Candeias is not the answer. He would not have made a difference today. I still would have kept him around, but didn't he want to leave?

The team selection was okay, I thought. I don't think Aribo is a forward/attacking midfielder, but there's always one poster saying he should be played there. Aribo just wasn't up for it, for me; I chalk it down to inexperience, as the lad's got talent. I was most annoyed at the performance, more than anything else. Too many players were incapable passing a simple ball.

Fair enough. I just didn't think we were outplayed, per se. We are, most definitely, better than that, though.

The whole performance has been unacceptable.

We have been awful, and lacked quality. However, I don't think we deserved to get beat.

Ugh.

I can't even fall back on blaming the Ref; he's been quite good, IMO.

I'm so annoyed. We're better than this. And, we're not even being out-played; they've done bugger all.

Aribo goes off.

Jones coming on.

Couple of good hard tackles, turn the marker inside out, then pass it straight out. Sums us up.

Morelos comes on; Defoe goes off.

Defoe's class, but I think he's getting out-muscled. Time for Morelos, I think.

It looks like a 4-2-3-1, from us.

There's more urgency now.

Ojo coming on, Kamara going off. I suspect Aribo will drop one back, Ojo taking his place.

I think I'd take Aribo off before Kamara.

It's quite a tight, even game, for the most part. And, we've not been at it. I want SG to give them a bollocking at Half-time and send them out fighting.

Aribo clattered Brown there; much better.

Aribo's not up for this; he keeps shirking challenges, and getting out-muscled. Kamara has been wasteful, but at least he looks up for it. Poor goal to concede. Too many mistakes creeping into our game today.

@pete !!

Porto will walk it, but the others could take points off each other, giving us a chance of progressing.

Group G: FC Porto, BSC Young Boys, Feyenoord, RANGERS FC.
