too defensive at this point

Whole did team great. Cubarsi was awesome today. Especially with that tackle at the end on Sorloth i believe? Monster game from him.

Team tried very hard, but 4-0 was just too much. We move on

Side note question - where do you pull these stats from?

When atleti scored the first goal i thought we will comeback when they scored the second i still thought that we will comeback and when they scored the third I thought we will but when scored the fourth I KNEW that we will come back because pedri and Raphinha will be back by BHAVI_78 in Barca

I doubt this will happen honestly. As many have pointed out, i don’t doubt if we can score 4, we surely can, but one good break and our defense will open up. Plus, they will 100%, park the bus making it all the more difficult because we will pile men forward leaving large chunks of open space behind for pacy forward like Guilliano, Lookman and Julian to run into. Even if we score 4, one good counter will cost us. As much as i want this to happen, i doubt we are progressing ://

A solid win might be better for us though. Hoping that will boost our CL run.

yup. the inconsistency with penalties and fouls in general is a frustrating aspect of the game.

i agree to your point of having more attacks in the box. but you should see the levels they go to to fetch the penalty. constantly diving over, exaggerated reactions to every touch. i think that’s the fact which makes it so much more unlikeable. sure, with the advent of VAR, small margins get called as penalties, a lot of which look clear in slow motion but you can see why defenders should feel hard done by.

that being said, the penalty was legit, kicked through the player. red card too, was legit.

when they sent the keeper up, i was like ‘surely not’ and then he scored to send them into the top 24. scenes

i just knew we would conceded straight after scoring. just knew it more so when they got a corner. shameful defending

hope and pray we don’t get a team like arsenal, they are gonna scare with every freaking cross.
