FEBravo These guys are much better than all English teams bar city and liverpool
They are set up really, really well. Defensively and offensively.
We are making similar mistakes to what Wenger's early sides did. We are pressing high, playing at a high tempo, like it's a PL game. European teams are too good on the ball to be caught out like that.

They're playing that same game but even better than us. Pressing insanely high, with a high tempo whenever we have the ball.
They have crazy levels of energy.
Big Willie these players ain't anything special, lots of journeyman in it but they are making us seems like we are out of our depth technically while they are dribbling and controlling balls with ease. Weird
Now we're letting them back into the game. We gotta take over again
FEBravo
Easily the best team we have faced this season bar our title challengers. They've got us at an arms length and our usual tactics aren't working.
Raya good on the ball
I don't know why we are encouraging them to press us at the back because we pass back at the first sign of pressure

There's nothing weird about it. European teams have been technically better than English teams since football began.
Think the occasion is also getting to the boys.
Their high line pressure is disrupting us and we're not getting behind them enough to make them stop. Wingers are letting us down. Ode no where to be seen too
daredevil to the point where White is mis hitting crosses, making Rice sticks out like sore thumb with his technical abilities?
I'm not convinced. I think we are extremely nervous
Fuckin Pepe. Great ball bybWhite
Clrnc We should be targetting their fullbacks, not Pepe (who is a beast in the air)
We need wing backs to get in being the line. Where's White to take over
Fuck's sake ARGH
Need to take some of these corners short , mix it up a bit
i'm sick of trossard flopping around on the ground like a fish out of water. that man is 5'5" grow a pair.
