Lyon CL QF Post-Match Thread

No, it wasn't- he barely touched him

Walton said it shou!dnt have stood and he never back us

Pep made a big mistake but we had big problems at CB which he tried to solve by a defensive formation and 3 at the back.

What problems?

Laporte was badly injured and hasn't fully recovered yet, at least not form wise. Garcia is talented but far from ready for this level. Dinho is finished, as is Ota. Stones has ruined his career with personal issues and countless injuries. Walker was great against Madrid but has big mistakes in him and Cancelo isn't a LB while Mendy is unreliable. So, we haven't invested well in defence, that's the harsh truth. Laporte will regain form though, so it's not hopeless. Season was transitional. We couldn't have won against Bayern or PSG with that defence anyway.

If we'd scored that you wouldn't complain

Wtf does this even mean? Major refereeing errors matter. Things don’t happen in isolation. This is 3 years in a row that a ref/VAR totally fucked it

No, it wasn't- he barely touched him

who fucking cares how much he touched him? It’s a trip. It doesn’t take much to trip someone who’s running. Tell me you believe if that was Jesus on Denayer that would have stood?

how come it only takes 1 pass to consistently split our defence and put an opposing player clean through on goal, where's the defensive organisation from Pep and his coaching team. The better team with more top class players at its disposal failed miserably, again.

It's the same goal every week and the coaching team haven't improved the defending one bit.

One small consolation, Bayern would have shredded us.

this team isnt strong enough, they lost the will and doubt crept in. this team wouldnt score twice against qpr in injury time

 

[eyalluvitt]

As bad as we were the diving and playacting of Lyon was disgusting, aided and abetted by a weak ref and Stevie Wonder on VAR duties. I hope Bayern's Panzer division rumble through their defence at will & get double figures.

 

[kaz7]

How? If anything we should be the ones embarrassed by that performance?

We won at CAS

 

[Cobwebcat]

7th place team in French Division

One off game

Laporte was awful against Spurs last season too.
