Curtis is looking good I thought. A sloppy pass there but he's certainly no more guilty than anyone else

Jones has never been great passer and this becomes obvious when he's only the edge of the box but I like having him in the side currently. He's our Gini replacement
 
Jones can be brilliant at times. He's got great technique. His passing ability isn't too shabby either. The guy does the work in midfield, he runs he defends etc.
My problem with him is the same as it was 3 years ago when he started appearing more regularly, he still holds on to the ball for too long! I'm literally screaming at the TV.
He's a ballhog. I mean yeah Salah is too, but he's afforded that luxury on the wing. Fucking Cujo is slowing us down and then loses the ball as well.
 
Matip has been superb.
Jones good in tight spots but looks slightly unfit.
Salah has been good but starved of space and the ball.
Diaz for Jota please and gravy for Jones.
 
We’ve been okay, but our midfield including Trent have no real influence on the game.

I would be tempted to keep Trent in RB to give him some space to create. Dom needs to get involved, as well.

Brilliant is a stretch. He is an above average player at best.

If he is losing possession or passing to City players, he might as well be off because he does not do much else other than being a tidy player.
 
Curtis isnt matchfit. Sub him off at half time
He's been awful - Gravenberch on ASAP please.

A word for Tsimikas - I was really worried for him vs Foden & Walker but he's done really well.

We are well in this. Of course City are going to have chances but we are definitely a danger too, and not just on the break. Next goal is soooo important.

Tsimi has done well because they'd rather attack Trent and Matip over Tsimi and Van Dijk.
 
Matip has been our best player like

Rodri and Bernardo bossing it, unfortunately. Need a change in midfield early in the 2nd half
 
For the goal, I thought Matip was with someone else and Virgil should have got tighter to Haaland.
Thank you! Van Dijk was the one who had eyes on Haaland. Matip was worried that if he stepped up and tried to challenge Ake, he'd be leaving even more space behind him.
Honestly, our defence just wasn't organised.
The goal was caused by Alison but should have been prevented by Szobo and Trent. Just fucking foul him or whatever.
Look at it again, Trent just dangles his leg there.
 
We must pass the ball back to the keeper more often than any other side in the league, I'd actually like to see the numbers of this somewhere.

The number of times we needlessly put Ali in ridiculously pressurized situations is a joke.....we take far far too much time on the ball and then you invite the press from the opposition.
