I thought the issue last night in that first half was the poor press.
We clearly wanted to let them play from the back, as they were supposedly poor playing out.
The problem was it was only the front three that pressed; the midfield didn't, so they were able to pass through the press.
Second half we utilised a mid block, which worked better.

Hamilton has certainly had the best car over the last few years -- same with Schumacher -- but I think he's certainly the best driver of his generation.
Damon Hill made the point that it's too difficult to compare drivers of different eras, because the cars and circumstances are too different.

Don't Feyenoord fans throw soft toys onto the pitch for a children's charity?

I don’t know what more Hagi can do to be fully appreciated by some fans. 8th assist of the season already, and it’s 7 assists in 6 games for him. Both his passes here were worthy of an assist in their own right. Hopefully more fans are starting to see how important a player he is.
Reminds me of Ozil.
Ozil is/was an assist machine, but because of his relaxed approach and tendency to drift out of games, he was criticised.

Hagi was our main creative force during that first half, drifting out out it like the rest of them later on.
Tavernier was excellent too: that assist to Defoe was pin-point.
However, I think Davis was at the heart of that creativity early on too, and while the rest of them drifted out of it, he continued to graft when it got tough; he continued to probe but also covered us defensively too when we were a bit sloppy.
Davis gets it, for me.

Way-hay, back in the top 10! However, I was hoping not to get the full points today, especially as we were 2-0 up so early. Thought there would be more goals in us today, but happy with the 3 points and glad that Joe and JD were the scorers.
I was the same...

I must take the blame: I added Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez to my PL Fantasy team.

I like the look of Itten: he's got good stature and athleticism, but he's also got control, an eye for a pass and has a good strike on him.
He's a little unlucky not to have had more minutes, but he does have Morelos, Roofe and Defoe to contend with.

That's a good point about the midweek game: it's bound to have affected us, so any win is a good result.

Meh-- I'll take it: 3 points.
I'd take a 2-0 win everyday of the week.

Sublime finish from Defore: he's caressed it into corner.
Solid half, without having to get out of first gear.
Some nice passages of play.
And, we've been clinical.

Hey, Rousseau is that Route 1?
Nah.
It's a long pass, in behind.
Route one is from the 'keeper, is it not?

I really like those long passes in behind.
They've not came to anything, but they're useful for switching it up, pushing them back when they get too compact.
0 -
They've got big Efe Ambrose playing fir them!?
I'm worried now - how have we scored two goals?

Bassey's taken a head knock - hope he's alright.

I'll post in the correct match thread this time...
Good play, easy set-up from Hagi, easy goal from Aribo.
Defoe should have taken the initial chance, but I'm pleased to see we kept the pressure up and got our reward.
1-0.

Interesting; very interesting.
Surprised to see Defoe start, but it's probably the best opportunity. He's very good at finding space in packed boxes -- which it'll inevitable be -- so he might suit this game.
Kamara and Arfield probably deserve a wee rest.
I'm not concerned in the lest to see Bassey replace Barisic - he's more than an able deputy and it's better if we don't take any risks with Borna.
It's great to have Aribo back.
It's quite exciting to have Kent, Hagi and Aribo in the same side today.
We need to capitalise on their slip-up.

[FT] Rangers 1 (Morelos 68) - 0 Lech Poznan

If we compare the goals scored in the group stages/proper rounds (excluding qualifiers) and where those teams finished in their leagues:
McCoist:
CL: 4 goals - Leeds (C), Grasshoppers (C)
EL: 3 goals - Bohemians (-), Ives (-), Boavista (5)
Morelos:
EL: 9 goals - Rapid Vienna (2), Porto (C), Young Boys (C), Feyenoord (3), Lech Poznan (2).
Morelos shades it, for me.
The Europa League definitely looks a more difficult prospect now - McCoist was playing against sides from Ireland and Finland!
