2/2. Would be expected to win this one but backs up the nice win over milan. Tougher game next away to Leipzig although they’ve just lost 3-2 to 10 men Juve so I’d expect us to be favourites going into it. Sounds like grav has another great game. Making that position his own. Shame Nunez just got the timing of his run wrong, was a nice finish otherwise. Salah beautiful goal, but also a great run from TAA to overlap to draw away the defender from the space that Salah then stepped into.
Think it's time that fans face facts about Nunez,never going to justify his price.Its great he tries hard and runs back but we bought him as a goal scorer and he's done fa to convince me he's going to be a success story and no I'm not judging him by tonight's game alone.
At time very reminiscent of the Atalanta game. If their finishing was better or if Alison wasn't Alison, we could very well have lost that. They laid traps with their press and we almost fell into them far too often.
We played well for 25 mins, dropped off the press and got pinned in. Passing at the back was too slow and passing options were not in place or marked as passing was so slow. We pinned ourselves in then gave it away thst 25mins was excellent basically. We g9t more control in the second half especially when ninez went off. Thst lad is lost. In this system. Salah is hilarious. A quality goal and quality assist and then 3 more tragically poor efforts at assist thst could have been goals. He was in if we wanted him in on the break. Finally the ref was a jumped up little ****
For me Gravenberch, along with Alisson, were the reasons why last night's game didn't become the Atalanta game.
I felt that for the first part of the game players were very conscious of positioning and press but that dropped
Yeah I think the passages of play were so silky and we were winning the ball back with such great intensity that we thought @ 1-0 this will be a breeze. No room for that sort of complacency and I'm sure Slot will remind them of that. Love that Salah is looking for his team mates (and does have that special pass in his locker) but sometimes driving forward is the play! Gravenberch just oozing class right now, superb again.
