Gruev has had one moment - the one-two on the break with Gnonto

Defensively there's not enough bite

Contrast with the tackles that Longstaff has thrown himself into

Different players, Gruev defends with nous and finnesse. He's played well to this point. You mentioned his running earlier, he reminds me of Liam Brady in his gait

James loops a high cross to the smallest man

Gnonto sends a long cross back in past everyone

Brain dead decision to get rid of Rama without even giving him a chance. James isn't cut out for this level. And spending £10m a bench RB was another dumb decision.

No question Ampadu is our #1 in that position, no argument from me. But he's a very decent #2.

Pretty even, some good play but lacking quality in the final third.
Longstaff and Gruev have done well, poor first half from Stach I thought.
