DMAA

Enjoying this. I knew there would be goals here for us with Lowry, Ramsey and Amad in the team. We've looked pretty creative tbh. Delighted for Lowry to get that confidence boost. He is easily good enough to play for us.

Similar to Lowry, I've been disappointed he hasn't been used. We chucked the title in January and February with 4 draws against dross. We didn't mix it up throughout that period and I think Lowry and Diallo had something to offer and might have just provided us with the creativity we needed. With regards to next season, not a bad option but there may be better ones out there. We haven't won the recruitment battle the past couple of windows and we need to win the next one.

That's true, but the team definitely won't be complacent. Frankfurt's league form isn't reflective of their quality. They start next season 21st in the club coefficient. That is a very high ranking considering qualification via the Bundesliga isn't a guarantee every season like it is for us.

Good to see us winning these games without much effort. Great to see Lowry getting minutes too. He should be used in the final if we need a goal.

Lowrie is good enough to have played far more often this season. He has the flair and creativity we often lacked to turn draws into wins.

An argument could be made for half the team but I’ve gone for Bassey. I initially thought we were getting off with playing him at centre back and he'd get caught out by better opposition. He has performed better and better as the level of opposition has risen.

Agree. He does frustrate me at times, he's looser in possession than most. And yet he single handedly created a great chance eary at a time when we weren't creating much, and obviously got an assist. I'd have started Sakala ahead of him, but Wright did his bit.

Yes, that's where the real revenue is. Prize money is a bit skewed by your 10 year coefficient. Celtic had a big prize money headstart on us because of it. The good news is that our success now will benefit us for years to come with the 10 year coefficient money.

£15.5m euros in prize money I think. Celtic got £8m so it's not a massive gap, we need to win for that.

Lots of players deserve praise for last night but I think Sakala deserves a mention. I thought he was very good. Many have questioned his ability to play centre forward and hold up the ball. He did that as well as cause them headaches with his pace, I thought he was very good. I thought he should have started both games, but he more than did his bit off the bench.

What a night. Absolutely incredible.

They are head and shoulders above Braga.

Excellent performance and well done to GVB for getting almost everything right. He set up exactly the right way. I would quibble with keeping Wright on so long, and then the same for Aribo. But those are minor complaints in the grand scheme of things. All to play for.

Leipzig have been the best team in the Bundesliga in the past while. They are top of the form table going back as far as the last 13 games. They are top for GD throughout that period. Seems their position in the Bundesliga doesn't reflect how good they are at the moment.

We are in a European semi-final!!

A 90 minutes that perfectly sums up this season. Fantastic European performance undermined by the lack of bottle that cost us the league.

More end product from Barisic though and we need goals.

Easiest vote of the season

I miss the days when a striker’s main job was to score goals. It has been a big missed opportunity having our best goalscorer on the bench, he should have played alongside Morelos far more in recent months. Lack of goals in our front 3 has cost us again this season imo. Celtic 1st choice striker got a hat trick on his debut and had been the most clinical striker in the league pre-injury (120 mpg), their 2nd choice striker has two hat tricks to his name and now has the best goalscoring rate (90 mpg) Roofe has 100 mpg but that's with several penalties. Morelos is 7th in the league on 193 mpg. Kent has 2 league goals this season so is on 995 mpg. Compare that to Abada on 205 mpg or even 261 mpg for Jota. I believe it's primarily what has cost us and it has been my worry for a long time. The difference between us at the moment in the league is that they have turned 3 draws into wins. It isn't just a mentality thing, they signed players who have a knack for finishing and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Their scout reports showed exactly that by the way. Anyway, onwards to Thursday.

We've been so poor in this final third I don't see why Diallo doesn’t get a chance. It would have been a bit of a free hit as we were doing nothing anyway, and he does have the ability to create something.

Rudderless. No style of play whatsoever.

Very poor. I still think we badly miss a fully fit Helander. But offensively we just offer so little. They must be thinking this side don't look any better than lower mid-table in Portugal.

Yeh not the best performance but what an achievement to reach this stage. Well done to everyone. I’d like to see Roofe get more opportunities, I’m not sure why he’s had so few.

Good to see subs being used. With Morelos on a yellow we should be looking to use Roofe or Sakala too.

The forward players have all been very wasteful again. But again this is crazy, we are wide open and why? We know 3-5-2 works and stops that.
