    Their passing & movement is sensational

    Every system is vulnerable in wide areas with Madrids players and passing ability. So far they haven't exploited anything.

    Oh come on.. they are finding spaces behind wingbacks ony with off the ball attacking runs to stretch the back 3 all the time.

    they have exploited that space.
     
    Real Madrid have so much more class going forward. They have Isco, Bale and Benzema while we have Jesse fecking Lingard starting. Sorry my friends, but that's the difference between top class sides and also rans.
     
    I've said it before and I'll say it again 352 simply doesn't work.

    You have both pogba and magic having to cover the gaps by the three and barely pushing out

    We're sweating Buckets out there lol. We can't close the space because of the heat

    Tbf, Madrid are playing in the same conditions. We should just try to complete more than three passes in a row instead of chasing them around like headless chickens.
     
    Look at the positions Marcelo and Carvajal take up and the dimensions they add to attacking play. That's the type of style we should be replicating -- not make our actual wingers drop back into our half...
     
    Is Pogba except from Mourinho telling him what to do? He hogs the ball and could have played a school boy ball through and Mourinho claps. Then he tries to do god knows what instead of clearing the fooooking ball which leads to there goal.

    Surly Mourinho has to tell don't try and be a foooking hero in our 3rd of the pitch???
     
    Spend another £100 million and we might be able to string two passes together...
     
    Massive gulf in class. Need Jose to clear out all this deadwood - that's bound to do the trick.
     
    Need to change something. We're just inviting them on.
     
    Team still possesses average players. LB and both CB's dont look up for it. Jessie Lingard. Cant understand why we didnt recruit better in the summer. We clearly are short of quality

    Kroos has been one of the biggest bargain buys in recent memory. Just an outstanding player.

    Stunned Bayern let him go and gutted we weren't in for him. I would take him over Pogba any day. I'd prob take him over other CM in the world honestly.
     
    We were better for 15', then they started to dominate possession and took us to the ropes.

    This certainly shows how far away we are from top European sides - massive gulf in class of players when we have players such as Darmian and Lingard starting, with all respect to them.

    We should have replaced these players last summer, let alone this. I like Mourinho but he's taking things too slowly. We needed more aggressive improvement.
     
    This is like boys versus men at the moment lol. Despite the size and physicality of our players, we look far from a dominant side. Pogba, Herrera and Matic needs to retain the ball better.

    Mhkitaryan looks like the only player capable of doing something.

    If this is the best Jose can come up with after more than a year in the job he should start packing up his office.

    We're not even close.

    A whole year with a 6th placed side playing the champions league winners? Honestly some fans want their heads examined.
