Good reminder for some how terrible it's been in Europe, not just the performances but the game management. People trying to put a good spin on today's game after the crazy catalogue of subs yet we've had absolutely comical defeats at Istanbul. Ole messed up the PSG match not taking Fred off before he was obviously going to get sent off which then compounded into the Leipzig away match where he put his infamous 3-5 at the back and we're 2-0 down within the opening minutes exposing AWB. Barcelona who have been knocked out by all sorts of teams but we couldn't lay a glove on them, a nothing display.
After the shambles of last years CL, we hope Ole learns yet we saw tonight there's still much to learn, you shouldn't ending up with Lingard in midfield. Ole's post match interview he said he wanted Jesse on becasue of his legs. We drastically needed a structure of defence, midfield and one outlet for attack once AWB was sent off and Ole did everything but that and sunk the game with his last subs.
Ole has done a lot right since coming in for man management and elevating the squad in some areas, I'm actually supportive on the whole but I'm just so disappointed tonight after that shambles of subs, very similar disappointment and anger to how we threw away the group with a poor setup at Leipzig. We might have a good enough squad to see it through this year.
