He and Gusto have started fairly well.

I'm not sure Defensive duels per 90 is a good metric. Unless I misunderstand, that is just the amount of times they have defensive duels, rather than ones they win? That would suggest Gusto spends a lot of time defending as well.

Would you not prefer the likes of Ben White and Roberston having lots of progressive passes without being put under pressure to face defensive duels? Maybe I am wrong here.

Thought he quietly had a good game yesterday. Dealt with Hudson-Odoi well before he went off, which I wasn't expecting.

Agree, Cucu played well, gave odoi nothing

He’s missing against Liverpool!!!

I'm not sure why the yellow, he wasn't involved in the confusion. But he had Odoi in his pocket all game and bullied a few of their players. Good game from him.

Yeah does anyone know why he was given the yellow? I can't find footage of it. I swear he was the one who got taken out!

I can only think of two options. Took out a NF player prior to being flattened himself. Shouted in the 4th official's (or linesman's, not sure which) face.

If it was the former, they would have won the foul instead of us. If it's dissent, he needs to cut it out. Cucu seems to have a reputation for talking back and the officials appear to give him yellows immediately, but don't to others...

I think its the latter although I read it could be for the shoulder bump before he was taken out (that would be really harsh though)
