KP played well 🤔, watched most of the game and didn't fall asleep. Just didn't see KP play enough balls forward, it was all side but back or straight back pass.
Is that what Southgate has asked him to do or is KP just playing it safe?

93% pass accuracy.
Didn’t give the ball away much which is key
“play the way you’re facing†is pretty standard and what he’s used to at Leeds where he’d play much deeper than he’d be expected to last night with a back 3
He and Winks needed to move up
Second half he was much better, KP moving further forward and into gaps
It’s a different role in a team with less than 50 caps
He was a lot more confident and assured
Our boy continues to progress as a player
I was saying much the same to Marcelo.

I thought kp did ok lots of sideways and backwards passing but also a few great first time passes and three great long passes
Was roasted by Roberts and gave away a very dangerous free kick ad they can punish you but got away with it last night. Also last night he wore Number 8 and I don’t mind that just don’t like him wearing number 4
Let’s be honest though last night kp was ok but winks and grealish we’re both far more effective against the same opposition.

Also Roberts played decent as well just final ball at times.

Berm pretty sure you have previously stated that you see KP as more of a CM rather than CDM so therefore 8 shirt would be apt than a 4 shirt.

Grealish and Winks play a different style in Midfield to KP, Southgate wants KP as the holding midfield, Winks is a box to box midfielder, Grealish is the roaming playmaker so I think its harsh to compare there performances, you'll be skating Pope next for having less shots on target than Ings.

I do BV if you read my post I said last night he was wearing the number 8 shirt and I prefer that much more than number 4 shirt.
