I don't think it is, I knew we'd be out of our depth. We are in the toughest group playing against established Champions League teams who will all look to go deep into this compition.

 

We've exceeded expectations in Europe over last 2 or 3 seasons and got to EL final which I think we all thought was beyond us at this time.

 

Added to the fact we have circa 11 players out injured, didn't spend much money on transfers.

 

What did you expect? 

 

It's scary HOW FAR we are out our depth.

Plzen, a worse team than us, in a more difficult group, are putting up more of a fight.

Ajax and Liverpool are not going far in this competition. 

 

Ajax are already out, and Liverpool are rubbish.

 

I expected it to be extremely difficult for us - not least because it's a difficult group, as you said - but I did expect us to put up a semblance of a fight. 

I meant at start of group - all 3 would have looked to go far.

 

Liverpool aren't rubbish? Far from it. They are going through a tough patch at the moment, but saying they are rubbish is over the top.

 

Semblance of a fight - hard when you can't lay a glove on your opponents given they are leagues above us.

I’m shouting “don’t let Tav take the free kick”. They never listen

And their lager is better.

Really? Maybe look at the resources Ajax, Liverpool and Napoli have. Maybe look at how they have performed in CL recently. Then compare that to our resources and that this is our first time in CL since 2010.

At the moment: in Six (6) games

We've scored one (1) goal.

We've conceded what, nineteen (19).

We may well finish tonight's business as the worst team ever to grace the CL Group Stages. 

 

So far, so inexcusable.

Should just not bother turning up if that's the attitude.  Money doesn't buy fight, desire or a will to win. 

 

I wonder when Kent will ever decide to cross the ball after beating a man once.  Such a frustrating watch.

True but we have been crippled with injuries too.
