If Mourinho can get the old Dele back it’d be huge. Great start from Dele. Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. Agree with Kyle Martino, Dier looks a bit out of shape.
I was writing a post before the goals a little about Dier being unimaginative. Things like his favorite food is plain untoasted bread. That he's only aware of vanilla as a flavor of ice cream. etc.
Medic has covered a lot of ground today, interested to see his distance covered in the post-match stats.
Why are we so terrible at closing out games? That was atrocious. Definitely the biggest issue Jose has to fix.
and fortunately it is what he is good at. It's amazing how this defense has gone to crap in the past 18 months. I think a lot of it is lack of midfield strength. I mean Eriksen was lost out there defensively once he came on. I thought it was interesting when the announcers mentioned Sissoko had started every game up until this one. I have never fallen in love with him or Winks like Poch had. Makes me wonder if there is something that we are not seeing late in games with those two.
Got trashed last night and the phone I had my alarm set on died. Woke up to see we were up 3 in the 2nd half, smiled, and passed back out until noon. COYS
Ndombele and Jan are back in full training and will be available for selection tomorrow. Sounds like Davies may be out for a few weeks, though.
I’m fine with it. We should see rotation this weekend before heading to Old Trafford for a midweek clash. 3 points and we’re on to the knockouts, so I think you play your strongest/most reliable squad.
No, but if anyone has a stream please post itt. I’ll try to get one from Reddit as well and post if successful.
