I'm not going to blame any of our players now. Yes, including Sissoko. First 45 minutes were decent, we lacked creativity which was our usual problem, but we managed to fluidly transfer the balls to wings, make spaces both for Son and Doherty, if we put Ndombelly instead of Dele there we would look much better. Defence was solid, we kept James relatively silent, he couldn't find spaces to shor or make a decisive pass. Midfield was fine distributing the ball and closing spaces, we showed some, more or less good pressing. And then, this fucking tactical tweak leaving us with no midfield, with plenty of space for both Richarlison and James, no pressing, and most important, no fucking point. Then Winks got off and all that was damaged when Sissoko came on just fallen into pieces, we were all over the place, no matter who got the ball he had no options to pass, Lucas on wing? only 1 pass backwards available. Sissoko in midfield? Same. Stevie on wing? Nope, one backwards. No matter who we had on pitch, cr7, Messi, Iniesta, this had no chance to work. Absolutely stunning decisions by Jose, I don't understand ANY of them, especially when we had more of the game in first half. Doherty's chance, Dele's chance, Son with 2 or 3 chances to 1v1 with a defender and shoot. Shocking. And again, Ndombele gets thrown into middle of this shitshow and is going to be blamed for terrible performance. Like what could he do? Like what could anyone do here?
