CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

[Andresito]

Hope Felix is fit enough to come on. Need one of his super sub performances at LW.

Either Pedri or Christensen off. With Chris we are slow in the buildup but better defensively, especially in the air. Pedri will have to come off sooner or later anyway.

 

[Total-Football]

Cancelo is an ass footballer.. brain dead one dimensional player. Once he sets eyes on the ground it s finished.. he won't pass or look for a one-two or anything.. he just runs like a train on a rail until he looses the ball.
Christensen is good defensively buy all he do as follow his instinct as a defender and pass backwards.

Ok first half .. but only ok because it was a good defensive display and passing was OK.. otherwise still the same old sterile football I. The final third.

 

[serghei]

The big problem is that the team can't sustain any high pressing tactic for more than 10-15 mins. Too unathletic, too many young players and old players... and so on...

 

[Total-Football]

Christensen looks like he's about to shit himself everytime the ball is played to him. With him and idling Pedri, our 4 man midfield looks like 2,5.

He is a center back and not everyone is a mascherano. This teal will need a miracle to win title this season with those problems.

 

[Horatio]

Felix sub would do well here

 

[Joan]

Good half overall though and a great start that the team should've scored from. Their keeper is motm so far.

Closed the space well and defensively sound.

Will see if we reflect and adapt after the pause. Napoli stepped up and we’ve been on the defensive since. Haven’t responded.

Can't disagree more, I think they are doing a very good job with it so far.

 

[serghei]

Gundogan was immense until min 20 but he is old player, by min. 60 he is dead.

 

[soul24rage]

We need Felix on

 

[Neeraj]

The position and system we are playing totally invalidates pedri. He has no impact on thr game.

 

[kattanib]

We played with a 4231 which is the best formation for us .. Frankie as a second pivot with a CDM is game changing .. we shouldn't stick to 433 because we need to play Pedri in CM

Yeah, need to catch our 2nd wind and get back to controlling the game. Either that or do much better on the counters.

Pedri can play in CAM instead of Gundogan.. but then who will play in LAM

 

[mc_lovin]

Frenkie taking a million touches, okay, but Cancelo pisses me off. Could have easily played Gundogan in once.
