What's really annoying is that we showed good fight for the first 60 minutes, the problem is that it isn't Gio's team that showed fight. It was a team that hasn't improved since 2019, and in fact it's been weakened in that time. For me it was really unacceptable to be starting a CL match this season with so many players from our 2019 squad. Its damning.

Honestly I think Kamara has always had a habit of giving the ball away in dangerous areas, really sloppy. I've been saying it since we signed him, it's the worst part of his play.

I don’t think it was a shocking display, I think it was most likely reffed pretty well, just that we had some misfortune really.

Whilst it was great to see some fight and passion tonight, it was absolutely damning that we started the game with 9 out of 11 players that have been with us in 2019. The team has absolutely been weakened this transfer window. Gio has presided over a team that blows hot and cold, I’m still feeling quite bleak.

Aw fucking hell Morelos

Aw fucking hell Barasic

Never take off Ryan Jack

McGregor, welcome back 🎩

What? Why the fuck should they get to retake it? What the fuck?

And that was brilliant by McGregor but what the fuck were the rest of the team doing? Just watching?

That was absolutely shocking from sands

Wow, I'd normally put money on Arfield to score that.

Amazing what a difference some passion and effort makes.

Weird way to make a point after saying he was happy with the transfer dealings.

Oh my god, we literally had 9 out of the 11 playing for us in 2019.

Holy shit, that team selection. Is that the state of the squad? Jesus. It feels like a team from the last decade. It probably is that actually.

Heh, I must admit I have little hope going into this game after the last two showings unfortunately. Hopefully I’m proven wrong.

My fear with this postponement is that we've already had the stats that this is the first time we've conceded 4 goals in two successive games since 1982, when was the last time we conceded 4 goals in 3 successive games? Napoli don't look like pushovers here...

His comments about not being able to compete are fecking haunting me. I keep hearing them in my head and seeing his emotionless face. It's such a completely defeatist attitude, really extraordinary. We should be going into any game with the understanding that it's 11 v 11 in the pitch and anything can happen, on our day we should be able to go toe to toe with anyone. Time is only making me more fecking angry about this.

Nonsense if you ask me, whatever you think about the monarchy she was 96 years old. There should be celebrations for reaching that age, instead the country is grinding to a halt when there is already economic strife. Forcing people to mourne is not the way. Ready to take my stoning.

Oh yeah, I agree. However, it's such a large outlay for us I wonder what the thinking was?

Jack is one of our top players if fit. I don't know what his fitness outlook is but a fit Jack adds a solidity to our team that no other player does.

I don't think there is any relativity when it comes to effort. Effort is expected, winning is not. We can enjoy the CL if we see our team trying their best and not winning, it's hard to enjoy watching a team that can't be bothered running and look like headless chickens, and a manager that gives up after the first game.

Why did we spend such a huge outlay on a LB that isn't playing? Such a weird signing, imagine where that money could have been spent. Was that Gio asking for the player?

I don't think people are concerned about losing a game in the CL, it's that the team and the management haven't bothered their arse to even give it a go.
