Watching Real Madrid this season, they seem to try and draw the opponent press onto them and get them to over-commit. Then the ball goes back to a CB who plays it long over the top to Vini or Mbappe. That's at least one of the ways I have seen a successful team try to break the deep block.How do they run onto a long ball if the other team is sitting deep? Where's the space?
A scrappy win, with some awful performances. It's time to draw a line through the Timo Werner experiment, he was awful today up front, improved slightly when moved out wide, but he has zero confidence, he is afraid of anything that's near 50 50 and he is now in the way of developing players like Moore. I can only hope he stayed on today ahead of Moore due to Moores lack of match fitness and not our managers awareness.
Johnson, not a whole lot better, again anything 50 50 sees him run a mile, yes he scored but overall that side of the pitch was awful, not helped by a poor Porro display also.
Dragusin really poor too, how is he so poor in the air, surely a man his size and strength should be dominating the aerial battles, lucky not to pick up a second yellow with some very rash challenges late on. Spence, playing out of position, looked twice the player when he came on.
I think Ange got a lot wrong today, his subs baffle me at times, but he certainly didn't get the best out of a very expensive squad today against inferior opposition.
On a bright note Mr Kinsky looks the part yet again and when Vicario returns he might have a job getting his place back. Reguilon played well also, especially considering the lack of minutes he has had.
Tough away draw against Villa, but we are still in it, unlike that shower of gooner scum![]()
Yep , we were piss poor but at the end of the day getting through is the most important thing .I think this is a game to stick in the 'forget' drawer. Not worth arguing over imo. Seen plenty of these over the years.
Yes. Yes we did win. Comfortable 3-0 win in the endHello everyone. How did it go this afternoon then? Did we win?
Never gonna get it if you don’t give them a chanceAnge clearly doesn't like starting kids that don't already have first team experience.
Their striker rugby tackled him prior to a corner being taken towards the end of the game. His ankle ended up beneath the blokes arse on the floor and got twisted as he dragged him down.Was drag injured or just taken off because he was going to get sent off and having a nightmare game
Add to the list which is ever growingI wonder if these arsehole players know how close they presently are to a lifetime of embarrassment here?
This is a disgrace of a performance. Worst under Ange. Cannot recall a worse one at all to be honest.
My good you you should work for trump. You spin everything in a positive way. How about saying they two great chance at end of full time to win.

We had chances in the 90 mins to win as well though.My good you you should work for trump. You spin everything in a positive way. How about saying they two great chance at end of full time to win.
That's good.Looks like they never had a chance, poor things.
