The amount of chances we've f@cked up over these 2 games is criminal FFS!!!!
We should be leading this group if our finishing had been halfway decent in these 2 games

FT
Once again, another game where we create the best chances in the game and somehow we do not score from any of them
The first half was simply wasted. Leao and Theo too casual. Pobega and Calabria both terrible.
And the 2nd half we wasted too much time to make the changes and for the players who came on to start to make an impact
We should be topping this group based on play and chances created in both games. But somehow we're sitting 3rd. Now we have to do the business against PSG who have also put themselves into a bad spot...
Thankfully we're home next. But I'm really worrying about how we navigate this now. That opening match draw is going to weigh heavily I feel
Not signing a striker to replace Giroud is the difference here. I'm sad to say this but Oli is done. He's been absolutely terrible since coming back from the NT break.

The bad finishing in this competition is such a head-scratcher for me. We have scored in every league game this season. All of which were multiple goal games aside from Inter. It's not like the issue is that we're not creating opportunities. Because if that we the case I would say we are not a CL level side. But we have been the better side in both games now and created by far the better opportunities and somehow we sit on on goals scored
At least Tomori is beasting now so our defence is on lock, that's something to be happy about at least

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 4 2023, 10:01 PM)  Can somebody please explain to me why the f*ck we spent 20+8 million on a worse version of Messias? Chukwueze, and I'm not being funny here, the guy is utter sh*t. I have never seen anybody please so badly on that right flank. Hell, even Castillejo was better. OMFG what have we done.
As for the game, what's there to say? We wasted a shitton of chances, even though Borussia played better than us IMHO. Especially that double chance of Chukufucker and Reijnders in the end, unbelievable how we didn't score.
Adli came on like a big boss. In his first 5 minutes he did more than Pobega in 60+ minutes.
On a paper it's good result but we should have buried those chances. Chukweze needs a full game where he actually gets put into space like what Adli did on 2 occasions today and both times he was dangerous. It's pointless to have him playing facing away from the goal, and every time he's come on, it's been late and we're in situations where we're mostly managing the game. His best performance came when he started against Newcastle. He should have scored his chance today but saying he's a worse version than Messias is the worst take I've heard in a while. Reijnders needs to put his shooting boots on man! He's had so many good opportunities throughout the season so far and he keeps putting in soft shots or putting them wide. I'm confident once he gets his first, he'll relax, same with Chuk. Trying to force it too much right now. Honestly, I don't think BVB were any good. We let them play because the plan was obviously to counter them. It's just that each time we had an opening we f@cked it up either by bad passing (Pobega), bad over-dribbling (Leao/Theo) or bad finishing (Giroud, Chuk, Reijnders)

One final thought. Calabria cannot start these matches. He's slow, mistake prone and gets beaten by any half decent winger. When Kalulu is fit, he should be starting at RB. Especially in the CL. I'm have cold sweats just thinking about him coming up against Mbappe. Do we know when Kalulu will be fit again? Another mystery injury that goes on and on. PSG getting trashed 4-1 by that team (IMG: style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) We better show up against them. They've been bad this season. We have to at least try to win both matches.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 4 2023, 10:22 PM)  Oh come on FFS! Can't you see how f*cking clumsy he is on the ball. The number of balls he lost after he came on was ridiculous. He practically kept gifting chances to Dortmund.
He played from the start against Newcastle and he was mediocre. Saying that was his best game is a joke.
There must be a reason why nobody wanted this f*cker with his contract expiring in a year. So was Leao for 3/4 of the game. He's obviously trying too hard. I am not passing judgement yet. We have not even seen him get a full 90 yet! You cannot say he's sh!t based on just that! QUOTE (X-Offender @ Oct 4 2023, 10:23 PM)  Florenzi should be a starter. He's not great, but he's way better than Calabria.
Kalulu I cannot see as RB. He's too flat footed. It'd be like playing Tomori as RB. At least he's quick and capable of defending. Calabria is regressing at this point and is out muscled by the majority of players he comes up against. Kalulu has experience playing at RB at least. Yes, I agree that he's not good on the attacking side. But at least I'd be more assured You know we cannot rely on Florenzi. He's injury prone and the moment we start using him regularly he'll pull a muscle which will take him out for months

You cannot say he's sh!t based on just that! But Leao has those moments that make the difference and win us games. This guy, he's been absolutely appalling. I wasn't expecting him to shine, because even in those YouTube highlights he never impressed me, but to be this bad? He's not out of shape, he's had plenty of minutes to show at least some decent stuff, but nothing. Simply atrocious. I hope he proves me wrong, but I am not convinced in the slightest. I can already see him be the next Castillejo or Messias.
