The issue is, we will perform well in Europe. That's the infuriating and worrying thing. How can we compete at that level yet look abysmal in a league full of teams (them uncluded) that are utter dog shit

I wouldn't bank on performing well in Europe with the group we are in and the squad/players unavailable we have.

 

A couple of scuddings are on the cards.

Until we rid ourselves of the majority of stevie gs team this will be the norm.    Kent kamara Davis barasic canal fuck off.

Barasic? He was our one shining light; we didn't take advantage of his deliveries.

You think?

I see no reason to assume so.

What, beating PSV over two legs doesn't show we can compete in Europe? We got to EL Final just over 100 days ago, whilst losing to teams domestically.

I fear for Europe to be honest. We are team that looks mentally weak.

[Malangsob 1,264]

Well...who do we play next? 

 

Ajax?

 

I think that is what we need...a nice Dutch team where everyone builds from the back.

 

None of this silly 'pressing' business...not our game...we need time to build...to set up...to take position...a real man's football!

 

A chivalrous game...in line with 18th century military tactics...your line v. mine.

 

This C**** 'guerilla' ball is for the rabble I say!

 

On to the next one!

Domestically, we only lose to them (since Gio has been here).

 

Domestically, the same problems mean we drop more points to provincial Scottish sides than them.

There is no reason why we can't finish 3rd in our group, then fall into EL.

 

We are nowhere near CL quality, but we have already successfully gotten to CL by knocking out a team who should have beaten us. 

 

We are a good team at EL level and shown that for 3 or 4 years now, getting better each season.

 

Why we can't replicate that domestically (under two managers) is the big question.

[gisabeer 409]

Gio you are to blame.  You replaced lawewnce with a defensive midfielder.  You pick more or less the same team that got fucking horsed last time and played the same tactics.  What the fuck did you expect.  One more like that and you can fuck right off.  Your not learning from your mistakes mate.  Champions league or not.

I hope that you are right. I am not optimistic, after such a drubbing, which exposed so many weaknesses, from manager, and coaches, through to individual players.
