Jase 43,479 Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Played the tactically perfect game. And the way we approached and played today was night and day compared to that disaster against City in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,491 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Kudos to TT. Sufficiently strong team with a bit of rotation. Controlled the game till we went 1-0 up. Would have been 2 or 3 but for some near misses. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 As I have said a number of times, if we defend and control play like this in a 3atb, you would have to be an absolute crack head to want to change to a back 4. For me, if you get a proper CF and think of Werner as a Pedro rather than a out and out CF, then we are pretty set, bar a bigger CM and a left footed CB. As for the game, not the best City side but the tactics were spot on. That is exactly how you're meant to deal with City.

Azul 1,615 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 How press resistant have we become? That first half was something else wow Muzchap, DDA and Strike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Great result. Rudiger fantastic all game round. Jorginho and Chilwell as well. Undoubtedly Chilwell’s bedt game for us by a mile also. Hope Silva and Mount aren't too badly done in and can be available for the next game. Mount’s pass for Werner was also outstanding but I am not surprised to see very little appreciation for it as it is Mason Mount. Have to win v Leicester or Southampton. Have to. Also that game should give us huge belief for going up against Real I think. The tactical plan worked a treat and we have the pace to affect the game on the transition.

Strike 7,491 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Also, chance to set last year's horror final right and no quadruple! Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy 342 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Another big thing has changed, and that's our defending against set pieces. When they got a corner in the last minute, I was no longer automatically thinking goal to the opposition. Muzchap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzchap 8,966 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Yeah hats off to TT TACTICAL MASTERCLASS Picks up his first win vs Pep. Team shape looked great. If we can finish 3rd and have a good pre-season with him then the sky's the limit. I have to admit - I was super wrong about him.

Milan 17,958 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Just imagine the belief TT will stress out and the players will feel after beating City? Just perfectly timed ahead of Real and the top 4 fight. Muzchap and Vesper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 If we believe the bookies prices for the outright win in the champions league, the European cup should be on its way to the bridge now. As for City was not pumped up for today, we had more reasons than they have to concentrate more on our other efforts (4th place, ch. league).
