A proper performance. Excellent from first to last. I'm sure Arsenal fans are wailing this morning but the better team won. Yes they missed chances, but how often have we done that in the past year?
The difference these past couple of weeks have been when the boss had time to train the lads has been enormous. If we win all three upcoming home games, I'll really start to think we've turned a corner. Maybe not the corner, but a corner.
Almost everyone got an 8 or more from me, but special praise for De Light and Maguire, neither of whom put a foot wrong. And Bayindir might have been weak for their goal but made two excellent saves on top of the penalties
I assume that you mean the initial punch out from Bayindir being weak, as the deflection gave him no chance.
To be fair, as the game went on, I was getting more confident in Bayindir, I always feel that with Onana he could make a bad mistake at any time.
We certainly look much more like a team now, and Amorim hasn't brought any player into the club, yet.
It looks like either this transfer window, or in the summer, Rashford, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony and Lindelof will probably leave the club, Kirkzee infuriates me. He appears to be quite skilful, but looks so lethargic. Hojlund tries hard, and I think there is a decent player in there, but we need a real proper striker, now.
It was certainly interesting that he brought Collyer on. I've been quite impressed with him, not so much in his abilities with the ball, but he looks like he could become a solid defensive midfielder, he doesn't shirk any physical contact, and hopefully his passing ability would improve as he got more games.
