It did on the replay, about half a yard but he left the defence for dead and Finnished well. The good bits from Sunday without the sloppy passes.
Kante makes a big difference and we adjusted well to not trying to beat the high press from the back thru its center teeth every time
i'll take your word for it. just don't want to believe it that would've been way too sweet. he's got all of the tools to be a goalscorer for us. great assist to giroud as well
Amazing to see us generate plays through the middle, get the ball to the feet of the striker. Missed that the last few years.
pulisic is looking really good. against really quality opponents. all the tools, and intelligent with a lot of his play. the cut back from pedro a few mins ago that was bouncing high, he still had the technique to side foot shot it and keep it down, granted it was blocked straight off but a LOT of players sky that. not sure his passing has been given quite enough credit and he keeps his head up and is always looking forward. REALLY a shame that goal was disallowed.
yea, you can tell he's fading a bit. or picking his times to be aggressive and not. either way, we have hungry players on the bench.
oh and Kante on the field is so massive for us it's almost impossible to overstate. and that's not even in a purely defensive role either.
He has been good, not great, but the difference with the players we started at Old Trafford is stark.
Yes. Playing a 3 man midfield is also huge in allowing us to have a good amount of control over the game.
