PSG just lost 2-0 to Rennes, and won just one of the ten games they went a man down last season. City went from 2-0 to 2-3 against Brighton last season after going down to ten men. Chelsea lost 5-2 to WBA last season. At home. With one man down for an hour. Liverpool for some reason got no red cards last season. The odd one out is Bayern, but even they struggle when they get down to ten.Good post. For me the breaking point was Young Boys. To completely capitulate against such an opponent because you go down to 10 men was appalling. Can you imagine Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Bayern, PSG etc. doing that? We have a hugely superior squad, we should have been fine down to 10 men, but we barely had a kick. That was all about the the system, the mentality instilled and the coaching.
There are fair arguments against Ole, but not this one. Playing 10 to 11 is hard for everyone, even the most stacked teams.
