Real 3-1 Barca

It rarely happens but we got our tactics spot on for this Spanish derby. Thought we were deserved victors and if we'd been more clinical the scoreline could have been bigger. Excellent performance from MoTM Frenkie De Jong. We've hit a bit of form which is good especially with a very tough game against Atletico next.
Played Mati.

Fiorentina 3-1 Athletico Madrid

Great win against a very strong side. We decided to risk an adventurous line up, with the 3 up front, and a few other tweaks from last week.
Despite being initially countered, we got the very early 1st minute goal from St Maximin which led to a few changes, however we continued to perform well, and Martinez got the second before half-time. We didn't clam up this time, and it looked iffy when the opposition got one back through Odegaard, but we kept our shape and got the all important third through Berardi.
Locatelli had his best game in a purple shirt, and is now close to levelling up.
Overall we created enough chances to deserve the win, unlucky Si, I'm sure it'll turn around soon.

[Marshy@Atletico]

Fiorentina 3 Atletico Madrid 1

The overall shot count of 16-7 certainly shows a deserved home victory but the difficult take was having TA at the start of the game and going behind after 1 minute leaving passing versus an away european tactic that simply didnt work. With Real Madrid next Atletico miserable domestic season continues as they fall a fair way back from the champions league places.

Manager Simon Marsh added "I am definitely not getting as much from the players as I should be but we cannot catch a break right now. There is still time on our sides but I am beginning to second guess everything I have ever known and confidence is flat. Maybe I should have applied for the Roma job!".
