Need to see some more replays but my first impression is that it was a really good opportunity to score that he threw away in trying to look for a pen.
Trossard and Jesus deserve to start in the Allianz tbf.
Gabriel just picking the ball up in live play.
Fucking hell.
Should've been a clear pel for Bayern.
I hope I’m wrong but I think it is a disaster
A tactical shit show at the very least. Genuinely not looking forward to the next few games as I fear this is the ground tremor prior to an earthquake. Villa could punish us just as easily as Bayern did and anything but a win in that game and that’s arguably season over when you consider momentum
A disaster in terms of our chances of reaching the semi final but I’m not sure it will have a knock on effect in the league. I think we’ve got everyone’s number and I think we’re still likely to win games not being at our best, one would hope.
European football is just a different kettle of fish because no amount of scouting is going to truly have you prepped for teams you’ve rarely or never faced. It’s more a case of trying to learn on the job while domestically you’re so familiar with every opponent.
I've just seen that :lol: :doh:
I guess the argument is Raya was passing it to him so he could take the goal kick.
A pretty weak defence, but an outfield player can take it so I guess we could make that argument given that Gabriel was in the sort of position a GK is taken from and Raya was more central.
EDIT: And actually, a GK needs to leave the penalty area, so I'm warming to the idea that this argument makes sense.
Actually, I've just seen another video on it. The ref blew his whistle and apparently the ref just regarded it as a schoolboy error and just let us get on with it.
We got away with that.
We got away with it because the referee was a moron.
Raya and Gabriel need people to come in and make sure they are capable of washing and dressing themselves. I know it’s not cricket to use the term mentally retarded anymore, so better to say developmentally disabled
