Same. UCL isn't in our hands and tbh I'm fine with Europa for blooding our youngsters. If nicking a point vs City and beating Sheffield UTD guaranteed things then I'd maybe wish otherwise but it doesn't so tonight means nothing for us.
Neither Werner nor Johnson are the type of winger who from a standing start will face up their man and dribble past them. Werner moves well off the ball but naturally wants to come in on his right, Johnson is fast and gets on the end of balls slipped behind the opponents back line but it's not...
Rooney strongly criticising the players. Reckons some of the injured ones could make it out on to the pitch if they wanted to and will be fine for the FA Cup final and Euros.
I'm in two minds about starting him against City. On the one hand I think we need Son out wide to really affect the game. On the other hand I think Dane will be eaten alive by the City centre backs.
His pressing and distance covered stats earlier in the season would say otherwise. Deki might be many things but lazy he is not.
FWIW I think Ange wants his wingers to remain in spaces where if we turn over the ball they can be reached quickly and spark a counter. Johnson has had similar...
I get the feeling that a lot of youth products get their chance at a club where there is no risk to the manager.
City have a great environment to bring through young talent because the level of the first team is so good that they can still dominate teams 10v11. Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb are...
Johnson needs a summer training camp with Werner and Son. Their off the ball movement is something I'd like to see Johnson emulate because at times he just makes it easy for his defender and hard for his team mates. Some nice passes today that should have led to goals.
I think our press from the front needs some work. Many opposition teams seem to be finding players wide of our front two and dragging our wingers high and then just finding a man in the space they've just vacated.
I'd also like to see Son start LWF the next couple of games and just leave...
