A point I also keep trying to make, what builds momentum is beating Real twice to make the semi in the first place, drawing piddly league games means nothing - that said the manner of the draw was disappointing, I wonder if Saliba's needed a rest he seems to be losing his focus in games, I hope he gets a day or two off now

tbh I think the players wil be disappointed with yesterday overall, which unlike the coast vs Ipswich was a bit messy - they now have six days to rest and get their act together though

still would have preferred Saka hadn't played tbh and was glad he actually didn't get the ball much so no-one kicked him again

it also felt really odd to start Sterling and not Ethan, although I guess with Trossard starting he along with Saka and arguably Tierney were the only 'impact' players available to bring on
