Make the rain sef calm down

In any case, at least one positive is how we've been able to restrict them. Asides the goal and earlier shot from Benzema, they haven't had any real opportunituies.

And I was impressed with how we played through their press in the first 30mins especially.

Rudiger!!
Yeah I forgot to mention him, sublime pass for the goal.

But I was just impressed with Silva's ability to break lines with his forward passing.

And it's not just Werner's finishing.

Our passing in the final third has literally been zero. So many transitions squandered.

They can't even release Werner properly again

God knows how many transition chances we've wasted.

Don't start complaining,you cant write off experience in UCL so whatever the coach had in mind by starting azpi ahead of those youngster shouldn't cause any unnecessary panicking abeg.
I hope Azpi delivers anyways. But I just don't understand why he would play Azpi there when we have better rested and better suited players, in such a huge game. I get the experience part, and I know experience does count for a lot, but is it enough to make such a decision?

Anyways, no more complaints. Putting my trust in Azpi and Tuchel.

Is Seniorman his nickname? I see many people calling him that
Yeah. I think it originated from an interview he had with Ndidi, and he said something about Messi calling him...then he said something like "You know say I be Senior man.. " grin

When Hazard is at his best, he can only be stopped with the strength of numbers which TT tactics afford us.

Normally, James is no match for him.
Well Hazard is certainly far from his best so I believe James can cope well enough.

Havertz10:
All these havertz ridicule, keeping the receipts, all these two faced people with no integrity, they will mock and hype the same player no shame, if havertz was 27, this banter for make sense, 21 and una dey act like say him career done finish

Tueh
Replace Havertz with Mount, go in front of a mirror and repeat those words.

goal against Atletico showed ziyech's pace cheesy

U sure say you watch that game at all
I said it showed that he has decent enough pace to do damage on the counter.

Ziyech is not very fast. But he is not slow either.

So Ziyech is the extra body you are looking to. The guy is an average presser. He would be easily bypassed. To make things worse his average pace means he is not good enough to lead counters.
Hmmm...does Ziyech really have average pace?

He's certainly not as fast as Werner or Pulisic, but I actually think he's got decent pace. Decent enough to do damage on the counter. Goals against City and Atletico come to mind. What was most impressive about those goals was how he managed not to get completely outpaced by Werner.

Havertz is the combination of all of these other strikers.

I will prefer Werner to start and unsettle Madrid's CBs with his speed and hope he mistakenly scores or finish with assists.

Don't forget Kante's impact would be minimal because of fasting. He has not been playing to his full strength since Ramadan started.
Same with Ziyech & Rudiger. Jorginho & mount has started over 6 games in succession and that's my worry about the match.
Kovacic inclusion would have help reduce the burden on our midfield, couple with the fact that he has played amongst them and also taken a deserve rest from the injury.
I am worried.
Exactly my fear. Our midfield seems weakened, meanwhile the same area is Madrid's greatest strength, plus they will be boosted by the return of Kroos - albeit they will be missing Valverde.

Kovacic's injury is a huge blow. Like you rightly pointed out, the fitness of Kante, Jorginho and Mount would be a concern cos one is fasting, while the other two have been playing games consecutively with little rest. Jorgo is of greater concern to me - Mount is renowned for his stamina, but I don't know if we can say same for Jorgo.

Gilmour would've come in handy, but it's clear Tuchel doesn't trust him yet.

Another option would've been to move Chris to the midfield, since he can also play there. But these tweaks aren't ideal for a game if this magnitude.

This all depends on the fitness of Jorgo and Kante. I just hope they would be in good enough condition for tomorrow.

Bluemann you watching the game? Chelsea Women just equalized through leupolz. PSG and Barcelona played a 1-1 draw in the other match.
Omo I didn't watch the game oh...got to know that we lost 2-1.

From the post match analysis I got, it seems the Bayern coach was able to outsmart Emma Hayes, which is a pretty huge feat. Bayern had been conceding goals prior to that game - 7 in their last 3 - but the guy switched to a back five and changed his approach. Our attack was unusually blunt.

The good news is, we got an away goal. Hopefully we can overturn the deficit at home.
