    We're playing a bit too conservative, and look laboured. We need to use the ball more liberally, reform our strategy or the Scottish nationals may be having a party, while we feel sickly green.

    My main take from that is that women shouldn’t be allowed in pubs during important football matches.

    We still look a bit slow at times, but that was a much much better half.

    much more cohesion and were actually playing to saka’s strengths

    more of the same second half, just would like to see us speed it up a bit from out of the back

    There’s no way they’ll be this **** second half. Expecting the big Gallagher for Mainoo change on 65 to stop their inevitable momentum. Maybe Eze for Foden on 88 if he’s feeling frivolous.

    Kane was way too slow in that half for what we are trying to do. He doesn’t press well, he’s not getting in the box when the ball is put in, he’s just floating around the pitch. He’s not winning long balls put up to him whereas Toney would be and he can hold it up for us.

    Better from us but we are far too slow and
    Predictable. Need to pick up the speed on the ball and movement in the final third.

    Shout to Konsa. He’s slotted into the back 3 really well

    We're just going further backwards.

    Go forward!

    Appreciate he’s the one you want on the end of a chance we don’t look like creating but Kane is dead weight.
