I think our fundamental problem is that when we play against attacking sides, we’re given the space to flourish. Unfortunately, defensive teams are able to shut us down and we can’t get past them.You can see there's something to the way we play worth perserving with. We're inconsistent, and prone to spectacular self destruction but there's something there potentially exquisite.
Think if you throw 100 million at the defence and another 50 million on the wing (quality not fleeced by relegation teams) and we'd be something to see
It’s been anything but smash and grab. It’s been perfect so far.
After the first ten minutes , we have done very well . Tired legs later could take its toll . Subs will be very important
What we don't need to do is go out and play with the intention of scoring a quick one to put a nail in the coffin - but accept that the Pep talk from Pep will be similar, ie. go out, put them on the back foot and score early and get them panicking ( see Brighton for details.)I'm terrified because now this club makes so little sense, that now that you'd expect us to win, we might royally fuck it up.
As for the first half, apart from the opening 7 minutes, fucking sensational. With a bit better decision making we could've had another 1 or 2. Madders and Kulusevski have been brilliant, Sarr has absolutely dominated the midfield as well. As for the defence, this is the Dragusin that we thought that we bought from Genoa.
Playing very, very well.

The pattern is just too consistent.
If you have android into the stands app is pretty reliable.
AGAIN !
