Monaco - Post Match thread.

[WNRH]

I disagree with you here mate about his mental attitude, after that miss v Chelsea he has been far short of his undoubted ability, even in that game alone 5 minutes after the miss he let a pass go completely between his legs and out for a throw in. Against Stoke last week after he chose the wrong option and tried a difficult outside of the foot pass to Aguero instead of just rolling an easier pass to Sane, he sat on the floor with his head in his hands. Things are going for him at the moment but that's when you need to just keep working hard, put it behind and keep going, i think he dwells on the poor stuff tbh.
As for that last minute free kick..................

My thing with KDB is his is an "instinct" player. Put him under pressure and he will pick a pass or whip a cross in or ever shoot. With the position he plays at the moment, he has lots of time on the ball, too much time to think and makes stupid passes. It's like Aguero, brilliant in and around the box when in tight spaces but a different player when he has time to think.

I genuinely wonder how much of an impact having a baby has had.

I was one of those parents who had a child who did not sleep, and I know the look on Kev's face lately. I don't think it's a fitness thing, it's exhaustion.

Was thinking the same fella, babys that dont sleep drain you !

Oh he's definitely been piss poor for a while. But I guess I find it hard to call him mentally weak when he's scored big big goals in big big
Moments in games.

Had yaya started he'd have moved the ball far, far better than Fernandinho bloody did, that's for sure.

Monaco would of taken advantage of Yaya's poor off the ball skills. We would of been better off in closing the game out with him.

Let's be frank here - less Sane and Stones, that team was basically last season's with a core lots of players from Mancini's time. Is it any wonder we struggle against young, fit sides that run a lot?

I accept that but it's almost like that miss v Chelsea has had a massive effect on j=him, almost like he's got the 'yips' since it. I hope he turns it around quickly.

I know Pep is getting a lot of criticism for last night but his hands are tied defensively and the only change i would have done was Yaya for Fern but who knows what would have happened then, they'd have by passed him and the outcome would have been the same and he'd still be getting criticism.

You're wasting your breath mate, we play how we play and that's that. If you think we should have played a Toure, or a Fernando, or a Delph, to give us a more solid base, then you want us to turn into Stoke. That's how silly the level of discussion has become

Prize for the silliest post of the thread

I sincerely hope Klopp was otherwise engaged last night cos I don't want the red scouse to ruin our weekend.

If it's any consolation I'm still on Nice front and it's proper warm and beer is cold.

Anyway carry on. :)

The way our fantastic five got pushed like little girls was embracing.
Got bullied all over the pitch. Bunch of fruitcakes.
