Nobody Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 1 minute ago, Peppe said: So the CL/EL teams can't be drawn against each other?

I thought Tonali and Barnes both shone, Livramento was positive when he came on and Longstaff was actually solid. Bruno wasn't at his best, Joelinton will admit that was a poor one from him and Gordon still looks like he's way off his best too. Hopefully it all starts to click soon. Sunday it will click!

Shearergol Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Bruno needs a CB behind him who he can trust to both receive the ball from him and get it back to him. You could tell he really struggled tonight with only fullbacks to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest positive for me in that game was Barnes, he was very good in a game where lots of players were struggling. Tonali was class obviously, better than we had any right to expect.

Shadow Puppets Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Mixed performance. Played well until Willock went off. Lost our way, and then picked up again for the last 20 mins. All in all though a pretty positive first 3 games of the season, especially considering we aren’t out of 1st gear yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Lots to be a bit pensive/irked about in our play, gaps we are still leaving in the middle, poor finishing and final balls, but some really nice passages of play at the start and end of the game. All that is eclipsed by the Sandro love at the end. Beautiful stuff and hopefully a real boost for everyone. It made me forget any of the shitness! Praying for a reasonable draw and a breakthrough or 3 or 4 in the transfer market over the next couple of days! Man City away and no signings it is then..
