Bowen spending a lot of time running back covering our right. He's chasing back well
That he's doing well, but he's been given the ball when we've broke and lost it almost everytime....yes he's doing the dirty work but there is opportunity on the counter and he's not doing well enough
Compare that to Lingard on the other flank who's been explosive and decisive, running at the right time and passing at the right time
I hope they don’t do what Utd and Liverpool did and that’s come out with a changed plan and overrun us. We need more composure on the ball as they are extremely dangerous on the break.
We lost our way a bit when we had to settle for a stifle approach after Souček went off & haven’t really got out of that mindset. Hoping half time will help.

Tbf, Bowen played the ball for the goal, and when Lingard had the chance to shoot not long after he tried a very ambitious pass that went out for a goal kick. I don’t disagree with your wider point, but Bowen has had a massive impact with that moment.

As you were.
Noble for Bowen at half time I reckon.
Driving runs from midfield relieving pressure
Need more from Bowen/Fornals....they need to help us get up the pitch like Lingard is....

But not really looking forward to seeing Bale as we are defending the box well, but bale has that ability to score from anywhere
