Can we avoid saying a kid should start because of one pass in 10m of space against 10 men?

It totally neglects the fact that Barkley, Kante and Mount shut down the City midfield for 90 minutes before then and covered the fullbacks so well to negate City. 

Barkley, although he tired, was particularly spectacular tonight. I'm not a fan at all but he was superb. Kante and Mount did less with the ball but were superb without it. Only blemish is the foul from Kante in the lead up to the City goal.

No because Gilmour deserves to play imo, Our midfield tonight wasn't great, Kante was shocking today and looks like he isn't up to full fitness which makes sence because he didn't train as much due to his extended break. Barkley tries but I don't see much from him other than effort which is the bare minimum as a footballer. 

Gilmour showed before the break age doesn't matter when you are putting in top drawer performances against the beat teams which he did. 

To say its because of a simple pass or whatever you were trying to make it out to be is ridiculous. 

Pulisic was the difference. He takes his chances and moves the ball fast. When fit he is just about as good as hazard. I thought Barkley  was also good and the midfield stayed on the job close to defence running hard all night. Well done boys.

I was thinking the same thing " Bliiy this," Billy That" he's still 18 had a couple decent games and he's instantly should start every game. Over hyping the kid.

Im watching McManaman at Stamford bridge gushing over Liverpool now he is on with flower and franks walking about in the background.

Not a word about that brilliant game that just unfolded. No wonder people despise the c**ts

We could enjoy it more if the channel I pay for, actually acknowledged the team that won the match they have covered existed.

Defensive wise Andreas and Azpi were a pair of rocks.

Pulisic has shades of Hazard and Gilmour is classy as hell

There are a few notable differences though. Pulisic is more direct, but Hazard was a much better passer of the ball. Both of them have great dribbling ability, Hazard's ahead of Pulisic in that area though because of his build. Pulisic is bit more lightweight which makes him slightly easier to tackle.

It doesn’t matter as we won but it absolutely is his fault. He had time to compose himself and smash it in to the net. Instead he tried to just roll it in to the goal which gave Walker the time to recover.

Are you joking? He just rounded the keeper while being pushed off balance, he was falling away and from a tight angle and he cut it back then fell over, how does he smash that one in....seriously come on 

I guess I can enjoy the fact that Pool has the most boring title win ever. Stuck at their homes, not on the pitch for a league won months ago before a global pandemic.

Pulisic is a better finisher and has more desire to shoot. And right now it’s goal scoring that’s needed.

I'm simply saying he had one touch tonight. While Mount, Barkley and Kante shut down City for 90 minutes. It some times feels like we don't care about what players do without the ball. Barkley was great on the counter.

He didn't. Watch the goal again, he fluffed the shot because of he was fouled and tried to steady himself from hitting it first time. 

In that situation hitting it first time was the right call. If he steadied himself Walker and Fernandinho would have both covered his angles

 

 

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I can guarantee he’ll be annoyed at himself for missing as would I in that situation. He had time to take one more step and smash it high. Walker and Fernandinho weren’t getting there.

Did you read my post? “Time to compose himself”. It was a bad miss, but we won so who cares.

i thought it was evident from my post i also implied he didnt have time to wait and compose himself... anyhow yes.. why bicker over this.. we won .. and Pusilic was great!!
