Pre Match - Bring On Yer Internazionale (a) - Weds 20:00

Interesting tactic by Inter. Starting low, in order to make us push up due to our normal pressing game. We leave gaps in midfield and they exploit it with quick attacks.
 
Do we really want to put a player who hasn't really bedded in, into a game that we are struggling to find rhythm?

We are allowed to have a midfield when ON the ball. Inter are doing a very good job of eliminating our outlet balls and we haven't adapted in response. We have a team that would be great if we had a lot more of the ball and were playing football, but Inter are preventing that.

1) it's been a simultaneously great & shit half of football ... We've done so much right but so so wasteful - our touch in the final third is terrible.
2) I'd get Elliot off - no issue with starting him, but he's not at the races today.
3) I'd take Mane off - though it will piss him off (and he's been better than Salah) to go with Diaz, who's a better passer - and right now, it's the final 3rd passing that is really hurting us.

I'd give Elliott and Mane the next 15. Then hook both of them for Keita and Diaz.

Yeah, definitely their tactic.

I guess - we will get quite a few more chances, and we just need 1-2 cooler heads with the final pass and we'll be in more dangerous positions.
0-0 isn't a bad result but it feels like we could have put this tie to bed by half if we were more 'on'.
 
Loved God as a player, but my goodness Ferdinand, Owen and Fowler are a shit show of a bunch of pundits on BT sport.

Elliott grew into the game from about 30 minutes. Mané hasn’t improved his passing. Thiago not getting on the ball high enough
