Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

Not even with 5 mins to go. Where was someone to take charge and just say keep the ball in the corner. Lack of leadership/characters is really worrying - not a quick fix
You can fix that in five mins. Tell them to kill the game. Waste time.
Gundo signing was just shortsighted…….
he was signed as a squad player. Played well last night.
 
He wanted to make the subs because we were comfortable. I agree with his judgment because we are decimated at the moment but like pep I didn’t see that coming. As fans we back this wonderful team more than ever before because they deserve our backing
 
The subs were made on 69th minute The issue for me was making 3 at the same time Pep will rarely do so and imho it was a huge mistake as following recent form the team collective were getting their mojo back the decision wreck the momentum and upset the balance Pep is usually reluctant to make subs as he doesn't like to do exactly what he did last night

Same v Leicester on Boxing Day 21 and we nearly lost a 4-0 nil lead.

The year before the treble we blew a two goal cushion against Real in the semi in the dying minutes.

I was worried when I saw Phil heading off I must admit.

I think it's fair to say that the subs changed the momentum of the game in their favour but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't so yes, I'm not going to call him out too much on it. As you say, he wanted to protect some of the players for the more difficult games ahead.

None of us saw it coming, and Pep in particular didn't as that's the first time in his nearly 1000 games as a manager that his team hasn't closed a game out after going 3 goals up!

I meant we conceded 3 goals in 15 minutes my bad.

Pep has made these types of substitutions on numerous occasions in the past when we are winning by a large scoreline, It's not noticed then as we were once a team that could see the game out with ease as we were the best at game management.

I understand your points of trying to get the players mojo back it's completely understandable, We've been complaining lately of fatigue and injuries and he made the changes because of which looking ahead to Sunday.

Those changes didn't make Gvardiol have a brain fart for the first two goals, That's what changed the game, Not the substitutes.
