Hopefully City's fixture will be on a knife-edge score so they have to fight their second leg and keep one eye on that.
Wonder how much the disappointment of losing the afcon final and then the World Cup qualifier to the same side containing his teammate has mentally affected Salah especially when he missed his penalty that knocked his team out.
loving the Diaz Robbo link up down the left Konate has been brilliant scrubbed out Nunez and scored Keita been really good apart from in the box . Pretty much the only ones below par are Mane Salah and VVD
I feel bad for Joemez, he has a great game on weekend and a good assist, then Konate comes in for this game and says "no CB for you, Joe". Completely bullies the Bambi-esq benfica boys like a big brother in the garden and scores to cap it off. Thiago just strutting around the park like the absolute boss he is, is so good to watch.
Still time lads. Still time. The line up I think was fairly right and their danger men are as expected but there's so much space at the back and a set piece goal or two possible as well. Another coupe goals here and we can focus on city fully. Come on atletico
Or let him try and score in a game where creating tonnes of chances to get his confidence back. Subbing him now just says your not playing well your coming off.
Looks a handful with his pace and movement. But hasn’t really had any chances or link up with team mates. Not really much to judge him on so far. Had a shocking dive though.
hes a big man im sure his ego can take coming off because hes playing well under his usual standards and has been for a number of games now, he could score three now have no rest and for me its just patching an artery with a plaster. The amount of football hes played recently is ridiculous. I know he wants to pkay every minute of every game but when you have back up why not use it.
Rancid all round. Diaz did their work for them. Konate just doesn't clear it at all. Any sort of old clearance and that's done.
