Mind the scene in Casablanca when Humphrey Bogart and Captain Renault waltz off into the distance at the end , well that will be Clement and Lawrence in October when the league is lost and we are out of Europe.

They will pop up together somewhere like Halifax or Tranmere in the English league division 2 where they belong , in their beautiful relationship.

And, then, the Board will round up the usual suspects..

It's going to take the rest of this season and the next before we have a chance at the title imo.

Disappointment all round. The refs decision obviously had a massive impact on the game but our play confuses me. It seems we resorted to funneling the ball wide and hitting long hopeful crosses into from deep areas to one striker. We have seen this movie before with Tav & Borna from 2 seasons ago. 

 

We also need to end this number 10 nonsense. We need a player with guile, pace, energy and goals & assists. Lawrence is none of these things. Get Sterling in the middle as a 6 and shove the two 8's forward.

 

On top of all that Ridvan looks like he's out (again), Jefte will be suspended for future UEFA games and Hampden is a problem. 

Lawrence needs shipped out before the windows closes along with a few others

Cheated by a biased ref. It leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

There is a difference between acceptance and happiness.  

 

Anyone expecting miracles during this window is going to be very, very disappointed. 

Don't want miracles - just want to see improvements. Not seen much thus far. 

 

1 fit striker (who some want sold)

 

2 full backs who are rank rotten (and one that can't stay fit) who's replacements are having to fill in for other positions.

 

Starting line-up that are questionable (like tonights).

 

Lacking fitness

 

Lacking the basics 

 

A transfer window that was 6 months in the planning that's delivered very little.

It'll take much longer - whilst our manager is delivering a post match interview pleading poverty, this is posted - you can add another £60M to it now

Have we ever had a homer - Ibrox or Hampden in a European game. That tonight was up there with the scandalous Ufa game when Flannigan and Morelos got sent off.

 

Truth be told though we are nowhere near where we want to be. 

 

Whats the script with Danilo - if he is limping like that then he is nowhere near fit and should not be near the bench

So fucking what. They rape children.

The McCausland for Cerny sub still baffles me, even more so now the games over and McCausland had the better 45 mins.

Nobody's blaming the manager. 

 

Nobody will be overt about it, but read between the lines and I think it's obvious. Clement expected a war chest, he'd not getting it unless, by some miracle, we can off-load Hagi, Cantwell, Tav, Davies, possibly Dessers, for a good few million. That's looking more and more unlikely. What's also looking unlikely is Clement's ability to work miracles with what he's got and since the board cannot fund a proper rebuild, the support are looking to Clement to do the best with what we've got. I don't know if he is.
