Look at those Joga Bonito boys last night. How well did they work to collectively press us with the ball and stifle our attack

The sad reality is last night we were massively outworked by a superior skilled opponent

Now the only other team who thinks that is a good idea is the Jets
The picture in my head whenever someone says 'stick a boot in' is that of a Terry Butcher or Mark Rudan. A shitheap player that has 'YOU CANT RUN WITHOUT LEGS' tattooed somewhere on their body. (Usually with spelling errors).


These days the idea of a 'physical' defender is usually pointed at the Juve bloke, Ramos and Thiago Silva.

I think of them as infinitely more skilled than anyone on our team.

Those blokes ain't 'sticking a boot in' they are just ****ing great players.
