Apparently Virgil is 2nd in the motm poll.
Love him and all, but he was hugely to blame on their goal.

Woodwork hit three times, Vidal clearing off the line from Diaz, but the best opportunity for me was that play where Andy broke on the left, and we had three players in the box, with Mo in the best place for a tap in. Andy just had to deliver a simple ball into space, but failed to avoid the only defender sliding in.
The butthurt on the Caf pretty much makes it a winning night, imo.

Yeah he was pretty lackadaisical about getting a block in but I can understand that from that distance and angle. Matip didnāt cover himself in glory with that pass though.

We made lots of unnecessary passes. Iād say the best midfielder on the night was Jones for a change. Even Thiagoās passes were not zipped in enough at times, giving inter players a chance to intercept. We tried to move through our passing phases either too early or too late and some of the passing was a bit too cavalier.

I think I agree with the clowns. He should of had a straight red against Thiago.

VVD defends like heās playing 4D chess. We mere mortals cannot fathom what he does at times.
He had Martinez in his pocket before the goal, and the Inter lad was mentally defeated before he even touched the ball up to that point.
My guess is that VVD lazily allowed Martinez to shoot, thinking that it would end up in the stands, with Martinez going even further into his shell, thus would contribute nothing more in the rest of the game, even if presented with a one on one situation.
But even the Gods can get it wrong.

I think there is a bit of game theory with situations like that and I think itās intentional. I think our defenders will allow those kind of shots because if the player gets their shot on target, we back our keeper to save it.
When it doesnāt work it looks awful, but it doesnāt work very often.

I was referring to the co-commentator. I didnāt watch the pundits in the studio because of Ferdinand.
Not sure who the other one was in the studioā¦she was quite constuctive in her analysisā¦she might have been commentatingā¦
Pretty much nails it, I thought we were caught between wanting to play our normal game and āmanaging itāā¦something weāre not very good at. Roma, Grazer, Barca (2006), CSKAā¦now Inter, all home losses after winning the away leg.
We didnāt look after the ball well at all tonight, constantly giving it away and getting harried into poor passes. The goal was a joke from our point of view. Henderson again showing how important he is to this team by taking back control in the middle. Thought Jones and Fabinho were very good, Thiago not so much.
Senor Lahoz is a dickhead, tried all night to make a game of it.
Anyway, getting through is the main thing so itās job done.

I totally lost it with Robbo over that and my wife told me off for swearing.
Lucy Wardā¦
Didnāt she play for our womenās team?
If she was the co-comentator, then yeah, she talks a lot of sense, and doesnāt just state the obvious, that a lot of co-commentators spout.
She did
