Brilliant first half, Maddison has been sensational. Only frustration is we're not further in front, thought Son was very dangerous but really should have attacked that far post when Johnson put it across from the free kick. Solanke quiet and probably need a bit more from Johnson but not too much negative to say from that.
 
Good motions, good intentions, lack of quality in key areas still a major factor.

Sarr’s a lovely lad with great attitude but contributes very little creatively - even in a basic sense. Unless you put Johnson clean in behind he’s fucking useless. Son can’t dribble past players.

Virtually nothing goes through our right channel because of Sarr and Johnson’s limitations.

Bentancur see’s much less ball than Bissouma does in games like this and in much, much safer situations. He doesn’t offer himself in tight spaces and so our build up is very predictable. He also needs to squeeze up and press more at times, he did it once and created a good situation.

Like I said, we are playing well intentioned football, dominating the ball but it’s all very much paint by numbers, no one doing anything exceptional, clever or incisive. No one taking risks, because none are really capable of it.

Maddison is having a decent game.
 
We really need a quick 2nd as we have destroyed them without getting the shoreline we deserve, VDV, Romero and Bentancur really controlling the game and Madders looking more like himself
