I don't think they need huge tactical analysis, because most teams sit back against them and Barca, but when they do something different the players must know how to react. Or if the plan A doesn't work, they need to know what to do and execute it well. You don't win anything with "put your best players on and just let them play" -tactics. Alonso might have tried to do too much too quickly. Playing 3 at the back is not something out of this world. Teams have been winning UCL or EPL playing 3 at the back for ages. If the players don't want to play that way, it still is manager's decision. You either do your best or leave. If the manager is not a total moron (Amorim) he will know this or that doesn't work. Of course you "win it all" if you are at Real. You won't stay there for long if you don't win. Any player who acts like Vini should be sacked.

I mean, this is something that is done everywhere. They don't beat Osasuna or Espanyol by just turning up. Vini, Mbappe and Bellingham are hugely entitled pricks. I mean, Vini doesn't win Ballon d'or and whole team boycott because of that? How petty is that?

I read the Eddie comment when he said "we need to know the extent of injury" etc when asked about transfer window meaning we are going to be active. These injuries are not short term, he must know that. edit. Scalvini "links" seem total bs.

27-28 year old are peak value now. We have to be clever because of PSR. 23-24 year olds that can still improve are cheaper.

They are both underdog managers. When we move on from Howe, we need a different kind of coach.

Yea, when he shoots from far I always hope that he bends it or something, cause even long passes seems difficult for him. But doesn't really need that in his play, but just compare it to Tonali for example.

yea, just seems like he doesn't have the will to drive or try to score. Most likely a confidence issue though, his start has been difficult. edit. was better today though, but I expected him to pop in with few goals.

His technique is so weird. Really looks like so much work to hit the ball hard. But my boy can he pass.

We have been week on duels and second balls have been constantly won by Bournemouth players. So easy for them to just play long and then we give it away straightaway.

Ok, so Botman and Ramsdale to blame for that Botman has been awful

Great goal, looked like offside first, but no VAR here? They are so tired that it was a matter of time. Good subs again by Howe.

How fucking easy it is to counter attack against us? Gordon is giving ball away instantly, Botman is SOOOOOO slow and no pressing anymore.

Bournemouth players are dead on their feet. We should be able to score one goal here..

So, Thiaw now fucked?

He has been whole season.

Trippier, Botman and whole midfield if you ask me

There are quite many there to blame before Ramsdale tbh.

how fucking easy is that. One long ball and Trippier is done.

Totally deserved. Where is our midfield? Every long ball we win the first one, Ramsay and Tonali are nowhere to be seen! We need subs.

Tino holding his hamstring. Of course. We really need to buy a defender.

Well, that is classic Ramsdale there

Woltemade and Barnes are exactly the type of duo that can work together well. Barnes likes combinations and Woltemade is made for those flicks and small passes. Nice to see it works.

Willock is totally useless. He doesn't keep the ball, he isn't a threat ,he doesn't win the ball back. We really have to get rid of him.

Poor from Willock. Just need to place that, no need to blast

Really? A real sauna?
