I’m not really buying this whole Poch got it wrong thing. We were superb first half and the only fault was not taking our chances.
We were on top early in the second half and when Allegri made his changes I have to say they looked pretty innocuous. Their first goal was against the run of play but well worked and the second was a nice touch by Higuain but pretty dopey defending and Hugo very slow of his line.
I am genuinely interested in what people think Poch should have done between their first and second goals? Because I didn’t notice any massive shift in the game between minutes 60 (the subs) and 64 (the first goal).
My only question of Poch is really why we didn’t use the third sub. Did he have one eye on extra time thinking MD might not make it? Even so, with Juve so deep surely chucking Moura on for Trippier wouldn’t have hurt?
Overall I’m disappointed, gutted but also proud of how we’ve equipped ourselves in Europe this year. Of our 8 games, 6 have been tougher than anything United or Liverpool have faced thus far and apart from two dodgy spells v Juve we’ve been bloody brilliant.
