Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

I’d actually forgotten about his sarcastic clapping after the second.

The problems are there for all to see and the way we’re playing, to me, suggests that there are major issues somewhere. It’s gone beyond anything relating to injuries or a loss of confidence now.
What if substitutions disrupted rhythm, allowed space in our final third which led to a better press from Feyenoord and caused silly mistakes to get them back into the game? If we over analyse it we lose sight of the control we had of that game up to 75 mins when there were no big issues at all with our play.
 
I would look at the last 6 out of 7 years rather than a minute during a game.

It's a bad patch. And turning on the manager during it is ridiculous.
I'm not turning on the manager - instead I'm looking to him to lead, motivate, reshape the team in the last 10 minutes and alter the tactics to secure the win - not look like he's ready to jump off the nearest railway bridge.
 
We should of just put 11 behind the ball on 75 minutes, seems to work for most teams
Sat deeper and countered. Unfortunately not how Pep wants the game to be played.

I wanted minutes for McAtee & KDB but I was really surprised with how Pep set up the team after the subs. Would have thought Bernardo would have dropped to midfield to play alongside Nunes, with McAtee keeping RW. Did limit our control. Also thought Grealish looked fucked towards the end
 
He keeps losing the ball.
So does Gundo.
When the legs are gone you find you don’t have the time you used to have. Getting caught in possession, diddering about, not making a decision.
Poor decision making has us repeatedly cheaply losing possession. One ball through usually opens up and panics our defence.
Akanji and Gvardiol, to my mind, are not natural defenders. Gvardiol is decent going forward but that’s it.
I would regard Ake as the most naturally defensively minded player we have available and he doesn’t seem to be 100% fit.
And yet how many Blue Mooners on here keep blaming Rico ?
