We are so lucky that the rest of the group is trash. We could end up with 0 points after 2 games and still be only 4 points behind the 1st spot. This CL season can get ugly. We still havent faced the strongest team in this group.
We're fine, Gladbach have shown nothing, goal against the run of play and we're creating chances, Benzema and Vini need to play much better in the second half though, especially Vini.
Rest of the group have points and are above us. We’re rock bottom on zero points. It’s us that are trash right now.
lots of random passing about in and around the opposition area, no clinical finisher, lacking ideas , same old same old, on to the next half, we just don't create much danger when we attack, i don't care who i just hope we can score somehow in the second half
Controlling the game but not much end product with the second to final touch. I think we'll turn this around and grab the win.
Such and easy game for Borussia,they just defend against our "mighty" attack and wait for a counter or a mistake.We cant create anything,uselles passing ,no dribling,no creatvity,no movement.........im not suprised and im not disapointed,we are just not CL level.
No cutting edge in the final third. Opposition teams are not really under pressure due to that even if we have a lot of possession. Lucas lost Thuram in that goal move.
we have zero attacking presence. Benz back to himself (missing mostly and dropping to midfield), Vinnie, as much as he progressed - he ain't going to provide our goals. nothing from Marco. honestly, these are thing Zidane can't fix. he can't also score for the players.
I'd put Hazard and Jović in on the halftime for Benz and Vini. Not gonna happen, but those two are really bad. Mendy seems lost when he passes the player, doesn't know what to do with the ball. It could be the positioning of others, I'm not sure...
Our team looks like it can't buy a goal at this point. Asensio looks like the only dangerous player out there at the moment. Can't believe I'm saying this but I would bring on Jovic and let Asensio/Vazquez cross to him.
Hasn't Gareth Bale played more than Eden Hazard this season? I wonder. This will be tragic if he hasn't played even though it's nearly November. He's flopping pretty hard so far.
No faith in Benzema to score and bring us back into it. This is our main striker.... Velverde and Vinicius are the only ones making runs to open up space.
Our problem is we can't breakdown a team that sits deep. If a team opens up and we have space then we have a chance. When they packed it in, we have no one to make the difference. Benzema is nullified. Vinicius and his speed is nullified. Asensio is nullified once his name is put in the team sheet. Besides Valverde running into the box we're pretty easy to frustrate and defend.
Vinicious only knows how to run maybe he is going to run faster but play better I doubt it people are so blind to see just how average he is as a footballer he should have been an athlete in the tracks I am sorry I just hope zidane gives the same amount of chances to rodrygo who is clearly better but has to play on the right because vinicious can't control the ball with the inside of his foot.
Score with what service? Van Nistelrooy couldn't score with Asensio and Vinicius (bottled up). With that said Benzema doesn't have a pulse today.
In theory, when the opposition sits back deep, we’re supposed to test the keeper with long range shots, not sure anyone other than Kroos on the pitch can do that accurately.
This team need much more than Mbappe to compete again for the Champions league.Benzema needs world class replacemend(Haaland?)and i like Vinicius but he is not the player for the left wing. The gap in quality between our attacking players and Mane/Salah...Gnabry/Koman Neymar/Mbappe etc is so big .
