Gonzo79 14,162 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Playing at this level, we have to realise we'll be soundly beaten at times but it's the manner of the defeats, particularly in Amsterdam and last night, that are so frustrating. The CL is the pinnacle of football but some of our players don't look interested. Bizarre! Edited October 13, 2022 by Gonzo79 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easter Road was the same. Not just in the CL. Something has triggered this. We put USG to bed in a great performance. Put a good PSV side away then as a team have just fizzled out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been ourselves and are unraveling at precisely the time we come up against the best. We can do better than we have been but the yes, CL for clubs at our level is the football equivalent of prostitution. Can we do a Brugge or Ajax? After 49 years of research I doubt it. But we have to try. Edited October 13, 2022 by buster. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 14,162 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Kent did a good impression of the invisible man last night and Lundstram kept giving the ball away in dangerous areas. They're supposed to be two of our better players. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like continuing to increase revenue through European football and player trading. Equally they need to win games. The infrastructure should have waited. The team needed refreshing, big time. This comes from the top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you leave it to an off-the-cuff decision, in the moment, that's what happens. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board were right with the infrastructure, including Youth development but the football department haven't spent their budget well. Time to have pushed the boat out slightly IMO was after 55, ie. built on success. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but we didn't and after the sales we made last year and reaching the Europa League final and the money generated by that we should have. Aside from Colak and Lawrence we blew good money on projects that can barely get off the bench and did not spend enough to buy first team quality where we really needed it, ACM and RW. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
