Great football, but like it or not, Anton is right about Lustig. I live the big man but time has overtaken him like every player who plays against him.
Losing goals due to a lack of pace is criminal. It saps the confidence and needs to be sorted.
We don’t have a replacement that’s a stand out, but he must be replaced. Not Hendry though, that would be like jumping from the frying pan to the fire. Neither can it be Ralston, he’s just not good enough. Gamboa is erratic but might be the best option from a poor bunch.
It was great to see us mid to front so good. Benkovic, Boyata and Tierney are excellent, but a tortoise with a broken leg could get past Lustig. As long as he plays opposition will look to exploit that and better teams always manage it.
If I was the Liepzig manager all of the attacking would look to exploit our weakness at RB.
It’s a shame but the big man has just lost too much pace and we will pay for that.
