Pep doesn't look too happy with the finishing.

Would help if he did something in training on finishing and set pieces

 

[I'm Blue]

Normally I wouldn’t be arsed with goal difference but under the new format it may be pivotal it how we progress.

Doku and Savinho need to swap

Savinho has been poor by his standards when he's had the ball. Most of our attacks have gone down the other side in fairness.

I agree i really want him to do well, technically on the ball he looks well off it

The noticeable gap in quality is stark between nunes and the other midfielders. It’s not his fault, the level is high and some won’t reach it. If he is happy for a squad place then it’s no big deal. Decent player but not at the level required.

This game should be out of sight and put to bed.

Then wholesale changes to get some minutes jn players legs that need it.

Second half will be more of the same then will turn into a keep ball exercise.

Look at Dortmund tonight. No fucking about. Ruthless!!!!

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Not actually playing all that great tbh but even if all 11 players had the worst games of their career, we’d still win. We don’t attack well. It’s the easiest game we’ll have all season to create chances but the ruthlessness is just not there.

Next goal so important

for me to stay wake

 

[paulsimpson]

Good first half . We should be 4 or 5 up.

 

[Blu1]

Dominating but these are conference level. We just don’t look like an elite European team. Something just not right with us for a few games now.

We really need another striker who operates like Aguero or tevez not halland all the time. We are so predictable & if nobody looks for erling it’s pointless playing him especially when teams just sit back so much.

A lot of these other top teams ( Barca, Dortmund and unfortunately Arse) are scoring for fun. We really need some goals, ffs even Celtic put 5 past them.
