Got lucky twice. He's clearly going to be a good player, and his distribution is very good, but he's got a mistake or two in him much like Greaves at that age.
You can feel the nerves from both teams, really gutted for Matazo, but we're struggling to break them down, not sure where a goal is gonna come from but need to up the pace, seems to be slowing down as we hit their third, more urgency needed.
Second game in a row Hughes has made a mistake which nearly cost us. Of course, the adoration society on Twitter don't seem to have noticed. I think he is still pretty error prone personally.
If we start progressing the ball down both sides effectively instead of just the left every time we can cause them some problems. We've had nearly 70% possession in that half and done very little with it. When we get it to Joseph quickly he's doing a decent job but he's far too isolated and having to attempt 'doing a Delap' every time.
Sometimes it just happens. Incredibly bad luck. Madrid lost Courtois, Militão and Alaba to ACL injuries last season. Courtois and Militão were just a few days apart and Alaba a few months later. Militão’s done his ACL on his other knee this season.
Macca did a bad one near the end too , but like you I think Hughes commits too early sometimes like Coyle , if they watch Lincoln he positions himself to cover whichever way the player goes . But Hughes will learn
