I think Brugge/Porto is our level, or should be in time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was only looking at teams in the current groups. Salzburg, Zagreb, Kopenhagen, Benfica, Sporting, Eintracht, Bodo and Co.. Those are the teams we can face with some sort of confidence of beating them. Brugges? Porto (who beat Leverkusen away 3-0)? Maybe on a very good day at home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leverkusen (15th bundesliga/ 4th CL gp) and Slavia Prague (well behind V.Plzen in league/ 4pts after 4 games in Europe Conference) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let Gio off the hook for the Ajax result Ajax always beat us, we were fcuked at the draw. Just like we never get beat at PSV, always going through. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,569 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Apart from a couple of results in qualifying for CL we haven't just been well beaten when facing tough opposition we have, like on Weddesday night, been trashed. I hate critising the manager but something ain't right and i put it down to him not being very good tactically. The other night 5mins into second half he should have freshened the midfield by changing to a 4-4-2 by removing either Kent or Sakala but did nowt. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
