He’s a work in progress

Not surprising really.

He´s a kid from the youth team breaking in still.

MacAllister will have to be very careful in the 2nd half. This shower are trying to get him sent off.

Yeah he had another chance at a 50/50 and pulled out.

Agree with that. He’s one for the future but not ready to be starting CL games yet

I know Kerkez has made mistakes, but the truth is that he has ZERO support..
Just look down the line and you’ll see 3-4 Atleti players around Rio when we attack…

Our spacing is not right…

So he should pass it infield then where our 3 midfielders are.

Should be space there if they have 3 or 4 players around our LW.

Dom…please smile…

It is Szobs defensive positioning he just isn’t aware to where the opposition are and on that one where Ali produced a great save he just never closed down, just sauntered.

Thats what I was having a go, effort is a none negotiable and he wasn’t putting it in on the defensive side.

Playing well! So much more exciting in comparison to last season. Still a few things to work out, with our defensive shape in transition, getting Wirtz and Isak more involved (Isak doing very well today).

Kerkez needs some pressure on him like Frimpong has with Araujo.

Evening alL I’m in the ARE!

That was not a great first half. Bring on Munoz and change the ref!

Gave Macca yellow early on for exact same

I need to rewatch that.

They are playing at a faster and entertaining pace with Araola in charge which is a good sign.

Macca is prone to the rash lunge so he’d wanna be careful

Was always a bold call to have him as one of our four options given he just turned 18. But he’s going to get an absolute ton of experience at this rate.

It’s also what worries me when people think Ndukwe should be the fourth CB next season. Young ones need the right games to build their experience and CL ties against this lot aren’t that.
