so we didnt have a left and right back on the bench at the start of the game. yet played 4 CB's ? 

He's literally payed big bucks to find the balance of the team, and against a stronger opposition (which is what you said), he chose to play more defensively with a defensive backline. Either the opposition is stronger and the manager has to make concessions or not. 🤷‍♂️
We don't know the outcome of doing differently, because that was not used (whatifs don't count).

are we going for an offsides record?

Every announcer pronounces Broja's name differently... it's quite entertaining. 😆

BROY-yah

first syllable emphasis

[robsblubot 3,259]

forwarders aren't moving enough and not making enough runs... looks bad.

Why didn’t we just go for it with gusto and maatsen attacking fullbacks from the start , it’s a cup match at home

So the English announcers are right.

good point... maybe because it was Newcastle and we don't have enough teamwork yet (or options)?

I dont even count on Nkunku.. he is probably already broken down only by training with the rest of the clowns 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,763]

They re giving it their all. Very impressed.

[Magic Lamps 11,463]

broja is so shit. does not attack crosses or make runs in the box unless he is offside.

[robsblubot 3,259]

Watching Guimaraes makes Gallagher not that great eh.

[zinctek 403]

BRING ON NKUNKU !!

[robsblubot 3,259]

lol Badia is having a terrible game. Can't do anything right.

[Costa19 846]

We lack so much penetration.. 

Would probably not even be able to score a hooker in GTA tbh
