Good victory against aston villa, the positives were szobozlai was everywhere and worked his socks off, salah was strong and did well but created hardly anything, Well taken goal. Clean sheet and a victory to boot, great to have gravenberch back too. Robertson was solid if unspectacular, but thats what we were looking for.
Unfortunately gakpo was hardly in the game, same with ekitike and the team hardly carved any clear cut chances. Mac Alister was no better than he was for some of his previous games… so i didnt really see that big change that some of the posters were clamouring about. Bradley played okay, but once again no end product when attacking and still to regain the form he had prior to real Madrid last season.
The negatives came towards the last 20 minutes where we just launched the ball and went to long ball tactics, which gave Aston Villa possession and the initiative (maybe its nerves i suppose). Also konate still making silly mistakes on the ball and was lucky he didnt get punished in the first half from morgan rogers. Still scares the heebie jeebies out of me.
A decent performance against an inform team, but the outcome was a better result.
