Igor shoehorned too many players into strange positions today. We'd have been better off with Spence at RWB, Souza in a LWB, Tel at LW, with Galla and Gray or Biss in CM.

Gray probably could have been more useful as a CB or RCB than Dragusin or Palhinha was.

You can argue he had poor candidates to choose from for starters, but also that he made the team weaker by putting players where they shouldn't be played, producing an overall suboptimal result.
Re-arranging deckchairs on the titanic ... limited players available. Hopefully Igor can turn this ship around though.
 
You seen goals given for that. It's merely a touch and he fell like getting shot. It's biasness from the ref no doubt.
Kolo Muani gotta be cuter and not a stupid pussy. Play like a proper CF. Get your body in front of Gabriel to begin with, keep the cunt at bay using your arm or upper back or even backside, take the ball on the turn, hit it...goal. I learned that when I was 7 or 8 years old.
 
Thought we held on bravely for the first bit, then got lucky with the Kolo goal.

And all was righted in the universe by Dr T at the start of the second half and the softest of disallowed goals.

We huffed and puffed but have too many players who can’t see the pitch in their play - Simons (and Solanke when he came on and Kolo to some extent) are the only ones who aim to pass the ball forwards early but too often there’s no-one there. Whether that’s leftover coaching or just general lack of quality, I don’t know.

Not a positive afternoon.

I’d like to see us win again soon, please (and not just in the CL - in fact, I couldn’t care about the CL unless were guaranteed to win it).
