UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [8th - 10th Dec 2020]

Putting more defenders on doesn't mean you will defend better. It just means that you have 5 players who think that someone else is marking the attackers. It has to be coached...
 
None of them have been great but relatively he's been one of the brighter ones.

He had a great chance, fluffed it.

He tried to play rashford in but nearly played him into the corner flag.

Just as the half time whistle went he passed to the defender rather than rashford too.

Hes just too young and not good enough to start games like this.
 
The funny thing is we're still in this. We've missed a couple of good chances and we'd have had a penalty if the officials were competent.
 
Ole needs to exploit the fact they have an empty bench and we can have 5 subs.

I am not sure why Ole goes for the back 5. It worked when all our players were injured and we had Ashley young but it just doesn't make any sense. He does it almost as a cautious option but it just makes everything worse. I am sure if we played a back four it would have been a different situation now.

Only positive I can see is RB look knackered already and hopefully ole can exploit with 5 subs as there is still plenty of tallent on the bench.

We changed to a back 5 against Chelsea and lost horribly, nearly lost to PSG and then changed to a back 4 and beat then. Then again today it has been terrible.
