Hoffenheim (A) Post Match Thread

Two feet are you sure of that? That's not even what BT commentary called it as. I will get round to posting the replay of it to clear this up tomorrow probably, happy to admit if it was two feet off the ground but any short of that and it's a yellow... even if it was a Rag.

job done by the lads despite best efforts of the ref. does anyone know where on tv the highlights can be seen. last season it was shown on either itv ch4 or ch5 cant remember which one but have checked listing for champ league highlights and no channel seems to be showing it.

Still waiting for a reason why we do. I posted in the match thread about how a club with the most marketable tools available could be targeted. Nobody came back with anything other than ‘bore off’.

Job done in spite of the ref trying his hardest to prevent us getting the win. The ref kind of masked over a performance that we've seen a few times this season already though. By no keans bad but we've lost a bit of edge in our attack, we keep the ball, pass and probe for openings well enough but we don't create all that many actual chances, Pep loves to say how he doesn't keep possession for the sake of it and every pass needs to have a purpose but pointless possession is creeping into our game a little bit.

We need to find new passing lanes, and have new ideas in that final third to stop us being predictable because as soon as we become predictable, it becomes a lot easier to play against us. Not suggesting we're anywhere near predictable yet before somebody reads that one line and ignores the rest of the post, just that there's signs in our play this season. We got the win and thats all that matters from tonight but we need to be a lot better on Sunday if we're to come away from Anfield still undefeated.

Without question the missing link in the side is KDB and we should not underestimate the loss of playing without him.

Bernardo and Gundogan offer us control of the ball but they do not have the range of pass that KDB offers either playing the perfect through ball inside the full backs or switching the play with a 40 yard pass to the wings where the space is. Silva and Gundog or more 5-10 yard passers.

I really believe the side has to become more settled also. Too many changes of personnel and formations has not helped. Last season the front 5 and two centre halves were pretty much set in stone. This season we see continual rotation at centre half and constant swapping and changes on the flanks and with the two number 8s. Similarly the 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 of last year has changed this year to playing 3 at the back. Just need a bit of continuity.

We don’t need to provide the motive.

The evidence is well.... self evident.
