It's better to have game like this now than in the knockout stages, that's the only positive I can see. Ohh and that Rabiot headshot was quite satisfying moment.
Completely out played, we didn't even show up. Limited options due to injuries. We were fucked from the start. You can't go in hoping for a draw, just doesn't work 99 percent of the time.
The experts on here who think playing "proper" wingers like kuku and chiesa in such a game would offer a better result..would have been 8-0. No quality to hold the midfield, no workrate and no tenacity means you can't do shit as if we have prime vidal here lolz

So managed to tune in to see us concede .
After I saw that bi**h rabishit lose the ball, care free 20 meters from our goal to put kante in a position to score, I decided to replicate his on the pitch demeanor and started reading a book.
Boy, do I feel like I bought the golden ticket, after seeing the final result.
This team do not deserve tifosi on the stands. Singinig and cheering, from turin to london for what? 90minutes of humiliation. Fuck everyone from agnelli to instagram page admin
We really struggled with their intensity. It's clear that many of our players are not used to games where you have very little time or basically no time on the ball. Their pressing lead to us making multiple mistakes on the ball and those kinds of mistakes cost you dearly at this level. We also massively struggled wit their set-pieces, mainly corners. In a way I think it's good to face these kinds of test from time to time, it shows you the level you need to get to in order to be at the absolute top. Sadly we're still miles off, thankfully in today's game the stakes weren't that high.
As I said. For this team to be competitive again we need:
-Starting RB
-Starting LB
-Starting CB
-2 starting Mids
-1 Rotational winger
-1 starting ST
A bunch of role players not named rabishit, bentanshit, arturd, Sandro(so bad that even mds looks good compared to him) , kulu , rugano.
By my estimates we need at least 2 summer Mercato windows to get there, granted we make the correct picks.
