Europa League 2017/18

I’ve said this before but I think they sort of remind me of us.
Poch and Simeone both got their ideas and philosophies from Bielsea, both teams runs a lot and press high. Both have a fairly young squad and promoted a few academy players. Both don’t have the money to compete with their rivals but are still up there every year. Both new stadiums, both historical big clubs but have underperformed (until both managers joined).
The difference is that they’ve won stuff and competed in Europe and plays bit more defensively than us

Poch and Simeone have totally different outlooks on the game. Poch is all about being on the front foot, pressing, the high line, and trying to control the game. Someone is all about the low block defensive organisation, blanket defence, and then relying on the transitions to counter, or prey on mistakes. Much like Jose, it’s infuriating when no-risk football pays off.

Plus there's no comparison between their silverware haul in the last 10 years and ours.
I wish we were as succesful as them but we're not even close.

N’Jie with of the single worst attempted finishes I’ve ever seen

Was up there with that Paulinho attempt

That was a shame really. AM were clearly favourites and the stronger team, but circumstances really shafted Marseille who started really well, missed a golden chance to go one up, lost Payet, gave away a really sloppy goal and then conceded immediately after the break. From there AM just cruised it.
