He is very good without the ball and is crucial to the press. Unfortunately, with the ball, he has been a passenger for a while now. He was awful again last night. His confidence seems to be on the floor as well.

Just have to hope he rediscovers the player that he is next season.

We dominated Madrid but that was a team ready to implode. They now have, it seems. Last night we came up against a very good side and we couldn't get our best players in the game.

A look at our bench tells a story. Two keepers and three lads who don't have a senior appearance between them.
