Same old story I guess- decent ish but no final pass.

You know what this performance isn't half bad. Nothing to be embarrassed about

403 passes in the first half with 88% accuracy....would have been nice if the ones that would count for something got there.

Happy to try it 👍

I like Mount but we need a pass master not a worker at the moment

Havertz has to come on for Mount, I fear he might get a second yellow. His decisionmaking has also not been the best.

Mount has been good and I trust him to keep his cool. Giroud has been poor with the hold up play. Would prefer one of Ziyech/Puli or Havertz to come on for him. Too much attacking quality on bench, who we should be capitalizing on.

I think mount has been very lively with CHO. 

The only issue is another yellow

There's no reason for Mount to stay on. Tuchel needs to keep the same energy with every single player. A lot of players have been brought off at HT this season.

I don't think Giroud was doing too bad. He literally had 3 players around him at all times.

Do you think we would still get up the pitch?

I think it will give the team more fluidity tbh. Atletico are used to dealing with players like Giroud.

His decisionmaking has been aweful though? There has been so many chances where he could've played a through ball to Werner and that pass inside the box should've been a shot. That was a clear goalscoring chance. This is something I've seen a lot from him this season.

No matter if we lose or not. I rather have our playing style than the destructive type of shit Atletico are playing.

[Pizy 18,855]

Not to jinx it or speak too soon, but I expected much better from Atleti. Top of La Liga and all. 
 

We were the much better side and their only real dangers came from our silly giveaways.

Slightly more quality with the final ball and we would’ve tested them much more.

When all our attacks are basically going through the right, of course they look lively but the end product from both was disappointing. It's definitely opposite to what I was being told about Mount.

[Supermonkey 38]

False 9 might work here. Giroud is being suffocated by the 12 cbs they play

But he is making things happen and is looking lively. I would no way take him off under any circumstances right now.
