MP doesn't need to kick arse. It's okay. Glik has started early for him. Fine by the ref. Ridiculous.
3 seconds of injury time? What? He's making this **** up, now. 0-0 HT. Another garbage first half. I doubt we'll see a change, but something needs to be dramatically different for the second half. We're all over the place and we're not creating anything, barring the odd moment.
I'm sick and tired of writing 'that was the worst half of football I've seen from us in a long time', as it seems to be a sentence I use with alarming frequency. If this is how we're going to play, I'd rather we lose tonight, go out, and save ourselves the embarrassment of either getting knocked out by CSKA, or being thumped by a proper team in the last 16. Why are we even in this tournament?
Well, believe it or not, last season we played with a hostile MF pressing game and fast incisive attack.
Half time report... Son utter ****e. Alli way off the pace. Dembele ineffective. Winks decent but can't beat this team alone. Kane isolated and rugby tackled when he does get the ball. Other than that, all going to plan.
Defending like ****s and pretty average in attack again. Need to get some more pace out there. Send Son to the right and N'Koudou on the left, take Dembele off. Terrible conditions though, the pitch is **** and there's clearly some very strong winds knocking the Monaco players over. Should be playing against 10 men as well. Ref bottled it.
They've made two bad tackles as well as a clear stamp on Kane and got no cards, but Dembele gets a card for clipping a players leg! UEFA refs are a nightmare. Every game whether it's Europa or Champions League is an absolute joke every with these refs. Bored of it.
