Read this and you would never guess we won 3-0
On another note - just watched the highlights again. It's fair to criticise Jesus's finishing but that save from the first effort is actually ****ing brilliant. Credit to the keeper
As per my post on X, If Jesus finished as well as his movement, he?d score 20+.Quote:

Keepers tend to end up with a lot of credit against jesus.... his finishing is awful, there is no point pretending otherwise.Quote:

Other than that, sorry but I don't like this competition. I can't get excited about the games at all.
I did wonder if Jesus's pass to Saka was actually a attempt on goal :hide:Quote:

Lewis Skelly looks a seriously good prospect. Has a bit of everything.
The other positive was Merino linking up with Martinelli. We looked a much bigger threat from the left last night.
I had another look and they are both good saves. I'd favour the second one because he raises and arm to reach the deflection whereas the first one just kind of hits his foot with little reaction. In both cases I don't think they are easy finishes because of the ball (the first one) and the defender (second one). Decent attempt on both from Jesus, he doesnt do much wrong. But then he never does, and never scores.... :-(Quote:

fair comment - which obviously earns a yellow on awimbQuote:
