Paul Merson appears to have morphed into Ray Winston???
Toby was illThe corners we put into their box was consistantly good today. Rodon well played, shocked he hasnt played more considering the inconsistency of Sanchez and Dier. Why was Alderwiereld dropped?
I'm bored of 'fans' criticising him now. He's been in and out the team all season so of course he's going to be inconsistent. He's also been tasked with putting defensive shifts in. If he'd been in City's team, he'd have shown more in attacking sense.Bergwijn has done exactly what we’ve needed though, filled space, ran hard, and crucially beaten players off the dribble to keep possession.
I think Rodon would be good as a left sided centerback with a more experienced and calm CB (e.g. Toby) going forward. Really happy with the shift he put in today.

Yes really, he can’t really hold up the ball, did you see how many times he lost the ball today when under pressure with back to goal? He’s no Giroud that’s for sure so I don’t think he’s the type to lead the line.

He‘s aged a lot!!
Fair play, he’s been very complementary !
Doesn't anyone want to see tanganga and rodon as a CB partnership?
Think I'm a bit more comfortable aurier starting ahead of sanchez

I think he did his job today and offered a presence in the box with Kane drifting, also getting the first goal helps, can he do better? Definitely, we would have a lot more control if he didn’t lose out so much against the CB when the balls been played into him. Overall I think his performance today is satisfying but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s just not very good at being a target man at the moment. Maybe he can evolve and learn to be a monster in the future but on current showing it’s hard to see.You think he didn’t play well today then?
I heard this earlier today. I would have been sceptical myself, had it not been for the fact Toby is one of the senior players that has been backing Jose to the hilt.
