    We know what to expect when playing at home in this competition,we usually win.It seems it's just as predictable when we play away,* stinking record.

    Totally agree. They are 3 you are counting on to create, and not one of them did anything of note. Fair enough, Commons is not match fit, but there are no excuses for the mother two. I'm sick to the back teeth slating Forrest, but he flatters to deceive constantly on the big stage. The best opportunity we had, and he couldn't slide a simple ball across to Stokes. He was still better than Samaras though, who should hang his head in shame.

    What the * will you do with striker if there's no one to pass them. * get playmaker, then Stokes and Pukki will do the job. :47:

    Must win game and we put in the worst performance of the season so far. Pass marks to Forster and back four (Efe pushing it).
    Sammy - hopeless
    Stokes - okay
    Forrest - meh
    Kayal - okay
    Mulgrew - meh
    Commons - no show
    Ledley - meh
    Boerrigter - forgot he came on
    Pukki - who's he?

    I thought the whole defense were outstanding and just weren't helped out in any way shape or form by the midfield. That's always where the problem is in the big games in Europe. Commons, Sammy and Stokes never linked up.

    A solid midfield gets results away from home. Having Commons and Sammy out there cost us the game, after we made the subs, we could have lost more goals and that's the problem.

    We cannot change the midfield, because we don't sign good enough midfielders. It's not just a playmaker we need. I've been saying it for ages. We are far too reliant on Commons and Sammy and you can't go into these games with guys who lose the ball.

    Wasted our money on Pukki and Boerrigter imo. Should've spent it on Finnbogason.

    I think you're being quite harsh on Mulgrew and Ambrose.

    Probably generous to Izaguirre.

    Lustig is an absolute star by the way, playing injured and he was fantastic.

    Really poor performance no creativity whatsoever going forward you would think we were already through judging by how little effort we put in. Agree that Van Dijk and Lustig were great.

    * * Lenny's tactics were shocking, Lenny subs were shocking not sure how Sammy stayed on so long, Commons was clearly unfit!! Some players showed no passion at all and didn't play well...Van Dijk, Forester and Lustig were superb thought Stokes played well and shouldn't have been taking off...

    didnt think we were too bad 2nd half in all honesty

    1st half we were just frustrating them and keeping everyone behind the ball we

    after they scored we upped our pace and forrest showed some nice touches

    not having the the possitive samaras we have being getting used to seeing for quite a while was the biggest factor in us not having better opportunities

    ofcourse not having a goal scorer while playing in the champions league is ridiculous

    Well to be honest this season can be over very shortly. There is no Rangers so the league must and probably will be ours (but who knows as we are not even comfortable in it). We are out of Europe and out of the League Cup. Only thing missing is a defeat to Hearts in the Scottish Cup and the season is done.

    Since last year everyone has been shouting out for a creative player.

    injured or not Commons is not good enough, fact

    I actually feel sorry for Lustig, Van Dijk and FF for having to be part of that *.
