1. We lost because of Guintoli. Conceicao, Yildiz, and Muani are plenty if you have a decent CM who can get forward. It totally disrupts the opposition having that goal scoring CM. I saw Khedira on the show and think that someone like McTominay would transform us. How we got Luiz, Koopmeiners, and Nico yet all are junk is abnormal and they cannot play for us again. Also, once Yildiz disappears from the game, who would take over and become a goal threat? Surely you need that attacking midfielder to step up. Guintoli is an absolute criminal for this because our defence suffers badly from his transfers.
2. I've been saying that we need pace and versatility so Weah and Mbangula would've been far better than Kostic and Nico. We're chasing the game and it's not acceptable to make those subs. On a tight budget, you keep players with versatility, pace, and youth because we'll get injuries and suffer fatigue. You cash in on Kostic and Nico and give a shot to the hungry players. When Nico is repeatedly shit, Mbangula should get minutes ahead of him.
3. You can't play 3 at the back against big clubs unless you have BBC with Evra and Lichtsteiner. Play 4 at the back and it gives you flexibility to put extra DM yet keep some attacking intent. You can't win these games when you're forced back all game, especially when you sub your most exciting players off.
4. Tudor needs a hard think about his formation and tactics. That's two consecutive games where he came short with his stubborn decisions. Madrid reacted in the second half and closed out the game comfortably.
