Full-course rotation against Fulham required.
I understand the desire to play from the back. It works ok, but I get the feeling we will be made to pay eventually by the intricate weaving that goes on in our third of the pitch. Against Madrid there were two or three times we had our adrenaline pumped at full pressure.
The key word is "bravery"...our young team is very brave and full of positive energy. But those scary goalmouth moments may turn out to be serious embarrassments.
I feel a great sense of satisfication playing through the intense press effortlessly like we did, cut Madrid open without fail. It was tremendous!
Mistakes and loss of concentration building out from the back only started to happen when the pitch got heavy due to rain and players were understandably fatigued (subs should have happened sooner).
Would have subbed Azpi off at HT. Abject.
Marcelo not what he used to be, offered no attacking threat and extremely vulnerable defensively.
Reece or Callum would have trounced him (and then some). Missed opportunity.
Kante was immense last night.
