Couple of good hard tackles, turn the marker inside out, then pass it straight out. 

Sums us up.

Morelos comes on; Defoe goes off. 

Defoe's class, but I think he's getting out-muscled. Time for Morelos, I think. 

It looks like a 4-2-3-1, from us. 

There's more urgency now. 

Ojo coming on, Kamara going off. 

I suspect Aribo will drop one back, Ojo taking his place.

Too many "players" in the midfield, no-one is really taking responsibility and marches onto goal and tus we get crowded out. Their backline is for the tacking, but now they can sit back and try to hit on the counter. That should be hammered into the players.

 

Jones at HT for Kamara please, we need a more direct approach.

I think I'd take Aribo off before Kamara.

It's quite a tight, even game, for the most part. 

And, we've not been at it. 

I want SG to give them a bollocking at Half-time and send them out fighting. 

Aribo clattered Brown there; much better. 

Aribo's not up for this; he keeps shirking challenges, and getting out-muscled. 

Kamara has been wasteful, but at least he looks up for it. 

Poor goal to concede. 

Too many mistakes creeping into our game today.

Quick summary of Young Boys

• Thrashed the league last season with 91 points and GD of 63, finishing 20 points ahead of Basel
• Knocked out of UCL by Red Star after drawing 2-2 at home and 1-1 away
• 5 games into league season with 4 wins and a draw
• Sold two players for £10m and spent circa £7m on replacement

A very tough game this one, we're underdogs here but you'd like to think this is a team we might just scrape through ahead of

Can we beat Feyenoord, Pete?

Pete,

 

Can we defeat Feyenoord?

 

Given past encounters, should we travel?

@pete !!  

Porto will walk it, but the others could take points off each other, giving us a chance of progressing.

Group G: FC Porto, BSC Young Boys, Feyenoord, RANGERS FC.

That's... a decent draw.

Your font is rather large Frankie ?.

What!?

I'd like a competitive group like last season, where everyone can take points off each other, giving us a chance of progressing or burning!

Or, give me all the big names!

When is the draw for the proper competition, the Europa League?  

I always enjoy watching Leipzig (Nagelsmann took over in the summer) and Salzburg, so I'll be looking out for them. 

I'm intrigued to see how Atalanta continue their form - superb last year. 

And, yes, Conte's Inter should be interesting to watch. 

We've not really been at it. 

Ojo epitomised this: a bit slow to everything, sloppy and wasteful.

We need a much better second half.

This team have continued where they finished, rolling about for the least little thing. 

The Ref's a joke for falling for it, time after time.

Yes.

I'll take it. 

6 minutes added on.  

I feel like we're taking too many risks. 

Just keep the ball.
