I read a lot against Tuchel but I’m actually pleasantly surprised with him. He became a liability in his late months for PSG so I was concerned.
But he managed to convince Sané to play this left side playmaker role which is fantastic with Kane upfront and Davies pushing the left lane.
Coman on the right is a great asset as he makes so many runs to track back.
I’m a bit disappointed with Musiala but he is still a kid, I guess he played instead of Muller because we lack intensity in midfield. Muller is 34 and coming back from an injury so I’m not that surprised he is not risked.First half reminded me of playing vs city last season. If I speak I am in big trouble
Personally I am OK with this performance given that it was away and the stadium was so annoying. The Garatasaray side was quite impressive offensively the first half pressing high. They got lucky and unlucky moments. But their defense was just atrocious and became too vulnerably when players used up their energy.
But Tuchel: what is wrong with you and Muller?
Müller not subbed for his ucl wins count sucks…
Dunno but seems like tuchel doesn’t rate him, I feel he would have easily found a few good deep passes today
He could’ve started in my opinion. They work real good with Musiala.
Ehh, save him for the league until KO rounds really. Group stage is in the bag and Müller can’t be playing 40+ games a season anymore
As much as Gala pressed and as well as they played, they really didn’t have a sniff in the second half.
Love the way Laimer and Ulrich played. The two save’s Ulrich had early were amazing.
The team showed heart and worked their tail off. Deserved terrorist style win!
Even though the defense looked shaky as a whole, I thought De Ligt played very well. I feel much more confident when he is out there to command the defense.
Harry Kane 9 points outta the first the UCL games. Without further iverservstion, I guess he never achieved that before. Heck, maybe he barely had that as a total before. Especially not during the group stage facing us. :-D
I don’t understand the hate towards the fans. Why would you want a silent stadium, fans are supposed to support their team lol.
Are there no interviews after the Game on Dazn?
So was that a Tuchel’s masterpiece? Like… i am asking honestly, as I am far too biased already towards him. In my eyes he played an underdog tactic that he used to play with his previous underdog teams and the icing was not even including Muller at all.
Little to do with tactics, we got extremely lucky imo
Whatever tactic he had, our players f-ed it up everytime, they couldn’t string together 2 passes, but blame the coach, sure
This game was the most obvious game to date that it’s our players that are the problem
We got lucky today. They produced 3.08xG if they were more clinical we would have been in trouble.
Tuchel is frustrating there is no clear style of play, the players get to the final third and don’t know what to do.
The midfield was slow and predictable the defense was quite shocking at times. Take the 3 points but lord I can’t watch this team.
If kerem akturkoglu had scored that goal maybe I would have slept happy as a gala fan
A midfielder better be signed in Jan, it’s like watching a huge void in middle …
The Gala madness was 50% fueled by the fans and the referee IMO, many questionable calls.
I’m most glad today when Sane is not on top form (still good but not top) the rest of the team weathered through 70 mins and pulled it off. Sane really could have ended it earlier with the Coman assist around '60.
Musiala/Daives/Laimer were overwhelmed and the most hurt by the ultra physical game but they all survived and earned the win.
I, too, wish Mueller would come on earlier to stabilize the situation but we had to do a ton of counter attack and quick break I can see why he wasn’t called.
Lastly big shout out to Lord Sarr!
I hope this sub finally puts some fucking respect on Ulle‘s name, he‘s been saving our asses all season already with world class saves
underrated comment 👏
Müller has to start the next game (I hope)
