    Checking the stats there on BBC and they have given us 51% to 49% in terms of possession? :56:

    They basically dominated the entire match, just couldn't make the breakthrough.

    If we don't get replacements in and we qualify past the play-offs I will be terrified!! With this team we will get pumped by the likes of bayern (would get beat anyways but I'm talking like 6-0)

    It will be embarrassing if we don't get some quality players in for the group stages

    Watch again, when we don't have our hands in front of our faces * ourselves. I've just kinda half watched it back (half fast forwarding:icon_mrgreen:) and it's really not as bad as folk were making out.

    It will be more embarrassing if we panic buy and end up with duds.

    Maybe he paid a visit to his neighbour before he left?

    We couldn't go into the Champions League with that team. Not good enough.

    What better time to come on and hold the ball up. The guy is a giant and would have had a bit more strength on the ball...stokes is a skillful player but in another situation a like for like substitution might have been better..

    Yup, I've no doubt we're lining up the players that we need at the moment.

    We should be bidding for hosiner as soon as lenny gets off the plane in glasgow just in case we draw austria vienna, then when we qualify he signs big alfie seeing as hosiner would be cup tied, best of both worlds

    The pitch is a huge factor. They obviously * up the underlay and the drainage. It also looked quite worn down - maybe it's meant to be like that. I guess what happens is you go for a burst of pace - you slide and it puts the hamstrings at risk. You go to put on the breaks, you stretch your ankle ligaments.

    The camber is just completely confusing because the ball doesn't run flat.

    I think that's why we sat in and tried to keep the ball high up to Samaras. Safety first.

    Big Kelvin was solid again - he'll be missed, but fair do's to the guy he put in one or two brilliant challenges.

    the same Anthony stokes who struggled for a start under lenny last season. I don't agree with the decision to put stokes on but hes certainly never been one of lenny's favorites. I personally would have thrown watt on to provide some aerial ability and pace up top. I wouldn't have thrown balde into such an important match because hes barely played for us so far and when he has hes looked bad. So i'd rather we blood him in during a less important game than the champions league qualifier.

    That's because he was injured half the season.
