Coady for me, with Gana right there with him. Coady did very well on his finish, and he kept his defensive work clean for the majority of the day. Frankly didn’t think anyone played a particularly great match, though.
Poor first half from both sides. We looked slightly more dangerous but just too sloppy both in terms of our passing and first touch to create direct chances. Iwobi made us go, though I thought even he looked a bit sloppier than usual.
When McNeil was able to get space I thought he put a couple very nice balls in. That said, his lack of pace was clear that half as he had a tough time gaining the space to get comfortable on the ball. Would like to see Gordon on sooner than later.
Gray needs to be quicker to release the ball, as usual. He’s had a few very nice moments but also has allowed attacks to fizzle by holding the ball far too long.
Had to give it to Pickford, but this is the best we’ve looked in some time. Onana already consistent quality at his age. We have an incredible player on our hands.
