Maybe 343 will help the get best out of Doherty? If we play it right this could be a good way to get good ball into Vini and get Bale playing a bit closer to him there should also be less requirement for Bale to get back, he needs 90 mins tonight.
Having no midfield was the problem that lead to them being exposed. We've done the same thing again, but now it's a back three.

Close by Tanganga. No foul but I don't think that's a corner, either. Bale puts it wide, too. Should hit the target.
Tanganga's hurt his shoulder. Not sure how, as he didn't actually land on it, but that looks like he's done himself some damage. He really seems to have awful luck with injuries.
The old, old story in Europe... ...unable to keep hold of the ball and consequently, totally disjointed. Let's hope that we don't concede.
I lost the will to live watching Cyberpunk streams on Twitch and got a bastard migraine as a result Yes, that sentence does make sense
We've got Alli, Dele Alli, I just don't think you understand. Interesting to hear the crowd singing that.
I think that's more to do with the quality of the matches at the moment, to be honest. I can understand why he'd have difficulty coming up with anything interesting to say about this one. We've not looked good in most of these Europa games.
Nice attempt by Lo Celso, despite having to hit it with the outside of his boot because he's got no right foot.
I think if we had another midfielder on the pitch we’d probably be 1-0 up. There’s not enough options when we break and so all our forwards are being easily marked. Was really stupid playing 5 at the back against this sort of opposition.
