Telles the actual wingback coming on for the makeshift wingback in Luke Shaw.

Concussion sub, so Donny or Jesse will get their usual 9 minutes.

Yeah Shaw should have been subbed. We really out there letting players continue with a concussion smh. Still remember how we let Pavard play smh.

United were leaving the gaps in the 4231. I cannot remember the game I'll have to look If I mentioned it on here but it was really bad this was a couple weeks before Liverpool. Might of been the Villarreal game. You had the 2 widemen and the 2 CM's basically stretched across the whole pitch when they defended.
I see. So the issue is coming from the wingers then ? How come neither Sancho, Rashford or Greenwood do not know the basics of pressing/defending as wingers ?

I dont know what's up with Cavani but he can play on the wings and he will definitely press and hustle. I'd start him on the left :ehh:

The issue is Ole and coaching staff not drilling them properly.

Sancho is the only one who knows how to actually press. His pressures before he got dropped was one of the best in the league considering the difficulties he's had so far. Problem is Ole has allowed the team to play too much Heroball.

I'm still super grateful that the Champions League final didn't play out this way.

You know, an early Man City goal and them just passing it around, taking the piss for the rest of the game. Imagine that in front of a global audience? :mjcry:

Tuchel forever a legend :bow:

I'm still pissed at the second half of the final. Because the first half was electric.
