I don't even think that's the problem tbh. We know our defence is ****. It's our lacklustre midfield and attack. No presence, taking far too long on the ball. Easily getting outmuscled. Atletico being given possession so no surprise our defence is under the kosh.
Clueless is probably the best way to describe that first half performance. He HAS to change it. Bring on Dalot ffs.
Rashford annoys me! Had the ball at the edge of the box, no pressure, and still manages to place a simple terrible pass.
'Pogba' annoys me! Had the ball at the edge of the box, no pressure, and still manages to place a simple terrible pass.
We haven't won a single 50/50. Easily outmuscled. Haven't got to the ball first once either. Sloppy passes by Bruno and Pogba. Both have been shocking tbph.
Pogba has been absolute fcking ****. When you look at Atletico's results and performances in the league and the CL, we should've been taking the game to them. Even on the rare occasions we've got forward, Atletico look vulnerable. It's criminal we've let them have the game.
He did ever so well to place the goal accurately like a pass into the neat while easily beating the keeper that was spreading himself. Very calm player! He’s a solid player!
Telles whipped in an amazing cross there after beating two players. Amazing! He added more pressure to Atletico with great crosses into the box.
Rangnick got it wrong with the line up. No surprise the subs made the difference. Will take the result given the poor performance but we should've taken the game to them from the off and gone for the win.
I only caught the second half which I thought was nicely balanced. I don’t think this tie is ever going to be easy regardless of how bad Atletico are in the league. It’s very much a cup tie now and horrible league teams have gone on to win it in the past several years. Not exactly sure why the hell we had Linderlof at right back. What a waste?! But I would have took the result before the match.
