Need to see it again, however what I'm in no doubt is just how good he was at pushing Roma back 2nd half and being so positive on the ball. Much like the Tielemans we love. Another big performance needed next week, as I've said before I keep picturing another ripper from him in a famous backdrop and stadium. Where I was sat it looked like Albrighton was at least as culpable for not tracking back for their goal. He let the wingback simply trot past him to help create the goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 28 April 2022 Share Posted 28 April 2022 It’s actually getting quite depressing watching him now to be honest. It’s so clear he already has a contract agreed elsewhere because there’s no way he’d be mincing about like he is if he was still in the shop window! I realise in ECL there’s no one else but I’d like to see someone else given a go in the league from now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t notice him not tracking back for their goal because all my attention was taken up with the shambles that was Albrighton and Ricardo’s input to the goal as that’s the side I’m on at the KP.

jmono84 Posted 28 April 2022 Share Posted 28 April 2022 I thought tonight was his best game for a while by miles. Their goal was so easily avoidable but I don’t think Tielemans was at fault. We’d get the £25m were asking for the Tielemans that played tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 28 April 2022 Share Posted 28 April 2022 Thought Pereira was most at fault for their goal tbh, far too casual in getting across and then letting him come. Was also a very saveable shot... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 Just now, coolhandfox said: Best game in a while for me. Same. He finally seemed to come al8ve and see the pitch open up for him to get some space and those passes in to players and the opposition on the back foot. Plenty abusing him for not being tight to Pellegrini for their goal but not a single bit of praise for his ball winning that gave Iheanacho the sort of chance he's often lethal at finishing digging it out of his feet with a curling effort for 15-20 yards. All round it was the sort of Tielemans performance we saw nearly every week last season, so in a sense it's nothing special but if you can't register when he's not had a howler of a game then you're fcuked as a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 Not sure where the criticism of Ricardo is coming from. I thought his all round game was very good last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 RE: Youri, much better from him. Retained possession well and used the ball well. He seemed to be directing the game more influentially as well, wanting to urge players forward. It seemed like that was missing recently along with his general performances. But he was getting out of tight spaces frequently and playing the ball quicker. The only thing I could criticise him for, and I think is warranted, is going to ground when they countered and letting the opposition take him on too easily. 4 minutes ago, Wasyls Pec Deck said: Not sure where the criticism of Ricardo is coming from.

Roma seemed to oddly ignore it until they decided to bring on Vina to cover their left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 Perhaps it was an opportunity to show Mourinho how he could play against an Italian team. His future seems to be in Italy I reckon , another PL team will just highlight his problems with pace and aggressive pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 (edited) Pretty unfussy and was playing too deep to really effect the game, but he was very poised on the ball last night. His calmness under pressure allowed us to sustain our attacking impetus most of the night. There was one eye of the needle drilled left footed pass into Maddison under pressure which took out about 3 Roma players which was the kind of thing only he could do from our side. Not a lot of competition I know, but it was his best display for a while. Don't understand the Ricardo criticism either. He was a solid 7/10 last night and got better as the match went on, especially defensively. Zalewski got one on one with him 2 or 3 times second half and he snuffed it out with a perfectly timed tackle each time A pass here or there went astray, but for a full back he does try to be progressive with his distribution so I'll never knock him for that.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 29 April 2022 Share Posted 29 April 2022 Thought he was pretty naff first half, second half he stepped up, think the lack of pressure Roma gave us in that half though allowed him to get back into the game. The tracking on the first goal is inexcusable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
