And now he makes changes. I will be very honest and stick to my word, Ange has managed this terribly.
We've got about 3 players just looking at him. Dreadful. Now Lo Celso and Gil replace Richarlison and Sarr. Way, way too late.
I can’t see how they would be any worse than Emerson or Dier. Ideally they’d be playing alongside Romero or Van De Ven but one strength of Ben Davies is he’s a steady hand and would be a calming influence alongside a novice.
Unreal goal. Probably game over. You can carry one or two of the squad players or lads playing out of position but it’s finally catching up to us. Not even the narrow breaks or marginal decisions are going our way which is what you need when you’re carrying sub-par players and just need a little momentum in a game. Probably have to write this one off and move on.
Once again, the only positive is the ongoing pressure Levy & Co will face in trying to sort the holes in the squad in January. We’re lucky to be where we are considering how depleted we are. Ange and the players can do no more. Time for the powers above to step in, otherwise we’re gonna fall off the edge of a cliff with those leaving on international duty.
Welbeck and Milner replaced by Ferguson and Moder. Experienced players have done their job and now quality youngsters replace tired legs.
Veliz came on for... someone. Hojbjerg booked for being fouled and them obstructing a free-kick. What? Oh, it was Moder, apparently.
