It makes zero sense as he is the only one doing it, it's not remotely difficult to bypass him, even if the likes of doku/foden follow him up, Cherki isnt going to do it so they'll always have an easy out ball to their left back rendering any kind of front press entirely pointless, i could get a bunch of semi-pro's together and play around our front press with ease. It's that bad.

we are essentially choosing to defend with 5 players. It's insane but it's all on Pep, bernardo isn't doing that by choice.

My thoughts exactly - Bernardo will run all day but he'll be doing it slowly. Makes no sense to ask him to lead the press and also track back. Against a team built to counter

Is rudiger not a deliberate denial of a goal scoring opportunity in the box? Is that not a red? I get that a yellow is given if a pens given and the player tries to plays the ball, but rudigers is deliberate to stop Haaland scoring.

No, not any more. Pen and red is said to be double punishment. If it's a last gasp slide tackle, in the box yellow and pen, outside the box free kick and red

Did they just call Rudiger naive on TNT on the pen?

HE'S FUCKING 32. HE'S WON THIS COMPETITION. He knows what he's doing FFS

They should call him what he is.
A dirty cheating, horrible excuse for a human.

I despise few players more than him.
Even before the assault on KDB he was a ****. But for what that **** did in the CL final and not get red carded.

I hope he does his ACL the ****.

God I hate RM. The cheating bleating fouling moaning arrogant bastards.

If we can get control of the midfield we can have them on toast. Need to stay very disciplined and cut out daft mistakes.

There is literally NOTHING to like about them. I just can't ever decide who I hate the most, the players who are a bunch of fucking whinging pussies, or their fans who are a bunch of entitled pathetic whinging pussies. Every time I see a few seconds of their fans I only see a few hundred people who I'd love to slap. Absolute fucking cockwombles.
 
Funny our last referee in the champs league was letting everything go this one blows for any player going down I white!? It’s remarkable how they hand pick referees for certain clubs!
