Perfect 1st half of defensive-first football. The players are clearly not used to the system and finding it hard to build attacks. Even when we found the extra man out wide, we didn’t know what to do with it.
This is simply a dogfight. Barely any football being played. Survival of the fittest.
Massive win! Huge win for Lopetegui. Will save him. However, you see what happens when you keep attacking Julen. You get your rewards! Great goal by Kounde! We free flowing lol
That’s the thing. If this is the way forward and Lopetegui starts to be more positive and learn from his mistakes. Then great. If it’s just a one off then it’s not a good thing long term!
Fantastic win. We looked much more offensive and good to watch. The big question is, is this the new way forward or just a one off? We will find out but I hope it’s the former.
If Lopetegui wants to keep his job, he needs to keep watching the video of this match and follow this blueprint. We were solid and started well. Difference here compared to previous games was when we scored, we kept attacking and went for their throat. Much better and got awards.
Kounde was excellent. Jordan and Fernando were immense in midfield. De Jong and Ocampos were good. We fought well and showed quality in final third. We will see what happens next. Can never predict with us.
I think it also shows Getafe is basically up there, because a lot of teams are underperforming. Not that Getafe is that great, better then average and Yes they can be a pain in the ass for teams like Ajax who can´t handle the irritation and dueling, Which we can do fine. Or even like to do ourselves lmao. Not blown away by the type of goals but i´m glad with the result as its helping us to stay up there. Lope´s deathbed extends.
