Why do you keep digging him out when you defended that shithouse kolarov with your life. It’s not as though Sané has been the only shit player. Name one player who has played well tonight?

He’s so frustrating.
TBH. It’s not much more than I expected and yet I’m actually surprised that we could be doing so well here with a few minor tweaks.
I wouldn’t throw on the senior players second half. If we lose just take the lessons on the chin. This is a free pass.
I’d take Yaya off, put Foden in the middle
and put Diaz on the left.
What’s to lose? At least we’d have a midfield that can track back quickly.

I thought Foden did very well but Tosin looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

Mind you the back three have been quite exposed.

I think both Forden and Tosin have been OK (which is basically the reason I'm watching). They would do really well in a proper set up.

No problems with the changes tbh.

You cant plan for Mangala flapping about like a Pigeon with a broken wing, and Yaya blowing out of his arse in the middle. Changes didn’t go far enough in my opinion,we should have started with Diaz . Yaya is done at every level

Mangala tried to gift the fuckers 2 goals.

2-0 could easily have been 4-0

Take KDB/Silva out of our side it is fucking frightenning 0 shots on goal.

Agree about Foden. Don’t think he looks out of place at all.
Jury still out on Tosin. I’d love to see him get time in a proper set up, but he’s not going to get his chance to do that unless he shines when given chances like tonigh and I don’t think he’s shining at all.

Liam mate, it's a bit much you throwing that out everytime he's mentioned.
Imo he's the most likely out of the 3 and you think sterling is. Time will tell I suppose...

But you don't give Jesus any stick, or sterling if he fucks up in other games.

You seem to dislike sane?

Again, where have I given him stick here? I’m taking the piss as I don’t think he’s a future winner of it. Nothing to do with how he’s playing haha.

I’m sure people read what they want mate.

No worries, I obviously got you wrong. It comes across that you don't like him in general.

I couldn't really give a fuck I suppose .

Ooh close sane

He's good with the ball. The defending is harder to judge, since it's basically three Shaktar players running at our isolated back three at full pelt I've Rand over again. Not easy in other words. He's still haven't made any clangers like his colleague on the left ...
