Poor today, too much overplaying and not enough tempo.
Auba should have had at least 3/4 goals but poor finishing.
He also seems to shy away from most 50/50 balls like he could win it if he wanted but just seems to jog to the ball and loses out.
We were quite slow in our passing and too much passing it around the box with no where to go.
Cebellos was quite frustrating today, many times he came into the middle to collect the ball with no one around him, I'd expect him to turn and get it forward but he'd pass backwards to Luiz or Gabriel, what was the point.
Plus point was Odegaard, who played some great through balls which we didn't profit on, although he seemed to tire late in the game.
Hopefully play better in the second leg as we should have easily scored quite a few goals in this game.

Good to see Tierney back in the squad, not amazing to see Elneny, but I guess we're really short of people in that position. Wouldn't mind having Torriera available.
I'm.... Not hopeful. At all.
Still, we've had good results every now and then, so you never know. If all our players turn up and play the game of their lives, maybe we can get something.

Piss poor, chasing shadows for 30 odd minutes at least they started playing a bit and getting some joy down the left.
Here's hoping we don't concede early in the second half.
Also please stop passing to Holding, every time he has an age on the ball then gives it away, I'm sure Mari's got a better range than him.
Pepe needs to come off as he seems so lethargic get ESR or Martinelli on.
If we can keep it to 1 goal maybe we can nick something but the way the games panning out looks like we are in for another tough half.

He's not the first and won't be the last but nice of Kieran Tierney to fake a head injury to get Cancelo booked and play stopped.
Was always going to be the case once referees started to stop play for head injuries (which I agree with) but disappointed that a player I respect and think is very decent has to cheat like that.

He does seem to do that on the odd occasion, never followed him at Celtic so not sure if he used to do it there too or just picked it up in this league.Was always going to be the case once referees started to stop play for head injuries (which I agree with) but disappointed that a player I respect and think is very decent has to cheat like that.
Needs to cut it out or else he'll be placed in the same bracket as Salah, Mane, Kane etc
