Bollox... just need to get a result against lyon.. Home and away and we are good as through... 4 minimum (assuming we beat debrecan of course)
 
I think we've looked less threatening since Aurelio moved to left back. He was beginning to ping the ball around nicely for a period there. Some of those diagonal balls were Alonsoesque.

Goal diff is irrelevant. It is all down to head to heads, so beat Fio by more than 2-0, beat Lyon home and away, and job is done.
 
Well done Fiorentina.

Just goes to show how much we need Mascher on the bigger games, especially away from from home. Rafa needs to find an answer before he leaves next summer.

Indeed. We certainly weren't at our best, but they were excellent tonight.

The next game against Lyon is a must win.

we had Masher against Spurs, same limp response
 
Whilst it may be fun to jump on rage (even if he does seem to post a lot only when we're shit), it doesnt change the fact that we were shit.

Anyway, it's 4.35 am.

Good night, or morning or whatever the fuck it is.

Once again: we weren't shit in the second half. And I doubt anyone finds it fun to deal with rage. We find it sad someone takes so much pleasure from the team doing poorly.

They seem to be back on form this year. Is Lisandro Lopes playing well for them ?

It didn't look like it on paper but we got a cunt of a group this year

[/quote]

Indeed it does. Anyone still quoting Lucas' 'successful tackles' stat might want to look at how many of those tackles follow him losing the ball.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not scapegoating, but it needs saying. Masher is vital on nights like this.

I could care less how well we played if we lost.

If I did, I'd watch Arsenal.

I'd rather a drab dull as shit 1-0 win for us even if the ball went in off Babel's tumescent cock.
 
Beat Lyon and Fiorentina at home and beat Debrecen away = 12pts.
Why does anyone think we wont qualify.
The nature of the group format means you can lose 2 maybe even 3 games and still qualify. We will easily qualify.

Well played la viola. Very good team performance. We were awful first half and the ref was a shocking old school homer.
Ah well. Onwards and upwards.
One game closer to Aquilani and Agger time.
 
couldn't have gone worse, that. we've piled the pressure on ourselves, and we'll pay for it in the league.

This is one of those random rubbish group stage European away nights that we have now and again, see Besiktas, Olympiakos, Monaco etc, not really that fussed, more concerned that we still look very shaky in defence going into Sunday's game.
 
the game was tailor made for the defenders to come forwards with the ball. the opposition had bodies behind the ball, were compact and were marking us tightly. the ONE time a defender came forwards we nearly scored. I know a defenders job is too defend but for fucks sake there was a SEA to run into yet the ball was going sides twenty times.

Dunno, I haven't seen them play this season, but their results are good.

And their home record in Europe is excellent.

It's bad news for us that Lyon beat Fiorentina in that first match - they could easily take three points off each other, which could end up meaning a three-way tie for first. Dangerous...

The press thought we had by far the toughest group too.

Didn't Lyon spend at least something like GBP30M+ in the Summer ?

Three teams could finish with 12pts in this group.

Play Stevie back there.   If Mascher doesn't play, we are just not good enough in that position without him.
 
another thing, reira should have started that game as yossi gave the fullback no protection whatsoever. maybe rafa is saving riera for the weekend because make no mistake chelsea we attempt to get at our fullbacks.
