They had 10 men behind the Box. Their Team is made to counter attack. United had zero shots on target Today.

Tactics were right. We had to change the approach away from home

So the same shit we did for half a match. Sit and defend.

So why don't we try to play counter attacking players like Malcom?

cant really blame him for anything tonight thus far but shit, Malcom needs to come on for Coutinho early in the 2nd half

i was wrong. WTF were those subs?

Busi on a yellow card, should of been sent off in the first half yet he hooks Arthur.. Bob was actually pretty good but we have Malcom, an actual winger on the damn bench.. fuck this guy

Roberto's sub was a purely defensive one. He didn't think once that we could score another and put the tie to bed, not once. Like ManU was some scary monster that we couldn't contain without Bob.

Edit: the difference in quality between Porto, Lyon and ManU is in name only and we'd be disappointed with this shower of shit if we pulled the same crap against them. For some reason what we played is justified because we won at Old Trafford smh.

Other priorities. Right ones really.

Perfectly managed in the 2nd half. He's learning his trade in the CL.

Malcom can also track back as a right mid. Having a defensive right midfielder doesn't really affect the defense that much.

Good instructions to a motivated player gives the same effect.

I mean we regained possession with his subs but I would have gone for the throat. Malcom or Dembele sub and we would have scored another goal.

True. Doesn't make that much a difference in a 2-legged tie tho. It'll be 3 or 4 at home so no big deal.

Pros- switch to 442 stablised game

Cons- bad subs, should have taken off Busquets not Arthur. Brought on a fast winger for a counter attack (Malcom)

He was so, so lucky that Busquets didn't get sent of. 3 times. Still didn't sub him.

He does have some Zidane-like black magic qualities.

That's the problem playing 442 with Messi and Suarez up front. Our counterattacking game is non existent. Suarez can't hold the ball up most times and both are too slow to exploit open spaces. So we just keep turning the ball over repeatedly.

And people actually defend this guy when he does shit all, is the most predictable coach of all time, and relys completly on Messi.
