    Seriously.

    • Nketiah switched off midway through the first half.
    • Saka and Odegaard didn’t contribute much in the second half, probably gassed from playing their third game of the week.
    • Jorginho horrendous.

    Off day for us and I’m sure the team realises it.

      Ødegaard was incredibly out of character today, passes missed, losing the ball easily. Saka needs rest and know the limits of his body.

        I agree, he was. I’m also willing to cut him some slack (as a fan) because he’s played 270 minutes this week.

        I agree but where is the quality :(

        He tried a tiny bit (half forced) with Nketiah, Jorginho, Vieira/Havertz splitting time the last few games and they were largely ineffective. Having Martinelli, Trossard and Partey injured doesn’t help of course.

          Saka doesn’t need to play in the CL man

          Also Rice, also Ødegaard, also White, also Gabriel

          Kiwior, Jorginho, ESR, Nelson, Tomi all crying for game time
