    Very similar to the Juve away game. All possession with no end product. Our set pieces are absolutely terrible. Do they actually work on these in training!?

    Horrendous result against 10 men

    Ponderous and terrible with the final ball all night when we should of been peppering balls into the box and shooting on sight instead. Woeful stuff. Fonseca needs to learn how to best play certain games or we're going nowhere.

    This is what you get when you have players like Jesus and Perez in the team. Along with Pelleshit as Capitano....

    The thing with him is if this scenario was to play out the same as next year, my money would be on him not changing anything. These types of manager have so much pride in their way of playing its like its against their principles to play "ugly". You need a mixed style to play to deal with these situations. Look how quickly we had the SES chance after going direct but its seen as a last ditch tactic to use. 45 mins of that and how many chances or goals would they have scored. Theres no way they would have continued to clear their lines as they got more and more tired. This ones on the manager.

    Dzeko was brought on and we played direct for 30 minutes (also a man up the entire time). We created no good chances until the almost pen at the end.

    Roma was still building up play to the wings and taking their time to get the ball in which was playing into Benevento's hands as they were given the time to get set each time. I am talking about straight up route one which did not happen until the end. This was the game for it.
