Just spotted that Robbo isn't playing either. More defensive back line with the CMs given licence to create?
Started very poorly. What's with all the rotation all of a sudden... Reminds me of the Rafa days. We won the title by not rotating.
vvd Gomez back from long term injuries. Matip known for breaking down so needs to be managed. Taa ill. Surprised Robbo is on the bench with league cup game coming up but maybe has a slight knock.
Reminds me of the games vs Burnley and Norwich. They're pushing us and we're scrambling at the back looking Shakey but then quickly strike back. This doesn't look the dominant performances like against Leeds and Chelsea. One goal and the game will change. We're beginning to be better than Palace now.
Milner Thiago and Tsimikas the three players of ours making the difference on the field. The others all look pretty rusty.
Jota has been training with Mane and taking tips on how to miss this week. Absolutely should have been a goal there. Overall not been impressed with our front line (especially Jota). Defence and Midfield are in control of this game now though.
I have a feeling if we score one we'll score three. Just need that first one to go in. The game has followed the same script as Burnley and Norwich... Scary start where we are lucky to escape unscathed and then slowly taking control as the game goes on. Mane just scored!
