Trippier has been atrocious, out of position and then his backing off, fucking shocking

I know they had extra days rest but arguably had a tougher game, we were done by half time. If we can up it second half we win this

We have pressed in parts and got attacking chances, just need to turn it on and up intensity at beginning of next half

The intensity is well and truly back, just brutal. Jacob Murphy man from where he was being loaned out to some of the displays now. Might be limited but his assists and pace are unreal

About as easy as it gets and probably keeping our energy. Big few weeks coming up.

Him, Barnes and Livramento stand outs today for me. Tonali was fucking everywhere

Such a drop down from Isaks movement and pace now but did still cover the ground just too slow

Burns played well, good defending and few cutting passes plus that header. The so called superstars look shit

Feel he still has a part to play even next season as a sub, he really steps up in big games even if can't play every game. If we improve in other areas in summer and control games on ball more he's a good option.

What about the pull on the shirt from Diaz, unbelievable the decisions these fuckers get

While I doubt anyone wants him to go I think it's fair to question some of what we are seeing, it's desperate stuff at times. I know he then goes on unreal runs but just looks shit right now. I do think he needs to address our style as we don't really press often enough, invisible when other team has ball and they walk by us, lots of silly mistakes, defend too deep in our box, let teams run onto us, no dynamic movement behind their midfield and either slow as fuck and side to side or misplaced passes too often. Puts us under huge pressure.

Agree but his tactics and approach have gone backwards mind. That resembled the tripe Bruce served up with much better players in areas

Think as much as defence, that midfield is offering nothing right now

Wtf were they doing at the end there, just get it forward FFS. Shockingly shit and a pattern at home lately. Boring, no intensity, no fucking clue. 0 out of 10 for the lot of them

What a surprise

They have bored the crowd to death, just mistake after mistake and no clue how to use the ball. Be amazed if we scored

None of it looks right, been masked with that fantastic run this season. We haven't looked like playing the football we did with pressing, attacking and opening teams up. There was a time when we scored we immediately pressed to get a 2nd or in 2nd halves rushed teams, looks stale and boring now

You would think we would be trying to pepper the box at that time. Happens when we are losing as well. When we need to slow it down during game we fire it forward and when we need to get something slow and patient, so annoying.

Urgh 30 more minutes of this shit.

Isak injured as well, fucked for any hope we had in final

Tbf to Tonali noone was moving in front or dropping for the ball, just statues being marked

Fucking trash this, put ourselves into danger. Mentality just doesn't seem to be there and no idea what our plan is

We haven't been decent out of position, our regaining the ball in that midfield has been rank. No pressure and aggression, too much passive play

We need to find other ways to play against teams like this and move them out of shape rather than just lose it all the time and hope for a counter

We just don't seem to have any real energy, they can just play through us and we never try to just calm the game down, keep the ball for a bit. Treating it like a fucking hot potato just brings pressure on us time and time again. We are also fucking pathetic with our passing either too slow or no accuracy.
