A draw away against any of the teams in this group is a good result. Too many players had an off day today, but a point is a point.

 

Milan are going to be dangerous in the return game though, their whole team is set up to counterattack.

[Renton 23703]

Aye. Step back. We have just drawn to AC Milan in the fucking Champions League at the fucking San Siro with a side with Jacob Murphy as a fucking starter. 

 

I mean, go back 2 years and get someone to predict that. I dare you. What's that Steve? 

 

 

It wasn't you Steve.

I think we looked like bairns staring ate2 Cliff Richard with his cock out. Our form leading up to this reminded me of our form leading up to the League Cup Final. We didn't deliver then either.

 

I'm not a knee jerker but I do think Howe can't take it past the threshold he wants to. He's too nice and it's a shame cos I like him.

howay man. The bloke has massively overachieved. He deserves at least another 18 months before anyone even thinks about debating whether he’s the right man for the job. You know we’re not supposed to be playing at the San Siro this season, right? We’re still playing Jacob Murphy, Fabian Schar, Sean Longstaff and Miggy Almiron!

nah.

nowt a matter without pointing out we've looked poor, particularly going forward in all but one game this season.

I hope howe sorts it out, I'm sure he will. doesn't alter the present reality though.

Dortmund looking like the whipping boys of the group lads.

Or he’s not getting protection for the left side of midfield. Gordon will give 100% effort but I’m not sure he’s got the footballing intelligence for the top level.

Harsh on Gordon. He’s been our most dangerous forward so far this season.  
 

And he’s giving Burn more protection than  ASM gave him when he played there.

 

there are issues all over the pitch. We need a proper left back. I’d like to see Hall finally get his chance at the weekend. And we miss the Joelinton/Willock combination down our left side which made us so solid defensively and dangerous in attack last season.   
 

The more games we play, the more I think we should have invested in a proper number 6.

Just thought we looked shite. I appreciate the journey but here we are and that's what they delivered

[Chaser 1367]

Look at Ten Hag. Comes in, spends a small fortune and they still don't look any better than what they were under OGS. No one is calling for his head because they want the board out. 

 

Eddie came in when we were rock bottom and turned this club from Championship contenders to Champions league in less than 18 months. Thats an absolutely unfuckingreal turnaround. 

 

He's become the victim of his own success now as a result as it's now the 2nd sticky patch in all of that time. I remember only too well how there was too much criticism of Bobby before we pedalled him and after that the whole gig went to ratshit. Eddie has shown that he knows how to play superb high intensity football. He just needs to work out why we aren't doing it right at this moment.

Gordon isn’t much improvement on the rest of the wingers. He is basically just quick. I don’t like his positional play but Howe can sort that out. I think that’s why he didn’t trust him last season. 
 

I hope Barnes starts getting a chance as he is the only winger that will rack goal involvements.

 

Depending on the game I’d more likely start Big Joe and Willock on our left side though. 

[Chaser 1367]

So it seems the irony is that we all wanted new faces in during the summer, but we all want the old guard to get the band back together and recreate the magic.

Agree with the bit in bold.
 

I think Gordon is the best of the wingers we have currently available.

 

I think ASM would have been well up for that tonight. I understand why we flogged him but he would have been a good option off the bench tonight with 20-30 to go.

He is better when he is allowed to drift over to the left. But put on the left, nah. 

[Dr Gloom 23647]

How many points is usually enough to qualify? 10/11?

 

Win our three home games and we’re probably through, aren’t we?

[wykikitoon 22916]

If you can't get up for a game of CL footy at the San Siro you're wank. The difference is would bandage boy have put the hard yards in or spent most of the game sat on his arse crying for mummy.

Get a draw against PSG at their place and we should be confident of going through 

[aimaad22 4691]

Just one game lads and we were non existent as an attacking force so I'd keep the pitch forks in the cupboard when it comes to Isak and Gordon.

 

I've seen enough from Gordon to know he can develop into a very dangerous player but aye he's far from the finished article right now. 

 

Isak has been poor last couple of games, but again, we've offerend nothing going forward as a teeam and he had zero service. He had great impact down the left for us a few times last season but I dont know if that's his best position, we need him running down the center directly at defences once we get our attacking mojo back.

 

No doubt we're a better side with Joelinton the left, been saying that constantly. Where that leaves Barnes I don't know.
