That long range shot at the end would've been a great goal.
He's clearly improving in every game. I'm starting to believe that knee injury was the main reason for his poor form at the start of the season. Now he seems physically fit and his movements are much more fluid. Will still take some time for him to establish a chemistry with Dembele and Semedo though Roberto will likely play in most important games and they already have great connection.
Not to sound harsh, but he's only taking on that shot because he doesn't have the legs to get away. If he takes one more touch and gets his head up Dembele's in. He's a lot better now than at the start of season, but unless he can step it up another level I'd be happy to have Griezman replace him.
His wife has Italian Citizenship and that's why he doesn't count as a Non-EU.Can someone clarify for me. In Spain the rule is that a team can not register more than 3 non EU players. We currently have 4, Suarez, Coutinho, Paulinho and Mina. There is much talk that we are looking to get Coutinho Italian citizenship, but on transfermarkt it says that Suarez also has Italian citizenship, but no other site have confirmed that, and last season he was counted alongside Neymar as non EU. If this is true and Coutinho also gets EU citizenship then another spot will be open for a new player.
It's just me or did he lose some weight? He is more incisive. Better on the ball and his first touch improved dramatically which I attribute to a better fitness.
Nice ti see him back on track.

You could be right and it's also understandable he was tired in the 80th minute but trying to look from his perspective I think it was his goalscoring instinct that lead him to take a shot. He was feeling good, saw GK out of the goal and tried to surprise him. It was also exhibition for the fans. People would've gone crazy had he scored from that position even if the game was already decided a long time ago. If it was still a close game I think he'd probably try to keep the ball and pass to Dembele.
