Did Milan just rope a dope us? We’ve had most of the ball yet looked knackered when Milan twice broke on us

Another 3-3 coming up

Fromola · « **Reply #42 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:24 pm »

Good job we didn't need a forward isn't it? Fuck right off.

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #43 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:25 pm »

Fucking hell, they were lucky to have nil and they're ahead, genuinely stunned, but why on earth can't we put chances away?, it's a serious problem.

Jm55 · « **Reply #44 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:25 pm »

That’s what happens when you consistently get 1-0 up and don’t finish the other side off.

We were always going to pay for it eventually.

Oskar · « **Reply #45 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:26 pm »

Shot ourselves in the foot, should have been out of sight and then just stopped playing after forty minutes and let them back into it.

We haven't been clinical enough, wouldn't mind seeing Mane or Minamino come on for Origi now.

We've absolutely shat the bed there. Similar to the weekend, we played really well, it should have been far more than 1-0, somehow wasn't, and this time we got punished.

How the actual fuck has that happened?

Absolute shit show down to overconfidence and some bad luck.

ThoroughlyMediocre · « **Reply #49 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:32 pm »

Bizarre, but we lost focus from maybe 37 minutes on.

No need to panic

has gone odd · « **Reply #50 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:34 pm »

REALLY shit defending at the end there. Other than that we were the better team by a country mile.

RedForeverTT · « **Reply #51 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:34 pm »

Fuck sake. Absolutely no leadership at the back.

Gnurglan · « **Reply #52 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:36 pm »

Can't believe we're behind. Thought we lost a bit of edge after Salah's missed penalty, but we were still the better side. If we play like this in the second half we should be able to turn it around.

Simplexity · « **Reply #53 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:36 pm »

Gomez has been absolutely shocking there, he is absolutely killing our line with his positioning.

Sometimes it just can't be explained

I mean it can... We were wasteful in front of goal (a recurring theme) and Milan weren't.

We were wide open in the middle of the pitch towards the end of that half, we seemed to lose our compactness and concentration.

smicer07 · « **Reply #56 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:40 pm »

Also: Milan are fucking awful.

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #57 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:41 pm »

Just completely ran out of steam towards the end of the half. Started to give the ball away, sloppy.

2 or 3 or years ago we'd be 4 up going in to half time.

Bend It Like Aurelio · « **Reply #58 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:45 pm »

Both goals down the right side, a bit casual with the tracking back. We played well, just have to see what the second half brings. Great game to watch in the beginning.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:46 pm »

How many people will blame Origi for that ?

RedBlakey · « **Reply #60 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:47 pm »

Uuuurrgghhhhh our finishing is dreadful.

Ran ourselves ragged, didn’t actually create anything then got knackered

It would’ve been 3-1 had another minute been available

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #62 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:52 pm »

Complacency running through the team. The last 15 minutes later lied so lazy, Trent with half arsed tackles and complacent on the ball.

Origi with five passes all half!!!

mkferdy · « **Reply #63 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:53 pm »

We should be out of sight. As we tired we weren’t closing down as quick or tracking back and we have been punished. Gomez positioning hasn’t been great. Need to regroup, show some composure and actually take our chances.

LanceLink!!!!! · « **Reply #64 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:53 pm »

Bring Hamann on

... · « **Reply #65 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:59 pm »

Awful defending there for both goals. Just switched off as if we weren't expecting them to ever attack.

Adeemo · « **Reply #66 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:48:59 pm »

I’ve never seen a more wasteful team, the amount of chances we miss is mind boggling. Still awesome though.

andyrol · « **Reply #67 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:00 pm »

Utter shit from the referee. Gave a penalty, thought he'd made a mistake so gave everything to Milan. And let them take free kicks from where they felt like. Inept twat doesn't Cover it.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #68 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:02 pm »

Eventually we were going to play a team who wouldn’t allow us to miss ten/eleven chances in a half.

ApfelStudel · « **Reply #70 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:09 pm »

That was awful and unacceptable defending really - not really sure who is to blame but need to sort it out.

elsewhere · « **Reply #71 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:13 pm »

many here underestimated Milan here imo.

b_joseph · « **Reply #72 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:14 pm »

Excellent half...until it wasnt. Madness team defending in the last 5 minutes.

Gomez was great until he decided to drop and destroy the line twice. Showed a bit of rustiness.

Yeah could have caught them offside both times.

Exactly. Like one of those rubberbanding handicap game where you obviously should have scored 5 but somehow end up 0-1 down at the end.

"Bobber" Thanks :) · « **Reply #75 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:24 pm »

Continuing last season’s profligacy of possession and wastefulness in front of goal

west_london_red · « **Reply #76 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:25 pm »

We’re too complacent.

And that was a piss poor penalty by Mo.

Macphisto80 · « **Reply #77 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:25 pm »

Their second goal stemmed from the midfield, not the defence. Fabinho got left for shit and should be putting a tackle in.

buttersstotch · « **Reply #78 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:26 pm »

Milan grew in to the game, we went to sleep. Our defending was a little lax, namely Gomez playing everyone onside but hard to be too harsh on him with his first full game back in nearly a year.

That second goal was very needless, we lost our heads and should have just have played out half time. Football eyyyyy.

thaddeus · « **Reply #79 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:49:27 pm »

These are so poor but as the half wore on we just got sloppier and sloppier. Missing chances once again but for the first time this season it's costing us (so far).

A big half to come!
