It ain't physical. It's a mentality issue. And a coaching one.
You think these players are being badly coached?

Radu did two phases in which he showed the Italian defense school. Super defense, sportsman, cancellation of the opponent within the sports limit. Bravo to him! is the player who leads the defense.I think the only change will be Sarr in for Skipp from last nights starting 11.
Johnson and Hojbjerg coming off the bench was a great decision and might be useful again.
Also love the fact when we need to shut up shop he brings on Dragusin and we end up with a back 3 on the ball and a 5 without it.
Tough game for us but any win there will be good due to how quick it comes after last night.
Ha. Yeah an endless cycle of trophy dodging but it seems to be what the fan base want. League cup every 25 years or so is plenty.
Throw in modern fans preferring top 4 over trophies which suits greedy owners like ours.
I agree the prioritising top 4 to then bow out of all the cups to prioritise qualifying for it again makes no sense to me either. But that’s modern football. I’d prefer to actually win stuff but that’s very low on our list of priorities.
Execpt that when we've been in the CL we've only once gone out "Early" or before christmas and it was the very first time we were in it.And if we reach that goal, we'll probably bow out early so we can concentrate on...............Qualifying for the Champions League

What meltdown?

All I'm seeing is people who are angry and pissed at the way we bottled it, getting a ngry and upset with other posters for being angry and pissed with the way we bottled it![]()

Far better to look at, sure.
The vast majority of goals are scored inside the 6 yard box and especially inside the penalty box. Richy’s second is a statistical outlier.
They had several shots/headers in and around the 6 yard box.
Possession doesn’t always win matches, possession and creation does. We need to do more with our possession and I suspect as Maddison and Bentancur get healthy, Bissouma and Son return, and Sarr is back in the fold, we will get back to creating a hell of a lot more than we did today.
You are utterly devoid of passion.

Spreadsheet loving, happy clapping, Levy shagging, non-entity.
I get called a gooner mole because I meltdown and get angry when we don't win, you act like you give zero fucks.

Oooh poor me, my football team didn’t win, we are terrible, we always have been, we always will be. It’s all ……..’s fault.
Why is life so unfair on me
