    He’s been terrible this half.

    Yeah, he's done well to get out on the run on the counter, but then makes poor decisions or can't execute.

    I love him, but hate seeing how easy he goes down and the one complete/shameful dive. And then the ref complaining.

    I dislike it from anyone, even our guy.

    Dahoud with a dumb YELLOW for kicking ball into the stands after whistle blows

    Clearly he's getting frustrated from being kicked all game (not to excuse it).

    And now he's coming off for Sancho in the 76th.

    Sadly not a good outing from our boy. Beating one guy consistently and then losing possession to the second

    Sancho on for Pulisic at 76'. Can't really argue with that change.

    Yes, he's been complaining quite a bit too much every time he looses the ball.

    He has talents, but he need to be more consistent.

    He gone. 77 minutes. Honestly 1 nice corner kick... but didnt have much end product or create much.

    Good watching though.

    He's not getting on the ball. How do you misplace passes when you aren't touching the ball? And if he is, he's dribbling into pressure, not passing.

    First half he was pretty good under the circumstances. Won a bunch of fouls, including one resulting in a goal, and then served in the corner for the third goal. Also won the yellow. But yes the second half was not good.

    Yeah, a lot of dribbling into traffic. Poor decision-making.

    This is pretty odd. He has been on the ball on numerous occasions, and didn't do much with it (particularly the second half). See the thread commentary.

    Good first half, won lots of free kicks, one of which led to a goal, and a corner that led to a goal. Second half couldn't get going. I'd give him a 6. Wasn't worse than Phillip or Reus for sure.

    See my edit. Can't miss-place a pass if you're not passing.

    There's Sancho making the good, early pass on the break to put Reus in for the 4th.

    When you win 4-1 but your GK is the player of the game, that says this scoreline really flattered to deceive.

    General comment about Puli - he's too happy to go at two defenders, when there is no space behind them. There's no benefit to it, only the risk of losing the ball. He needs to change it up more.
