Agreed.
It's worth noting Fabinho and Gomez had already come off, meaning Napoli only had to deal with 2 players who are taller than 6' on the field in Lovren and VVD.
Preposterous to ask 5'7'' Mertens to mark 6'2'' Lovren when you have players like Koulibaly, Fabian, Maksimovic and Manolas, all of whom between 6'2'' and 6'4'', to do that job for you.
I don't mind zonal marking however sometimes you need common sense to make sure the big tall opposition threats are all covered.
Group H is going down to the wire! Chavs have it all in their hands though, they are through as long as they win.
Group G was going down to a epic 4 way fight but late drama i believe has send Red Bull through top.
Group F should favor Inter who are home to Barca on the final day who are already through top however knowing Inter they will bottle it.
