It doesn’t, but it would stop Kean, McKennie and Kostic playing as wingers which makes them even more incompetent than they otherwise would be.

If we don’t have wingers in the team, can you stop playing a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2 please? Unless you think that formations don’t matter and football is all about just passing to the people in the same coloured shirts as you.

The VAR in Italy is bullshit. I don’t care for watching the other teams as the league is dull as fuck. The common theme in our games is that if a goal could possibly be ruled out that we score or a penalty could be given against us, you can guarantee VAR will send the ref to see it. The ref will...

We are no better than last season. Funny that when Dinosaur fields an attacking line up with two lightweight centre mids, we get cut wide open through the middle continuously:

There’s no point playing good football and losing. So what difference does it make if you play shit football and lose? Max logic.

Burger and Kean. Excitement personified.

I think it was when we had Sarri in charge. Pirlo changed every week for the whole season. Allegri hasn’t figured out his best team or ideal formation 18 months in and has also had to deal with constant injuries.

What smart strategy. If you rarely have the ball around the opposition box then it’s likely you won’t get countered and can keep goals conceded to a minimum.

This 18 month spell reaffirms my belief about him as a coach. He has a relaxed approach that he likes to transmit to the team and his strengths are: organise the team out of possession, preparing for one off games tactically and reading a game in transition and adapting to it. His flaws are...

You could see the shit stains on his shorts produced when he was isolated within 20 metres of Mbappe. Might need to call that psychologist back.

Retirement is calling you.

What difference does it make whether you lose 4-0 or 2-1. It’s still a loss. Anyone can turn around and play with 10-15 minutes when they realise they finally have nothing to lose. Real characters actually come out with that mentality and desire, this side is not only lacking in ability but is...

You can. Neymar came from behind Paredes to show for the ball. Paredes couldn’t be bothered to move because he his a big pay day. Neymar is facing the goal on the edge of the box with no pressure on the ball. Great pass, but an age to pick it in the first 5 minutes of a game.

Was looking for the word and I think this is it. Soulless. Any sportsman worth a grain of salt would go down fighting instead of admitting defeat before it’s even started and not give a shit.

Maintained for a long time Allegri doesn’t coach this team at all on patterns of play with the ball and off the ball movement. The players just want to get in position without the ball, but the moment we have it no one knows what to do.

The function of a sweeper is to sweep up nothing and to play any opponent onside. What a player Bonucci is.

I find it hard limiting this mentality to just him. The vast majority of our team has been plagued by this mentality of taking the safe option and being risk averse; this has been a common theme through the span of 3 different coaches.

Well at least he should be back in time for the Europa league knockouts. He has the required experience of winning that.

Can’t recall ever looking forward to a CL game less than today. Probably have to harp back to the time CL had two group phases instead of R16 knockout. Question is if we concede one or two goals, do we just sit in and accept the ‘healthy’ loss or do we bother actually showing any character...

He hasn’t looked overawed at any stage. I think he has an elite mentality (especially when compared to the majority of our squad). I’d have no doubts about fielding him in this game and go with Rabbit-Locatelli-Miretti.
