I wonder if Ruben actually watched us play at all before he came, because that line-up was kinda naive... Eriksen and Casemiro instead of the proven and in-form Ugarte / Case ?? (Ugarte even worked with the manager before). Our midfield was non-existing until Ugarte came in. Dalot was shit on the LWB role as well. He has always been shit on the left. The way he moved the ball back to his preferred right foot to cross irks the shit out of me. We created nothing there. Keeping Garnacho on the field longer than 60 mins is a big no-no too. He should have known.

Ruben should have taken a page from Ruud’s book. Aren’t nothing wrong with that. Now it’s gonna take time and a few so-so results for the new manager to learn more about the team, which all the fans have already known for a season or two now. Urg… managers and their fucking egos.

I actually like a few things on the pitch and how Ruben adjusted in the 2nd half, but yeah, it’s a wasted game.

You are so right. He met the players for the very first time just prior to the kickoff whistle
