Against the big teams we tend to play our pressing and counter pressing and counter attacking more direct game, albeit not as well as when we always played it, so hopefully we do really well out of those fixtures
Our issues seem to come when we start believing we're some kind of awesome possession side and try and play that way against lesser sides, and play so slow and ponderous and overplay so much it's easy for them to press us, nick possession and counter or play through us
We were brilliant v Real for 15 minutes, then decided we could play them at their own game instead of continuing as we started, I think the players know certain players in our squad can be a liability and Gomez letting Vinicius of all players come inside on his right foot and fire past Alisson when our other players were positioned around him perfectly for him to go tighter and more aggressively to Vinicius far earlier to point blank stop him coming inside on his right hugely deflated several of our players, theyve seen it too many times, as have I
I still rue the day Jurgen knocked backed the favour Stevie was trying to do him offering us 30m for Gomez in the summer
