Bad game for him. No one was particularly good. We favoured pepe's wing. He was skipping past players when he did get the ball. Has great acceleration.

as i said yesterday: imo he was at least partially at fault for being isolated all game. he always got himself into quite central positions where defenders were piling up and didn´t make a lot of runs. obviously the bad passing all around didn´t help him but imo his positioning wasn´t great at all.
yes, the pitch condition was questionable and we had several drunk players around but that was something everyone had to deal with. llorente for example, while obviously not doing exactly well in terms of ball control, gets absolutely slaughtered around here, even though half of the passes he received were absolutely fucked up (partly because of the pitch) and played into him when 2-3 defenders were pretty much sitting on his shoulder.
i have to ask: did i miss something or what do you mean by "almost had a good shot on goal"? are we talking about his pass behind the goal from an impossible angle ^^? anyways, i like the sound of that: "llorente almost did well in controlling all these balls". that´s the way of positive thinking we need in a place like this forum
.
i fully agree with the last part. he had to deal with some pretty rough challenges and didn´t seem to care at all

copied this from the match thread:
first of all: no, he wasn´t awful. that´s a silly claim.
but still, saying that he "always found good solutions after freeing himself up" imo is just plain wrong. in the last few days there was a lot of talk about "flair and fancy without having end product" and tbh, i think he came pretty close to that yesterday. i remember several times where he got past 1 or even 2 defenders with ease and then fucked it up. in particular, i remember a cross into no-man's-land early in the first half, his pass behind goal after fooling someone in the box and a pass straight into a defender while pogba was waiting in the middle. furthermore, i remember him trying to dribble in positions he isn´t really supposed to dribble in. one time he lost the ball like 5m from our own box while trying to get past a player, while he could have just passed it wide.
apart from that he obviously showed bilstering pace, great agility and technique and really skinned 1-2 defenders several times. so i would say that, considering the circumstances, he had a decent game and again showed that he is a natural but still quite raw talent.
i didn´t like him at all but i think when people were talking about "llorente doing well in a system with a lot of crossing" they probably meant real crosses coming somewhere near llorente, not these absolute shit attempts we saw yesterday, mainly from pepe ^^.

He played almost 80 mins and the sub scored a winning goal...
