This is the xG shot-map
No surprise, that was precisely what watching the game told us
No illusions that this beaten squad with a few players out could be more competitive
Some random thoughts:
1) I won't write anything about Sergi Roberto, but he should consider retiring next summer along Busi and Pique
It's a disgrace to see this guy wearing the Barca shirt anymore
2) Araujo a level above everyone else on defending, even when he had to drag himself too far out right.
Pair this guy with the right people, and our infamous defense will not look less shaky
3) Balde looks really really promising.
I am happy that Alba will not play a few games so we can see him more at LB
4) Demir is not a wing-back, please
5) Coutinho should start the next LL games, he looked determined the few minutes he played
Luuk is only a last 10 min sub to win a header
AS for the rest, it's pretty much this:
We have had many crops of players come and go without success. To me it is a club culture thing, like what Ageuro said about players not showing up early enough before training compared to City, like what Firpo said about video analysis, like what Coutinho (?) or some other players said about our training sessions etc. compared to other club's. We are just too fucking laid back, in my opinion, from probably the sporting director, to the manager and the entire coaching stuff to the players.
We probably need more people like Setien's Sarabia or however you spell his name to kick some butts here.
Culture does not change midnight.
It's a long and painful process.
Once the bad crop of the Amigo culture is completely out of the squad, things will improve
