A low-effort post here, just to get the results of our post-match poll up. Reiss Nelson claimed the MOTM thanks in part to his assist for Nketiah’s goal. Mikel’s rating is laughably low, and I say that as one who was critical of his lineup and substitutions. It’s arguably just as important (perhaps more so) to give second-string players like Jorginho, Elneny, Cedric, Nketiah, Nelson, and Trossard meaningful minutes as it is to give Sousa, Hein, Walters, or Nwaneri cameos. We’ll depend on the former group far more than we will the latter, after all. At any rate, we won the group, got through a meaningless match with a heavily rotated side, and will now await Monday’s group stage draw.
