    We need to score first as if they do I can see it being a comfortable win for them

    Because the refs allow it too often before yellow cards.

    If we are to have any chance in this one we will need 45 mins from Maddison and get Kulu back out on the RW. Johnson just isn't up to this level yet.

    Dragusin pinging a ball over the top would surely wrongfoot their press attempts

    And Werner as well is pretty ineffective so far

    He hasn't seen the ball. He was completely unmarked a couple of times and not found.

    Bernardo Silva aloud to commit as many fouls as he wants.

    That’s fair, we have really wasted the little opportunities we have had with terrible last balls

    10 fouls in the first half, ZERO yellows.

    I think I've identified the issue: there's nobody in the squad who you can narrate dribbling through their team to score the winner in the correct "And still Ricky Villa...!" cadence

    Somebody tell the refs that the Turkey-toothed twatbag is off at the end of the season, so no need to try and get in his good books anymore

    Don't think Timo is the answer either...

    Johnson is such a frustrating player. There is a player in there but he makes the wrong choice more often than not in critical situations

    He's on his heels most of the time, doesn't use his pace and his crossing is awful. He's playing like what he is, a Championship level player thrust into the big time.
    I'm really concerned he just doesn't have the mentality to progress at this level.

    We are missing Son a lot more than they are missing Haaland. He has the pace and the quality to get in behind. Our front three just don’t have both of those qualities and it’s really showing
