Classic lamps team so so open. Suicidal play. We should be locking up and playing counter in the hope we can get 1-1 or at least take 1-0 back to bridge 

Exactly. All those memories are flooding back

Enzo, Chilwell and Fofana seem to be feeling the magnitude of the game.

Nope I think kova has been dire and enzo and kante are carrying him

Yeah, the team always manages to balance the poor individual perfomances very well.

Haven’t don’t too poor. Midfield needs to wake up. 

I think we have been massively outclassed so far. They look dangerous every single time they get on the ball.

Edited April 12, 20233 yr by Scott Harris

Can understand Kepa hitting it long considering we have been completely incapable of passing the ball through them from our own half, but we have no outlet. Havertz surely will be the first sub.

There is no cohesion! 

Fofana and Sterling have been absolutely awful

We're going to get done on the counter about 4 more times, I suspect.

Have to agree. Kova and Sterling just aren't in it so far.

Kante is looking pretty good, but he's obviously not upto the pace of this game

I totally forgot Sterling is on the pitch! Where is he?!

Yes Kova has being poorer tbh but the three men midfield its not working out

We're making far too many hospital passes ... player receiving the ball is in immediate trouble ...

Playing the Kai role quite well! 

Kante has had four different managers in his last four games. Quite the record

I think that’s the game plan this first leg. Keep it tight. 
 

All of our best players are on yellows. Go into the next leg much more adventurous when cards reset. 

Main difference is that Madrid players have been playing together for seasons while our team hasn’t been playing for more than a few months together. Apart from the difference in quality as well.

Better from Fernández - quick switch to Fofana actually meant we had two players in some space.

Why are we so open?

Id' like to see Mudryk getting in behind Madrid.

Always seems to be the case with us. A few good performances, a few mid performances and another few that stink the place out.

Felix too, he missed a great chance and has constantly lost the ball ever since

Fofana has been appalling so far. 

Fofana MUST come off

Fofana is feeling the pressure. The yellow card didn't help.
