The passing has been crisp. The movement has been good. When we’ve lost the ball everyone has chased back to win it (diaz, mane, Hendo in particular). If mane sticks away one of his chances and thiago effort is 6 inches to the right would be a perfect first half. Just have to keep going. If we create another 6/7 chances then would like to think we!”” score 1 of them. If we don’t then so be it, but the performance and application has been there
Take a 0-0 back home and hope can get a victory back on your own pitch with fans. With the away goal not being a thing, a 0-0 away draw isn’t the worst result anymore as even if you then concede in second leg, still only need a draw
we have given the ball away far to easy with sloppy passes, especially Fabs. Maybe take Hendo off and bring Keita on second half then Jota for one of the front three. Can see it being 0-0, if we are lucky!
I wonder if they will open up if we score... Or just cut their losses until the return leg. Surely if they score first we will face more of the same.
Woah Thought me and Jaffa were the pessimistic ones of the forum We been decent if not a tad wasteful
Amazes me how many footballers get ‘head injuries’ from the ball hitting them. That’s richarlison in last game. 2 players in this game now.
Need more. 1 goal I think Villareal would be happy with and try it on next week. 2 and they must open up
Salah with a silly flick to give ball away. Happened twice v Everton as well. No need for it just after scoring. Just keep the ball
