Rusty is an understatement. The players look so far off their usual sharpness it's embarrassing. Both their goals came from mistakes and Mane missed virtually an open goal.
You wouldnt think they'd have time to lose the match sharpness, they havnt had much of a break. Defence looks like they've never met each other mindyou
Think the commentary on the second was a bit OTT. Was an open goal from 25 yards out Nice to see him grt w couple though. Really hope he gets a proper chance this season. Fancy him to put the ball in the net more so than origi tbh
There was an awkward spin on it so he did well enough, but yes - a bit of over-excitement in the commentary box.
Watching on my phone so hard to see, but it looked like Joe played fab into trouble for the first, caught out of position for the second. But in saying that they where all at 6s and 7s. Only a friendly mind, im sure the concentration level will be better in a few days time
Few snippets that I have seen on the two games and must say Minamino has been linking well. Little flicks and link up play, Firmino esque. Hope he keeps it up.
just hope we don’t play him out wide. He clearly doesn’t suit that role in our system where their job is to get in behind the full backs. Much better suited to that firmino role.
