We’re in some distorted reality at the moment where Emerson has been semi-effective going forward yet absolutely nowhere to be seen defensively, Leao’s had the flank to himself in our half and Romero’s struggled coping with him.
1-0 HT. Another very poor first half and conceded another ****ty goal. Kulusevski and Perisic particular lowlights, as well as the Simpsons ref. I doubt we'll make any changes at the break, but we should.
1-0 down, but impressed with that overall. We look hungry and have played some decent football in that half. I can see us turning this round if we come out like this in the second half. Milan have barely had the ball!
Skipp and especially Sarr been very good. Kane also challenging for everything but feeding off scraps as per usual. The other 7 outfield players might as well have had the day off.
1-0 HT Poor goal to concede but our response has generally been good. Determined and energetic if lacking in quality and end product. The likes of Son, Perisic and Kulu need to step up massively. The first two in particular are just passengers for huge chunks of games atm. Very impressed with Sarr. So composed and reads the game with a maturity beyond his years. I'd say he is probably ahead of Skipp in the pecking order and tbh there's a strong case to bring Bissouma into that equation too.
IMO Romero was fouled in the lead up to their goal. Player jumped into him. If that is the defender jumping into an attacker, it's a penalty.
I reckon we are about the 9th or 10th best team in Europe and they're two or three places below that.
Which restaurant does everyone think Kjaer is taking the ref to later? Nice little Italian meal for Valentines Day.
Since they scored they have sat back and we have created nothing, tidy enough in possession but doing nothing to really hurt them, and don't see anyone on the bench to change that, maybe Danjuma for Son? Or its Champions League maybe Moura could summon up his inner Amsterdam!!
