Because the intensity was much higher in the first half.

He has suboptimal stamina, which will be an issue even if he adjusts his game. In games with high intensity, he will have to curb his general workrate in order to remain sharp in possession and chance creation, which is his most important function. But when our game requires constant pressing...

Looked so much better when the intensity dropped in the second half. A bit worrying how badly he is neutralized when the game moves outside his comfort zone.

That is exactly how knee injuries happen. An unexpected loading of the knee at an awkward angle. The amount of force doesn't matter. Also, there is no such thing as a "muscle sprain".

Very positive cameo, happy to see it.

Guy must have an unprecedented ratio of abject blunders to games played.

Looking forward to get a look at him in serious action. The few camos I've seen from him, he's looked a complete donkey with the ball.

Had a look at his latest game for the b team. Looked to be playing on one of those older generation ag pitches with sand on them :ROFLMAO:

An issue of him not having the pace to fall back on, so feels he has to make the challenge while perhaps not having the best instincts or technique in the world.

A misplaced pass surely, but looked very strange Christensen not getting to it. With cramps too, you can sort of excuse it. More importantly, he faced his toughest test yet on the physical side of the role and got through with a passing grade. Some shakiness which is surely expected when so new...

Said it before but pretty certain there's a biomechanical issue there. Explains why running looks such a chore to him. Dragging his feet, lackluster off the ball work, generally slow on the uptake. Explains the lapses of composure and rigidity in certain situations, as we saw today. Explains...

Honestly don't remember those seasons enough to descriminate. Remember thinking in Xavi's last season we looked like a genuine mid-table side for most of it. From around 2005 through 2019 I remember each season with a quite distinct identity. Gets blurry after that.

Presume it will be Gordon - Raphinha - Adeyemi if Yamal is out. Which does leave the creative factor a little lacking, especially if we're anticipating a low block. So wonder if it could be Gordon - Olmo - Raphinha.

RM players not trusting Diomande by the looks of it. Got no service at all.

Like him a lot.
