Magic Lamps

not even barca yesterday were as lucky as rankfurt today

paciencia is coming on, so they are having 2 strikers on

clear dive from abraham lol

giroud you sucker

we are tiring them down tho

lol Trapp playing the clock down. you know the away goals rule right?

just the final fucking ball still too inaccurate

that should have been a pen

need to make it 2-1 now and take the game to bed

they have two of their best players out tho and they completely botched their gameplan

shit they counter attacks are still dangerous

they are so struggling, the fans are sensing it usually they are not that hostile, more so when tehy feel their team is being bullied

corners been shit so far

brilliant save

hasebe yellow long overdue

willian anywhere else

right he is so shit today. rather have ampadu on

but at least we already scored

we are outplaying them badly tho just have to stop making stupid errors.

brilliant counter attack until the finish

RLC must score that

I think it is a tactical concept. he wants to kill off the game with locking down the flanks, pinning their wing backs back but simultenously protecting our flanks doubly. And he thinks we need giroud because of their physicality.

exactly but that is sarris fault. we have played brilliant counter attacks with the same players under conte. counter attacks have to be practiced but when you are technically limited you are easier off than i na posession based system

i think a proper pragmatic, counter attacking manager with a good eye for youth development like Simeone or Allegri could still comfortably make 4th place next season. we have plenty of counter attacking players like Kante, Pedro, CHO, RLC, Barkley and also some youths coming through like Abraham and James. we need someone to fix that defence and we will be ok. Recall Zouma, Abraham, James we can build a technically limited but fierce side with the right coach.

Notice tho how much respect they are giving us. They are playing with 5 defenders and 3 defensive midfielders. that is vintage Mourinho/Conte negativity or even worse than that. Really poor that we even conceded vs such a negative side in the first place but we have not had any trouble unlocking them. Th finish for their goal was absolutely world class tho, no one scores with a reserve header from 13 yards. any where else and it is no goal sublime accuracy. anyway we are in a good position now and can pick them apart if we keep our composure, their defence is not having their best day, only jovic is
