Worst I've seen this team play in years. Even worse than when we finished in 7th place. Mattieu Coates Doumbia and Luis are all utter trash and have no place on this team.
It really was terrible. It was a win but it was by far our worst performance. Any other team and it would be 5-0 To add to that, Wendel has been awful too. We had absolutely no midfield. Wendel and Doumbia dont track back enough, are constantly out of position and dont move the ball forward. We urgently need better midfielders in the team.
Starting XI Renan Ribeiro; Rosier, Ilori, Coates, Luís Neto, Borja; Doumbia, Eduardo, Bruno Fernandes; Vietto, Bolasie So it looks like a 3-5-2 this time.
Well this 2nd half has been a bit of a bore. As usual we seem to only play 45 minutes. Thankfully this team is not very good.
The level of concentration of some of these players is a joke. Borja I thought might be an interesting pick up but he's below average. Ilori is just as bad, Doumbia is shocking, Eduardo is average at best.
LASK Linz beating PSV 4-1, very interesting result which puts us in 1st with 9 pts, LASK and PSV with 7. We face PSV at home next.
What a performance. Clearly the best of the season. And of course qualification to the knockout rounds with a game to spare. More of the same please!
Renan off with a straight red giving up a penalty when already 1-0 down. And Rodrigo Fernandes gets yanked. 2-0 now, can't see me watching the second half....
Awful result... but this team beat PSV 4-1. There are certain players that need to be gone in a few weeks....
We face Istanbul BB in the next round of Europa League after today's draw. Other draws: Porto vs Leverkusen Benfica vs Shakthar Braga vs Rangers Funny, we finished 2nd in the group but got on paper a better draw than the other teams.
