We are playing effective counter attacking football against a high pressing team. That is not a tactic thats going to be successful against relegation fodder team. Lozano irritates me, he jogs during counter attack
Lozano I actually have liked this game, he makes runs inbehind the defense where even if he doesnt get the ball it takes pressure of the defense. Also he has pressured Alisson a couple times into rushing a kick which led to giving us possession.
Zielinski played a perfect give and go but Lozano was jogging. Would have been a 1v1 if he just kept running.
We did the job though... Even if it looks like we're only getting 2nd, it really doesn't matter who we play in the KO... We have the same chances of knocking out Barcelona as we do knocking out Brescia
Wasn't pretty but who gives a ********? This team DESTROYED Barcelona who had 10 men back 4-0 just a few months ago. Amazing performance, Ancelotti got the tactics right. The result is what matters and the fact is Liverpool scored 1 goal on us in 2 games and it was off a corner. Ancelotti in the Champions League with us has 1 loss in 11 games. We've also only conceded 9 goals against the likes of Liverpool 4 times and PSG twice. Say what you want about Ancelotti, we don't play great and in the league we've looked like complete shit, but the players still fight for him and he's been getting the right results in Europe.
