0-0 HT. Awful half. Lamela's not played that badly and he's definitely not been our worst player, but he's on a card, so get him off at the break. The rest of them need a massive kick up the arse, as that was pathetic.
The idea that we can win the EL looks fanciful at best imho. We defend poorly, pass so slowly, have so few attempts, create too few chances, win so few 50/50 balls, have so few players who are calm on the ball and have so many players who have a mistake in them.
Lucas (again) the brightest out there. Lamela is doing OK but needs to come off. As for the rest, best left unsaid...
We do seem to have several players incapable of even staying upright with the ball at the feet... Most playing like they've got jetlag. Did they move the game to Sydney and not tell anyone?
I thought that Alli was trying to be progressive with his passing, but everything else was so slow that nobody was reacting to it. He played a couple of balls into space in behind that caught the intended receiver on their heels. No pace about it and no intent.
