miley. At our best all of our players are sharp. On top of the opposition’s first touch. Aggressive.  Miley doesn’t have that.  I think a lot of it is physical but also it’s a mentality. 
 

I thought as a whole we weren’t as on top of Man U in the first half as we could be physically.  Thats why we are often good against teams that come out and play and try to meet us gun for gun.  Thats why I was so confident against Man U and confident against Chelsea - they’ll come to play but they’re not good enough physically or technically to beat us at our best.  Actually more likely to get blown away. 

[Ginola]

Another brilliant performance from this man

[r0cafella]

Tino is playing out of his skin, the athleticism is up with Tonalis and his attacking output has improved since shifting flanks as well. 

 

Made up for him. 

[Menace]

He's got a similar engine to Sandro - he's been absolutely outstanding.

Not as good at striking a ball, but he has the directness and pace.

No. 

 

Totally different players.

[Displayname]

What on earth are we going to do if he goes back to being uninspiring if/when he returns to RB? 

Hope its just a confidence thingy.

[HawK]

I think his pace is deceptive, he never really looks like he's bombing about but he knows how fast he is and he does things like knocking the ball a few feet in front of him even with players close by because he's got the strength and burst of speed always there to prevent getting robbed of the ball.

The biggest change in him being on the left is that if/when Barnes/Gordon cut in, he has so much space to run into. He doesnt get that as much on the right with Murphy, which is why I think a more inverted RW will be on the cards and will help him massively.

Gareth Bale is as a clean a striker of the ball as you can find in the game.

The Tinomator after playing the rest of that match after that

[M1tche]

I was bricking it when he went down, glad he's "ok". Although I did notice him whince when blocking a cross a little after, so hope he can play next week, as need him 1 on 1 with Saka

What happened? I didn’t properly see it? Nasty fall? He looked battered and bruised by the end 

[Smal]

he definitely started pulling out of challenges after that. I don’t blame him, it must be pretty traumatic when anything happens with his knee.

 

Hope he’s ok for next week.

[joeyt]

Thought he was sensational first half

[huss9]

has to be englands 1st choice FB either side.

[The Butcher]

Still can't believe his knee didn't explode. Looked so bad at the time.

Aye. Annoying how many times Chelsea did similar fouls backing in when there was aerial duels. So dangerous.

Dirty pricks kept doing it and the ref didn't do anything about it

[Elma]

Wouldn't be surprised if he has done some damage even though he played on. Was convinced he'd done his ACL again when he went down and didn't move.

 

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious as he definitely didn't seem too comfortable after it happened.

We do a fair bit of that ourselves to be honest so I'll take that as part of the business...

 

Thought he had a great game, particularly considering the incident.
