The return match will be a clash of an average team against above-average team. The above-average team will probably win in over-time. I would also like to add that we are not above-average.

When you defend for 89 minutes someone is bound to make a mistake. I dont blame Rabiot at all. He shouldnt have started in first place.

Danilo 6, Cuads 5.5, Morata 5.5, Loca 5.5. Dunno how they give 5.5 to de Ligt - probably because of goal, but it was never on him. He was clearing many of their moves before they happened should get 6.5 for me.

allegri 6? 666 more likely.

guy is the devil. you can't witness more sinister football anywhere else.

Frustrating game.

I thought we were really solid for the first 60 minutes. But then, in the blink of an eye & for no apparant reason, that all changed. We lost our focus & intensity, misplaced passes, stopped running, etc. Worrisome stuff.

All those injuries aren't making it any easier for us, obviously. Just look at our bench yesterday.

This is becoming a trend now.

Ajax
Lyon
Porto




Villarreal?

TBF it all started when the referee decide to completely change the way he was whistling. In the first half he whistled every soft foul, then in the second half it changed completely, there was a period before the goal when some of our attackers were pushed or grabbed few times and there was no reaction from the ref. We lost like 3 or 4 balls because of this and then lost a goal.
I know our players are pussies and go down to easily but we should also expect at least some consistency from the ref, he basically didnt allow any touch in the first half and then let quite brutal play with no fouls in the second. That shouldnt happen.

Wee weren't great before the goal, i think. We tried to kill the game, but we never had the (defensive) control we sought. We misplaced passes and couldn't string three passes together to relieve some pressure. We were asking for it.

These are really loser excuses. It's one thing to blame the ref for a blatant penalty missed or a wrongfully disallowed goal. Even then we should make our luck, but ref not calling every soft foul consistently is a really bad excuse.

Yes, actually, I thought the first half was quite decent. Defensive posture, but decisive.

It's like they can't handle the physical/mental challenge of keeping the posture, and all of a sudden, the fuckups are contagious. Morata is typically one of the first to fold. Have to get rid of these kind of players and change the identity of the team

All so so negative; There are positives too guys; Giving them total of 9 shots (The least for them this season at home) while still playing like shit on their home turf and them scoring just from our huge error in defense tells something about the potential we have as we can clearly only improve from that.

 

[Bianconero81]

We had two shots on target over 90 minutes. Our first shot was in the first minute, and then we went something like 75 minutes without registering a single shot on target. Abysmal performance. Fuck off with the blind optimism.

Some talk like we played against Genoa here.

What does it say about the state of this club and its ambition when some of us lower our standards to that of Villareal?

Clearly you don't follow much of Villareal if you really say that. No team has easy nights visiting them and Emery has clearly shown his quality as coach in cup competitions.

only two because it was Morata who was shooting, his chance after the McKennie pass should be at least a shot on target. He had like 2 big chances and none of them ended even on target.
Also that blocked shot of McKennie from like 5 meters, those were really clean chances and better team would finish those.

We're talking about the same team that lost twice to Solskjaer's united in the group stages, a team full of spurs rejects managed by an arsenal reject. Its not asking much to beat them when you take this into consideration.

Juve was the Genoa last night bro

To be fair Genoa would be able to press us more effectively and would be able to move the ball far quicker than the turd pace Villareal were moving it from side to side.
It almost felt like holding up a mirror to our previous CL performances against Porto and Lyon with the roles reversed.
