[tomasjj]

ah, they just want to time-waste
dicks

 

[FoxForceFive]

He vaulted into the crowd there, it was blatant.

 

[HC]

Robbo loves a cheeky push into the hoardings

 

[SummerOnions]

Ox is never banging in last minute winner, no chance

 

[CT_LFC]

Completely unnecessary push from Robbo.

 

[Shay_K]

Yellow for Robbo

 

[Treboeth]

Feisty Scottish Terrier strikes again

 

[FoxForceFive]

Free kick. Ace.

 

[HC]

Freekick in a good area

 

[Raz]

Not an awful lot to be said about Shaqiri, Origi and Lallana sat on bench when we really need a goal.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Poor free kick that

 

[HC]

Boo

 

[MomoWASright]

FFS FT

 

[CT_LFC]

That was a pretty piss poor free kick. Yikes.

 

[FoxForceFive]

FT. Ah well.

 

[Treboeth]

Aaah well we didn't lose.

 

[HC]

Heyho all to play for

 

[Bradley]

Only highlight was my prediction of a Lovern goal, as it happened.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Could have been worse. I hate playing Napoli. I'm not at all convinced playing TAA from the start would have helped tbh, their defence loves dealing with crosses, they're boss at it.

 

[Modo]

Well I guess we can't rest anyone against Salzburg...great. I guess it isn't how we do things in the CL.

 

[Markeh]

Be happy to never see Napoli again

 

[tombrown]

Aaah well we didn't lose.

No real difference between drawing and losing today

 

[HC]

I always take solace after distinctly average performances like that we should be infinitely better the next time out

We never play well against Napoli, it has zero bearing on how we'll pay against anyone else.

 

[Pesam]

It won't be easy, Salzburg are dangerous but if we don't avoid defeat over there we don't deserve to qualify and can have no complaints.

I fucking hate the shit house cunts. Both the team and fans.

 

[Farkmaster]

Individually Napoli have our number a bit but we still should have put one opportunity away. We've won many games this season with worse performances than that.

Some really wasteful crosses in this game, lack of depth at fullback, and some subpar forward play really had an impact.

 

[FoxForceFive]

*they're

I corrected it. Cheers for recording my error for posterity though, appreciated [emoji6]

 

[Hansern]

Which is why it was a bit weird that we hit those floating crosses into the box..

 

[ibromurph]

That ref killed all of our pressing game, but it does go to show how much creativity we lack without TAA.

Also, a midfield of Hendo and Milner was never going to create much going forward. Too slow and ponderous.

I feel like if we're not going to play the crossing game (and Trent is benched), we need CMs that can take people on in the centre and drive with the ball.

Ox should have started in the centre. (even though he didn't really impress when he came on).
