I LOVE the bond this squad has with the fans. It's almost as if they know that the fans are the most important thing.
Bissouma is class.
All i have to say about that.

He did for the first 30Had a bit of a rough first half I thought, but you just know in an instant he can turn it on. Some of his runs bringing the ball out from the back towards the end of the game were so good. What a player.

I think it was because he realise they were there for the taking if we gave him the ballDoes anyone know why he was gesticulating so much? He seemed really worked up whenever Vicario or sometimes our CBs had the ball.
Also, I agree with those saying he did take some time to get into the game but I don't think he was helped as our main outlet when building from the back. Yes, their press was very aggressive for much of the first half but it seemed like our outlets were too far upfield to help out the boys trying to pass it out. Of course, that was partly their game plan: pounce on slightly-sloppy passes from the back and try to intercept the ball or force errors in possession to win it back. Of course, giving it away in such dangerous areas was high-risk but in hindsight, it seemed like Ange's decision to play with cojones was vindicated. A few of our players did succumb to the press but we were lucky not to get scored on after those mistakes.
I guess I'm wondering if our FBs should drop a bit deeper when we're trying to build it from the back to give more passing options in midfield. I'd rather keep Maddison further up field instead of having him drop to help stitch things up, although the flipside is that he can play dangerous passes even from deep positions at times.
I was thinking that too as he was being marked very tightly, sometimes double-marked. I just didn't know whether he wanted another CM to come help him out, or the FBs?I think it was because he realise they were there for the taking if we gave him the ball
The way he throws a shoulder and the opposition part is magic to see
