Good thing I know we won this match because we started off very poor and could've easily been down multiple goals.

Our tempo isn't good enough and the naivete is why we are always second best in CL


Ah - Red card conditioned the match
The first 20 minutes we looked like we were in a training session... It was truly concerning and quite frankly embarrassing.

I didn't feel worried we'd concede though. I said previously, we made them look better by us being so average.

We didn't come out with any desire or urgency.

Then the second half we had so much space, weirdly though their middle. I was right gegi.d their goal, 2nd row and the bite was great to see us attacking. They opened up so many times, but our players lacked thrust or were told to walk the ball into the goal.

Despite their red card and being numerically down, for large parts of the game we had 1/2 players go missing regularly.

The set up was childish, amateur is being way too nice... Fuck stats and control blah blah, we looked bereft of confidence or clear ideas.

Reijnders needed that
He wasn't doing much and was mostly involved in negative plays before the goal.

RLC remains in the goals
Both were very average, Deers tried moving, but the lack of movement off the ball was pretty worrying.

Calabria with a double block to save the blushes

Wow - 4-2 really flattered us.
This is another poor Euro showing in my opinion.

Woeful

It was a truly odd match... Great to see so many issues I've gone on about being real and not in my head lol.

Honestly, the camera follows the ball, but when you see everything happening in front of you it's truly scary how bad we can be.

How anyone can defend our current situation is beyond me... We're only where we are because other teams are worse, it's embarrassing.

But the stats don't lie right... Still in the EL, 2 goals up from the first leg, and in the top 4...

Great win and to be there too.

Not bad to attend a game and have 6 goals and a red.

Ideally, we should settle this tie in the first leg, at home - just like we did vs Rennes.

My predicted XI: Maignan; Florenzi, Thiaw, Gabbia, Theo; Musah, Reijnders, RLC; Chukwueze, Jovic, Leao.

Forza Milan!
