Yea, we shouldn't get too excited a crap Madrid team couldn't convert from 14 shots on our goal (14!!!), with Solari in charge, because poor Vinicius can't shoot to save his life.
That right there is at the base of our problems. This is not Barcelona. We have forgotten our identity, and this is mostly because we have a manager who doesn't care about our style. Every single thing he said about keeping our style has been a proven lie.
And also, this is not about wanting to keep our style because of some stupid fetish, or that Mes Que un Club motto. Far from it. It is because it works best with the players we have. Attacking power and midfield control were always our best weapons to win in Europe. We are not known for parking the bus style.
What we do now is to blame our top players for playing crap. When we should in fact put the blame on the extremely bad management of this team. Only a fool would expect a team who has a midfielder for RB like Roberto to be successful absorbing pressure for 90 mins on Anfield. This sort of crap management has been plaguing this team for a while.
With better tactics, with Arthur in midfield, with a pacy winger up front we wouldn't have lost against an injury ridden Liverpool. But we parked the bus. That's what we did. We parked the bus, missed the 2-3 good chances we had, and were trashed by a Liverpool missing their best forwards.
Got beaten by a team having 2 substitute players like Origi and Shakiri in their attack. Why? Because they were much better managed. That's THE answer.
