Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
Sevilla played well in the second half, but it’s hard not to be frustrated with that result.
Ref should never have stopped the counterattack that ended in Bellingham’s goal in the first half. And his whistle didn’t even affect play. The ball was already released on the counter when he blew. It wasn’t a bad injury.
And then not giving the penalty for Navas taking down Vini in the box is just inexplicable. That’s a foul every single time, and they didn’t even go to VAR.
Well played by Sevilla, 1 point at the Pizjuan isn’t the end of the world.
navas did the carvajal special. he’s gets away with it every other week. so it’s fine.
And Ramos as well. I can’t even explain that
Vinicious is not the kind of player you can build your team around or become a target man. He best performs when played as a service provider and score whenever he gets a chance.
Smartest r/soccer manager
Vini and Rodrygo are a problem. People are singling Rodry out, but Vini wasn’t any better. VIni also straight up plays like a left winger, even if he is supposed to be a striker, he does not unterstand what he is supposed to do and Rodrygo just gets lost roaming all over the pitch, trying to get involved. It is so bad.
Yeah vini was bad but rodry was straight up occupying his space and playing as the lw when he is supposed to play as a RW
Both of them are supposed to play as a striker, with licence to roam around. Vini goes to the touch line like he is a left winger, Bellingham is playing on that side aswell, so Rodrygo goes there also, just to get involved. The entire structure was fucked today.
Both are out of form (a bit more understandable for vini since he recently came back from an injury) but it doesn’t help that both are also playing out of position and are still not used to the new formation
Vini is not playing out of position, check his heatmap. He is literally playing like a left winger, even though he is not supposed to. That is one of the reasons why our entire structure in attack was so ass today. Earlier in the season he played more inside, but if the game doesn’t go his way, he just defaults back to doing what he knows and sits by the sideline, waiting for the ball. Rodrygo is wandering around trying to get involved, because jude plays on the left side too. Our right side was completely dead after Fede came off, which was just a wierd as fuck sub.
