    First 20 minutes was awful no impact on their keeper at all. We slowly started to get into the game but even then, the final 3rd has been awful. Ciftci is awful. Best player on the park for me, is without a doubt Bitton.

    Only change I would make is Griffiths for Ciftci. GMS & Johansen aren't playing great but they both work hard closing them down. Will we get that from Forrest & Commons ?

    Not worth the risk.

    Good thing we didn't concede in the first half though.
    We always had this problem since RD took charge.
    I think we will win this (gonna come back in 50 minutes and see if I was right)

    Commons and Griff on for second half?

    I think Griffiths would be better suited for this Qarabag team...playing off the last man. Cifti has been unlucky, the ref has not given anything

    There is a lot of space between the Qarabag midfied and defence....Commons territory

    Commons won't last the whole half , especially in that heat.
    But, he is our most intelligent player. Finds space nobody else does. This keeper is bound to let one of his shots in. Not to mention his passing.

    They need to force the issue which will leave more space..

    Game crying out for Griffiths on 60mins, we'll win this.

    Bitton looks so composed.

    Would like to see Griff on for Shifty in the second half.

    They have to come out and score in the second half, so Griff can catch them on the break.

    Would also like to see Commons / Rogic in one of the forward positions, which are not working very well so far tonight.

    If we scrape through we are going to get pumped silly in Europe.

    I normally hate pessimism but we haven't shown anything during these qualifiers that will allay my fears.

    Dundee United - can't get into Europe but we'll buy their three best players and hope they can do the job for us.....

    Closed down well from Ciftci just then.

    Decent half, we've looked okay at the back I think. We could always improve in that area but so long as we don't get worse at it tonight we should see off this team.

    GMS has had a tough half. He should have been awarded a few free kicks as well. The ref is really lenient too.

    Bitton has been quality, I hope he's fit all season he makes our team click at times with his passing and he's so calm on the ball, he's improved defensively a lot too.

    Lennons looking well, Bit of weight on him though.

    VVD 15million we should look for. I'd take 12 though.

    despite the goals , he's very sloppy at the back. But hopefully that will change over time.

    Struggling a bit, looking disjointed and once we get forward there isn't enough support and the carrier bag players double up on GMS.
