Hans-Dieter Flick

Lewa could have made our pressing so much worse, Inter could have played through us so many times without the Ferran-Rapha-Lamine pressing

Besides, Ferran was not bad. Scored his big chance, could have scored another but not a big chance

Absolutely true. Forget about this foul.

Some days ago there was a tweet that we had conceded many corners lately, last vs RM. Problem gets addressed but still we concede 2 corners today. Not great at all.

People underestimate Lewy's corner defense. We miss him here too.

 

[DonAK]

I'm 100% confident the team will be up for the challenge and find a way through next week.
This is not the type of side that crumbles under pressure or get scared in away games.

Tek
Araujo - Cubarsi - Inigo - Balde
Frenkie - Pedri
Olmo
Lamine - Lewy/Ferran - Raphinha

His insistence on starting with Martin despite 3 consecutive horror-shows....

Why do ALL managers have the Achilles Heel of being stubborn??

Martin is shit, but he clearly doesn't rate Fort, who is also limited physically.

Outside of that, what is our options? Change the whole system?
Inigo looked equally terrible as a LB, only more willing to make crosses that went straight to Inter defense.
He is handed a shitty situation in LB and living with it, there is no magic solution.

Are Balde and the tractor gonna play? Not so sure.

Balde yes.

Lewandowski is apparently 50/50.

 

[soul24rage]

Vamos mister.

Lead us to enternal glory.

Vamos to the end. tie is 50-50 atm. Fecked it up ourselves... but nothing is done. Thank god for that marginal offside. If PSG could qualify on Anfield, this team can rest vs Valladolid and seal the place in the final in Italy.

Gonna be interesting if score the 1st goal and Inter has to attack positionaly, they are shit in that situation.

Game looked similar to AM game at home in Copa. Inter and AM are 2 very very similar sides.

 

[Barcaman]

Set-piece defending should be reviewed for the 2nd leg

1st goal is a slip, and the other 2 are set-piece defending fuck-ups
Other than that, Inter has one two chances in transition.

We could have easily won this 3-1, without the fuckups

Nothing you can do about Inigo brainfart.
One thing I don't understand is why Raphinha is standing in goal line for corners. He is decent in air and should be challenging opposition.

Not sure if Christensen may be a good addition for the team as he is strong enough to try to balance a litttle bit our team against so strong and tall Inter players.

He is good. Cool as a cucumber and already a CL champion. If fit, he can be counted on.

 

[Birdy]

Indeed. You win some, lose some.

Don’t think Ferran was bad, but Lewa’s presence in both boxes would’ve been real useful here. Almost all crosses lost due to no one there.

We’ll see next week.

He would have been useful only the last 15-20 minutes or so, when tiredness kicked in for both teams.
That's when his lack of legs can be hidden, and his pros like presence in the box matters - especially in games where we put crosses in the box at the end against parked buses. Like this one

Moving forward, next season, that should be his only role

 

[freetocan]

I would like to see them trying to shoot more often when we are close to their box. Very few if not at all they try to. With their defence with 5 players plus another 3 in front of them, is hard to penetrate. It is pity that we do not have good shooting guys from semi distance except maybe Raphinia.

 

[CatalinR10]

Crazy we got back into the game after 0-2 and 2-3.

Flickmeister was let down by the defense.

He deserved the win even with all the mistakes.

PAIN but HOPE for next week
