under par, as in better than average, coming in under par, a good score
Finney Is Back

I said to my mate next to me... 6-2 I reckon. We were completely vacant in the deep midfield position all night which made things incredibly easy for Bayern when attacking.

They have been for a very long time. Do you remember when Trippier was the best answer to that problem?
What he said. Poch has been fortunate that we've had Palace and SCBC come to our place and roll over. Outside of that the performances have been worse than from anyone but Sherwood in memory.

Only in golf.
The tactical setup was poor, but it's not what lost us the game IMO. I don't care if it's a diamond, ruby or anything other dug up from the dirt. We're not a bad team on paper, but we've become a dog brick TEAM. I have put forward several times the unpopular opinion that Son and Kane together is anything but optimal. When was the last time someone squared it for an easy tap-in? A surefire goal in the bank? When being a hero is more important than being a winner, you will often be neither. We regularly use the excuse that teams park the bus against us to play sideways and being static, but Bayern had no problems passing inbetween our two banks of whatever. Because they move. They make runs for each other. We don't anymore.
What we do is asking poor Winks to play as something he's not equipped to do. We are using Sissoko as our main creative outlet from the middle, our arguably worst passer who for some reason has become our arguably best passer. We have sold our first choice RB while waiting for two CBs to replace our present first choice RB. We are severely unbalanced, ending this game with 5 AMs (Kane being one of them). I can understand having a go, but that requires you to actually have a go, not continuing to do what's not working. And resorting to hoofball with no one up front is just weird. We were not record-breaking 7 smacks in the face poor the entire game, far from it, but we really pulled our knickers down and bent over at the end. It hurts.

But the rot really set in two days before the biggest game in our history when Poch announced he might leave if we win. That's a sackable offence on the eve of the CL final. We went into that game a semi-shambles with managers threatening to leave, managers crying after semi finals like the job was done, and dropping moura for a completely ineffectual kane.
Liverpool went to win. The difference was enormous.
Poch just isn't a winner. We've been brick in domestic semis and the cl final. And now this is just the implosion that has been threatening to come for 18 months.

it’s a golf analogy
Id only use par in a sentence elsewhere talking about Catherine, who unlike me tonight, didn’t lose her head

That's why I said a variant, we didn't tonight but we frequently line up 4-4-2 in defence to provide that cover.
