Spence, Bissouma, and Kulusevski need to come into the starting 11 at the weekend IMO.

It will never happen though.

Watching the first 20mins of Bayern and Barcelona, we really don’t belong in this competition comparatively right now. The energy levels and technical ability compared to what we’re showing right now is embarrassing. We’ve got some really good attackers and I’d say one quality defender but we’re so far off these two. We barely string a move together, these sides are doing it every couple of minutes.

Our performances away from home in Europe have been dreadful for a long time. Thought Kane was especially poor tonight - lots of underhit passes and felt like he lost the ball more times than he found a teammate. Hopefully it gives them all a kick up the arse as the run of fixtures ahead are daunting to say the least.

Ditched it at 70 minutes.

I’ve watched far too many of these gutless, boring and monotonous European away performances over the last 5+ years to even get bothered about it now.

Let’s see what gets served up at the weekend!
So you didn’t watch the last 20 mins but you then jumped on the internet to post about said game on an anonymous Internet forum? ???

Remember that Inter fan who told us Conte will frustrate you at times.

People should remember that.

It tends to run a little slowly but when it kicks in really goes and is like a machine.

I believe @fishhhandaricecake
are right and he's just managing things at the minute.
I'm not sure what this even means. Just managing things? What things?

No.
Refused to make changes, and we were done. They made changes and had fresh legs

One of which was Paulinho who at 6'2 scored their first with a more or less unchallenged flick from a corner following a fantastic save by Lloris in the 90th minute which under normal circumstances would have given us a point.
I think there were 5/6 players in our defence who were not quite expecting the corner to be be delivered.

Don't worry. We'll drop out of Champions league in the group stage and out of Europe but then we'll pull it back by season's end and qualify for errm the Champions league. Everyone will be happy :whistle:

This is it in a nut shell for me. We are so slow in our build up its a joke. If Lloris gets the ball we wait until the opposition have 11 men behind the ball and the try to play through the whole lot of them.

I get your point, but you would expect they will have 11 men behind the ball if your keeper hast it....

It's from CM when we pass it back and forth and then back to the fullbacks (who sit too deep) or cb's.

Gives the other team all the time they need to get back

Bentancur and hojberg were knackered and on bookings

It's as though conte thinks we just have winks on the bench

What's the worst that could have happened had he brought bissouma and Skipp on for both of them?

I was being quite general but I guess I mean not starting fast and looking to kill teams.

He's being relatively pragmatic and happy for us to reserve energy at times.

As the season goes on he'll want more and certain players won't be getting numerous chances.

I do agree Bissouma needs to see more minutes but can fully appreciate at 0-0 and the biggest issue being our lack of efficiency in attack, it wasn't the sub to make.

If Bissouma is still not being trusted in January I'll start to worry.

Tbh the performance was honestly on par with the Marseille one, if anything it was a bit better. But it’s really tough when the front players struggle with touch and passing as they did in both games. The play between the lines isn’t consistently slick enough currently. It’s to be expected from Son who has never been good in this area, but Kane was incredibly sloppy in those areas where he is usually really good. Richy wasn’t much better. It is why I do think Kulusevski should really be playing more.

Kulusevski needs to be playing. It’s a travesty he isn’t starting games. We need brains in the team
