I just can’t keep watching @KMbappe standing and not giving the minimum effort to run or score or create any fking chances. What a brainless clown 🤡 retard of a player to start every match for us. Not even equivalent to Ronaldo’s left leg forget matching his Madrid performances.
This team needs the old Mourinho. They need a ruthless leader, someone with a much lower tolerance of mediocrity. None of these problems of the last 2 years are going to get solved anything soon repeating the same things and being so gentle.
Nothing was right the second they came out in the 2nd half. These guys haven’t been up for a Derby at the Metropolitano in years. No urgency, no pride. No life. No leaders. Body language terrible. You’re facing a team that wants to rip your soul out. Show some balls.
Yes, Huijsen brain fart was the nail in the coffin but it wasn’t good 11 v 11 either, and Cucurella was marking 2-3 players by himself with Vinicius walking the entire time he was on the field and the tracking from Tchouameni / Fede being as poor as it was.
Any double pivot that doesn’t include Bernardo is going to be toasted in any big game. It has zero leadership, has no ability to escape pressure, and can't control the ball against a good midfield for more than 10 seconds.
I get that Trent has defensive struggles, but Dumfries has been shocking. Been disappointed with him so far.
You’ve committed to Vini-Mbappe again for the foreseeable future. They’re not compatible even when playing well, let alone Vinicius in this form. There are hungry players on the bench who can produce more at this stage.
My theory was that Mourinho was going to come in for the first couple months without wanting to disrupt things too much — to give some of these stars a chance / benefit of the doubt; and that maybe he’ll need to see it up close in a game of this magnitude. It’s time for those big decisions to come now.
DAY 26
PEACE & ONLY PEACE IS MY WAY…
While at Jantar Mantar the protests remain peaceful I’m pained to learn that elsewhere some antisocial elements are taking advantage of the peaceful protests to provoke violence.
No matter what the other side does our response must only be flowers.
Please keep this tradition at all costs.
