This is such a poor performance against a Madrid team that's just a shadow of what it when we last played them. There are no fans, away games shouldn't be an issue any longer so why are our lads so timid here? I'd get it if this was a packed Bernabeu but it's not even their stadium we're playing in and none of their cunt fans are present. So frustrating.

You don't want to blame Phillips, but he's miles away from Vinicius on the goal. He looked like he wanted to play goalie, he was so deep.

Phillips is clearly not good enough at this level.

 

He is heralded because he’s not completely hopeless and a bit better than we expected/not as bad as feared and can do the basics ok...But he nowhere near his man often when we are attacked.

Watch the replay Vinicius is standing next to trent.  Phillips can’t see him. Trent just stands there looking right at him walking away into Phillips blind side.  Then goal.  Doesn’t follow him or tell Phillips.  He just hasn’t got a defensive bone in his body and clearly refuses to learn.

He's a great 4th or 5th choice defender.

Well, you should care that there was a player essentially ummarked 15 yards out, but yes, Alisson should save it.

 

I just don't want to mitigate Allison's mistake, tempting as it is for a non-world-class defender's shortcoming to take some heat off a world-class goalkeeper's clear error.
