if it is true then its even more important that we keep going just incase we dont get the league spot.

No mate, the winners get to play the CL WINNERS but don't get into the CL .

and the europa winners qualify for next seasons europa cup group stage...

it was frustrating because we had so much possession , some good chances but not the goals to show for it.

putting my glass half full hat on... if gerrard and skrtl had scored from pretty easy chances in the box then it would have been a 2 or 3 - nil cake walk, and no one would have suggested it was a bad performance

I can see you are incapable of a true match assessment....


Probably never been to a game, never played football...ignorance a plenty

I actually think Bamaga speaks sense and agree with most of his posts.

But not on this one about the effort of the players.
We tried and tried all night, it wasnt effort at all it was creativity tempo and end product.
We huffed and puffed but the players in the wide areas didnt produce and in that system it doesnt help if they arent doing it.
When Babel came on for Riera there was actually a bit of a threat.
I would actually have started Babel on the right and replaced Ngog with Kuyt if we wanted to play that system.
I think the young lad Pacheco could make a difference as well while we are so short on attacking and creative players.

But as i said there is no way i would question attitude or commitment last night.
Maybe tactics and formations possibly, but the squad is that weak in an attacking sense that the options are not great anyway.

this kind of game (at home, 'lesser' opposition) though is where Ngog will cut his teeth, and he'll learn from it.

For sure, he looked out of his depth at times - but he got a goal for his persistence

speaks volumes for the kind of "supporter" we have inherited over the last few years

We always struggle against this tactic as we like to sit back ourselves. I thing we will win the return leg more comfortably as they will be at home and will be forced to attack more seeing as how they need a goal. I hate playing these defensive teams as we never look good.
