Shockingly easy to create chances against and shockingly bad at creating them. Needs sorting at h/t.Bruno, Pogba and Ronaldo..our biggest 3 names, 2 of them are almost always shit in big encounters and one is a finished player.
Not a surprise we look like boys in such games when these are the big names we're depending on to carry the team through tough situations.We can't play against shithouses. The players are rattled.
That gap between midfield and the front 3 is worrying too.
Simeone masterclass.AM want it more. Working way harder than us. If we can keep it at 1-0, id take it back to old trafford.This is just a lesson for this forum about what a good football team looks like.
Good football teams are organised, aggressive, smart, athletic, cunning, hard-working AND talented.
We have some talent and basically none of the restPredictable first half. Second to every ball, Maguire at fault for the goal, Pogba strolling around, Rashford can't cross a ball to save his life.If we find a way to lock them in their dressing room at half time, we might get a draw out of this.Really poor. Sluggish start. Usual suspects just giving the ball away and getting caught in possession. Atletico very comfortable with us in possession and getting good turnovers. Bruno Fernanded having another stinker in a big match. Rashford and Sancho anonymous. Lindelöf at RB doesn’t look justified.
Still a long way to go.Think we're missing DalotI can't with this team. The high number of dumbass players is too much
Look at that last FK ffs, we ain't going nowhere with this Rsorry set of players nor with this "manager"
Bruno, Pogba, Fred and Rashford aren't made for this level. They're just too stupid too often That's what we need, our worst player on the ball to come on!We just shit our pants against teams that know how to press us.That midfield just doesn't work against this lot, need a shake up.Outmuscled.
Tactically outplayed.
Desire? Do we have any?
Pogba, Varane, Rashford, Ronaldo....all poor.playing like absolute cowards, Pogba is patheticThis is Jose/LvG/Moyes levels of boring and fecklessfeck it, I'm gonna put a cheeky fiver on us to win.
Why? He’d look like Telles within a couple of weeks. Nothing wrong with our current players, we have just somehow managed to recruit 5 bad managers on the bounce now.
Lindelof has been the only defender who showed up. My first choice to come off would be Maguire but Ralf won’t do that so it should be Varane.
Varane?? Surely Maguire, Maguire has put us more danger than he's cleared.That was a class clearance header by lindelof, right on the postDefensive header from Victor. I like.Was that even a performance? What the feck were we doing?
It's shocking that none of our wide players can put in a decent cross consistently.Still in it, their annoying little fouls stopping what little momentum we can muster , frustrating as feckWas exactly how I’d have predicted a game against Atletico Madrid would go from us. Second to every ball. Giving it away so easy under their press. Any momentum we are fouled. Wide open when they get the ball. Looking like a hungover pub team playing 1970 Brazil.Distinctly second best tonight. Loads of stale possession, have absolutely no chance of getting a shot on target, let alone a goal in this game if things continue as they are. We will do well to keep this 1 0 going into the 2nd leg as things stand, but Ralf needs to change things at the break to see if we can get into this game, starting with putting an actual right back on.Our midfield three, just brutal.
Bruno moaning when he should be sorting his own game out.
It's too fast for Pogba.
Fred an irrelevance.Awful half. Thank god they've not put the game beyond doubt already.
Exactly, we're no better.How on earth can we be this badThat first half:
Far from that last chance being "unlucky", it was outrageously lucky!
Cross takes a deflection which means matey gets a header on it, which he totally mucks up, heading it onto Lindelof, who then heads it by accident towards his own goal!I fecking hate playing spanish teams.Got admit, I find it funny that people think McTominay will make any difference.
We got dominated by Villareal, Atalanta, City, Wolves, Watford etc. with him in midfield (you could almost name every team in the PL, to be honest). Just need to accept that Atletico have better players and teamwork built up over a long time. They have stability.
Manutd needs an overhaul in the player department; it is just nowhere near good enough.
Looks very good doesn't he. Hard to tell though, he's playing usHerrera and Llorente are living my dream. I'd love to kick some of our players without any repercussions.If we get over the nerves we'll have a shot. Need some urgency from our midfield because they've been dominated. Terrible half but I think we could easily get back into this.Only 1-0. Ralf needs to earn his pay in the changing room- Status
