Thought 2nd half of 1st half we were looking decent. But 2nd half Citeh came out and looked a different side.
Still level though when Alisson makes his first mistake, and how unbelievable for him to go on and make another one straight after. Mad. Game over.
This is a really good side, in title winning form, and like in the CL final vs RM if a keeper causes a team to concede 2 goals, no matter who they are, it's a massive ask to overturn that.
But that's how its been for us this season, as well as all the injuries, we've had poor form from top players. And Citeh deserved the 3 points, they were the better side.
Watching the 2nd half play out, it wasn't a surprise really, we've been really poor against much lesser sides, so this was always going to be tough.
In saying that, on our day if we turn it on, we can beat anyone. But it's not a tap you can just turn on.
I could pick on players who I thought were poor today, but just feel it would be nit picking, because as a team, it's just not fecking happening for us right now.
Jürgen is a top manager, but it's disappointing that we haven't found a way to perform better at home. 3 losses on the bounce.
Don't though agree with the talk about this team having run its course, we have ridiculous injury problems and still think we'll get top4, we have Jota to come back and CBs to come in [not surprised neither started today].
But we need to improve our home form.
CL tie coming up soon, so we need to improve fast, otherwise we're out of that too, and the season peeters out.
Just hope the manager and the lads figure something out.
