The finish was downstream from a good run, I'm always telling my daughter that the runs need to longer than your arm span. I know when I played there was a direct correlation between distance and openness because defenders get confused and or lazy the longer you go.
Guler just silences some of his critics. But it's essential to remember that he is just a teenager. VJ experienced numerous WTF moments at a similar age, yet we stood by him steadfastly. It's likely that Guler will encounter more surprising moments either this season or the next.
These are the comments that get me, at the 20th minute. Carlo is an accomplished apex trainer and we really sit on this forum and act like we know better. It’s truly ludicrous.
Couldn’t watch this game so would love some more analysis. How was our press? How was our chance creation? Scored 3 goals but our xG was rather low. Hearing good things about Tchouameni at CB. Looks like Asencio might have lost his role.
Finally watched the complete game. Carlo better stick to this 4-2-3-1 formation and stop messing around. It is what works based on the players he has in the squad. None of this Mbappe on the left nonesense. Two wide players and him down the middle. Even if Mbappe is not old Mbappe, he can still get chances in this setup and potentially finish them. And a double pivot of a distributor (Modric) with a more physical player (Valverde), no more Tchouameni/Valverde double pivots where the ball gets stuck and doesn't move forward. Camavinga/Ceballos can be distributers, but not Valverde/Tchouameni. Tchouameni better accept that he is a CB if he wants to remain a Real Madrid player.
The team is under huge pressure. Both the coaching staff and the players looked totally relieved at the end of the game, at the start everybody was really looking stressed until the scoreline gave the team a bit of control. Carlo looked every bit as if he's coaching for his job. Not a very fun time but even more important to grin out results.
They needed this going into the Atalanta game. They should be more settled now. If they get 3 points in the CL game everyone will develop amnesia regarding the last few games.
I've been commenting on this team for more than 15 years; you're welcome to dig a lot deeper to see if my comments are ridiculous. Nobody is perfect but my analysis of our issues has been good.
Lol don't mind him he's "internalizing" Anyways, I liked that we finished. We're better when Jude takes a leadership role and Tchouameni plays in defense.
I’ve also been commenting here for a substantial amount of time. I truly mean what I said. You can tell me how your comment wasn’t ridiculous if you want but Modric came and provided a terrific assist. Had you been manager and “not started” Modric the game would have likely been different. With all due respect, I don’t think we give Carlo the respect he deserves. I am also happy you have a fan.
It was Jude and Arda arguing during the game. Then when Arda got subbed off he and Jude were all high fives and hugs hyping each other up.
