It's disappointing, but it's early in the season and we're yet to hit our stride.
I'll tell you this though, I can't wait for Merino to get fit and Odegaard to return as I find our midfield really underwhelming. I would've also given Nwaneri some minutes today.
We have a glut of players who are in a funk. Jesus, Gabi, and Partey are all severely underperforming, Merino and Ode are injured, and Sterling isn't up to speed yet. I get where you're coming from on Nwaneri, but we absolutely could not risk conceding a goal tonight.
I grew up in the attacking era, defensive football doesn't do it for me.
We don't really have a choice right now.
We should've made better efforts in the summer.

Just saw that our next 6 matches are all at home after City, so I think we should find rhythm and our attacking prowess.
🙏 Inshallah
Maybe 1, possibly 2 extra. I think we're also really unlucky with injuries. What are the chances Merino fractures his shoulder and Øde ends up with an ankle injury.
I think a fair few of our forwards aren't in form either which hasn't helped.
