More of that please Arne, will hasten his departure.

Slots attacking tactical setup seems to be to get the ball wide and hope someone produces a moment of magic. We have been seeing it for months, it's hard to see patterns of play or movement, it just feels so basic. I said it earlier, but after that short period of dominance in the 2nd half loads of ours looked absolutely knackered, the intensity has been allowed to leave this team and it's really sad to see.

His distribution is division 1 level

They're fitter and coached better, the speed and the way they move, so much more incisive than us. For all the dominance and energy we showed at the start of the 2nd half, we didn't create many clear cut chances.

Twas mostly on Macca

The Jones for Macca change about 15 mins too late

I didn't see Gomez motioning to the bench or the like.

He's taken off Gomez? He only came on at HT Dom at RB, wtf

Looked like a pen

Great start, but really need to sort out the final ball. Keep crossing and hoping for the best. Is it me or are a few of ours looking absolutely gassed?

Mo really should have done better there, poor touch.

About to come on apparently

Not sure how playing Macca so far up the pitch actually benefits us? He lacks the engine to press effectively and in times like this when he can't pass either, why is he on the pitch?

Frimpong, Macca worse somehow

Almost! Some tackle that.

Poor Hugo

Our setup without the ball is ridiculous, so easy to play through.

It's a crazy decision, even considering the ET aspect. Start bright and fast, try and get an early goal to calm our nerves and get them a little nervous. Anyways COYRs

He definitely said it, his words were along the lines of: As you may or may not know, Alex can only play 45 mins or a bit more. He then went on to mention the possibility of ET influencing the decision.

I think the same, especially as both fullbacks will be expected to push up. Our OOP setup is very weak and often exploited.

I can see why he and Richard Hughes get on so well, they're both desperate to tell everyone just how much smarter than us mere mortals they are.

Erm...why start him then?

Like the first leg, it doesn't feel like it's for footballing reasons. Surely a fully fit Mo should be starting over Isak.

Rumours (twitter) are that Salah is on the bench.

I'm okay with listening to people talk tactics, Rafa for example, could listen to him talking about such things for hours. It's just with Slot there appears to be a huge disconnect between what he says and what we've been seeing for months. He spends a lot of time deflecting blame and lowering expectations when he should be doing the opposite.
