Yeah, who did really well, I thought.
I think the problem is a bit deeper than who plays the centre-back and are they good enough or not good enough?
Because I thought Kuzanov had the good game, to be fair.
He made a couple of mistakes, always, because he's a young player.
But his pace...
Helped them to play higher up on the pitch.
He can recover from mistakes.
He had a couple of really good blocks.
The problem remains.
Nico Gonzalez, for example.
The lack of creativity from Phil Foden, who's five games in a row now.
He's been really poor.
Erling Haaland can't score in open play anymore for some reason.
Misses massive chances.
Why is Schalke on the bench in a game like this?
I don't understand.
Because when he came on for the last half hour, he changed the game, but he was still not enough.
For them to win, and yeah, the injuries are a problem, but I think they have far more issues than just Diaz and Guardiola not being there.
Yeah, in the second half, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
