Post-match views from the forum:
RandomHero84: “It’s a good win really. Real Madrid couldn’t beat them. We did, and we did so largely pretty convincingly.
I don’t love these zonal marking situations that end up with towering center backs being tracked by little Brazilians on set pieces, but we did well.
They didn’t create much. I don’t absolutely love watching us when we aren’t flowing, but we were not without our good moments.
I can say categorically though, Raya scares me more than Ramsdale.
Tomiyasu is top notch defensively but looks scared and limited in offensive build-up. It wouldn’t be a problem, but he’s clearly being asked to do plenty.
Jesus usually frustrates me quite a bit, but very decisive here. His contributions to the goals were a lot of fun. Loved how we started the second half, hate how we finished it.
Defending deep seems to be our plan. I dislike it. I’d love to see controlled possession to see it out. We are pretty good at putting the wall up, but it seems needlessly stressful, and it’s not very nice to watch is it.
Ødegaard is just bang out of form isn’t he.”
Blankety Blank: “Good away win at a tough place.
Thought we were very comfortable & played well until they scored in fact could’ve been 3-0 up.
They was always gonna put pressure on us towards the end but had few clear cut chances.
Top performances from Gabby J, Rice & Tomi. Nelli took his goal very well & without a good safe could’ve had 2.”
