  1. He was excellent at taking the ball in situations where he had 2-3 players around him and keeping possession for us, holding the ball up allowing others to get into position which was critical.
  2. I am starting to think this team needs to play big guns to be up for it. This will be a tough tie for us. Will be interesting to see the lad play we were interested in. Ivancic was it?
  3. Doesnt look fit and hasnt done so for a year or so now. Going to the euros injured was a bad idea. Needs a full through medical imo. Just doesnt look on it. Looks to have lost a bit of zip.
  4. Maybe, but then someone else might be able to acquire that debt for very little and earn it back to the long term detriment of Chelsea. Business is business. Not sure how any sanctions against a large debt would affect FFP too. All very tricky. I suspect the UKGOV, UEFA and the FA will choose the path of least resistance and do nothing.
  5. Like Putin he has seen all this coming. Chelsea owe him 1.5 billion. If they are taken off him they are in big trouble.
  6. Yes. They should either be kicked out, or allowed to continue to participate with no home games and no prize money.
  7. I went for Kent as he was robbed of a certain goal by a blind Spanish ref.
  8. Gutted we cant draw any of the Spanish teams. Always a great away trip and can usually get home end tickets easily enough.
  9. Great performance from the team last night. A real game of two halves. First half we were not really in the game, done well to win the penalty a great piece of play by Kent who was brilliant over the 2 legs. But couldn't really get a hold of the ball and when BVB scored their second i was starting to fear the worst. Credit to the manager they changed the system at half time and it killed any attacking threat Dortmund had, there was just no space for them. Tav back to his terrific best last night, the second goal in particular started with a long ball to him, he had no right to bring it down and control it but he did and the rest is history. Those two legs are an indicator of what this team is capable of, similar to last seasons relentless form and highlights to me how some of this squad could be better focused on domestic competition. This BVB side are no mugs, packed full of 30 million players and one of the worlds top young players in Bellingham. he was superb over the two legs and I wouldn't be surprised to see him move to a top club in the summer for big, big money. But compare the performances of Malen to Morelos or Brandt to Kent and you can see the quality we have in our team. Enjoy the night and on to 3 points on Sunday.
  10. Still angry about the whole thing. Planned out by Murray, the bank and administrators. I bet they thought we'd get docked 25 points for the following season or something. They didn't bank on hate. Opportunists took it as a chance to keep us down for years and get a free run at trophies, European tv money etc.
  11. BTW - that goal from Arfield that was chopped off (wrongly imo) for offside. What a finish!😍
  12. Fredo, but need to praise Lundstram for his performance.
  13. i was against it but I'm starting to think the same. I'd be tempted to give Sands a run out at CB. I don't think he is the type of midfielder we need. He looks very much a CB playing in midfield. Also rumour is hearts wanted a sell on fee which was the deal breaker. They wanted a kings ransom for Soutter but perhaps they knew we were running the risk of seeing out the season with 2 chocolate CB's that cant seem to stay fit.
  14. I am no expert but i presume they(RBS) have a very good youth team considering the conveyor belt of talent they have produced the past few years at senior level.
  15. Morelos, Lundstram and Kent were good today. Kent needs to improve his finishing and he would be top tier on a performance like yesterday. Not going to complain about the ref. He was utter garbage but that's standard these days. Felt we really missed Balogun when he went off. His aggressive aerial presence and tight man marking makes a big difference. Great aggressive attacking again from Morelos and Kent. Get the ball and go at the throat. Stone wall penalty from the challenge by McGinn. A fresh air swipe or a slide tackle and he had a good handful of Kents shirt. Not sure what the Hibs players were complaining about when it was awarded. Pleased Lundstram is really growing into a key part of the team. He really didn't start well with us, then i don't think he was helped with how he was asked to play in our midfield 3. If we persist with this current setup Jack and Lundstram sitting seems like a great match. We really need a leader from that position. Jack can do it but i want to see Lundstram do it too. A little disappointed in Aribo again. At real risk of losing his place to Ramsey who looked really hungry during his cameo. Barisic looks broken. Needs a thorough medical examination. He got injured about this time last year and never recovered. Went to the Euros injured and has never been the same since. We all laughed when Watford supposedly bid 2 million for him. But to be honest he doesn't look any better than a £2 million player at the moment.
  16. Then we need to raise ours even higher. Same with when Aberdeen are in front of us. Cant believe we have dropped 4 points to the worst Aberdeen team in over 10 years.
  17. After the stamp on his knee by Kipre of Motherwell at Ibrox the management team seemed to manage his game time 1 game on 1 game off.
  18. This was very noticeable. Also we had a striker who couldn't hold the ball up. Lowry looked to be playing wide which is a waste.
  19. I've been watching us for years mate I'm used to it. People always complain. Even when Smith was winning everything ahead of him. We need to be realistic about where we are now and what we need to do to compete. A big part of that will be playing a lot of players who are rough around the edges in the hope they improve and we sell them for profit. Bassey a prime example.
