I could argue semantics and say that Molineux, Pride Park, and the City Ground are better than the above, but I rather think that you have so totally missed the point I was making that it's not really worth my saying any more.

Problem is that these three grounds are not better than the ones I listed. If you want to compare ground versus ground go ahead. But if you want to list 6 stadiums and say they are inherently better than 6 other stadiums, you are making a silly generalization. Not much of a "point." I read the broader context you wrote it in and it still does not stand as a valid statement.

douglas, agathe, guppy, valgaren, sylla, larsson, hartson, sutton, petrov, lambert, lennon, mjallby and balde (I think thats all who played) they were all on tonight so its relatively full strength team there. There can be no excuses and andy walker and tommy coyne said Basel were the better team and MON admitted fault too.....
No excuses are being offered,we were crap plain and simple, from the managers tactics to his player selection, full strength team it may be but very few players in their natural position and none used to the system.

parkhead_faithful I sympthasise with you when you talk about how MON should have changed the formation, everytime I'm at Ibrox I want to change it to a 4-4-2 but 4-3-3 seems to work for the scottish league for rangers as does 3-5-2 for celtic but the scottish league and the champions league are completely different. celtic have a poor champions league record away from home since MON took over only beating the off guard ajax team. My opinion matches yours I think you need 4 at the back away from home in europe because the three seem to get ripped apart and give away possesion with the long ball which doesnt matter in scotland, except against rangers, because teams like aberdeen are absolute diddies and they dont know what to do when they get the ball. With all respect Larsson yet again failed to shine against half decent opposition, just my opinion I know it will be disputed :P

We didnt catch ajax off guard, we played them off the park, they couldnt handle our wingers, unfortunately everyone has worked out now that if you stop our wide players you stop us, the only person that hasnt seemed to have worked it out is MON.
As for Larsson failing to shine against half decent opposition.... HAHAHAHAHAHA if you dont see that Larsson is a top class player you need youre eyes testing.
Why does Henrik Larsson walk with a stoop?
You would walk with a stoop too if you were carrying 10 other people!
