les186 271 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Disappointing. If only Grezda had taken that final chance (I would have slotted it in?). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Coulibally and the two fullbacks struggled a bit tonight and seemed strangely flat but all in all a decent result and another step up the learning curve for a new team. MOTM for me was between Kent, Worral and Jack. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 It’s difficult to objectively define this. We got an amazing result away to a fine Spanish side, then beat a very poor Austrian one with some determination. Tonight I think two mediocre Europa sides battled it out. It’s a lot better than where we were a year ago, but it’s disapponting that we lacked the tenacious fire that I know we’re capable of. i predicted we would struggle tonight though. Regardless of their league positions, Spartak are filled with internationalists from decent nations. They are no mugs. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,145 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Jack is such a good player to have in these games and I was disappointed he went off but perhaps he was feeling it after a few weeks out. Coulibaly hasn't been the same player at all after his injury and needs to up his game when on the ball. Like Toral, Hyndman and Goss, I hope he's not another midfielder that looks good initially then quickly falls away. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 SG has just said it could prove to be a valuable point come at end of the day, I tend to agree with that, Spartak are a good side and we continue to improve. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just compare it to last season in Europe ☺️. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,494 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Blom is a hopeless referee. I think he should be called MacBlom. He gave a decision once that knocked Scotland out of a big tournament. I can't remember it exactly just that it happened. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my view he certainly let them away with a lot while booking ours for relatively minor transgressions. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did shout for a penalty when Gresda went down, IMO he clearly touched the ball first and there was contact on him, although it might have been soft 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Just didnt have that cutting edge in the final third but overall its still mass progress to be sitting top of the group at the half way stage in a group that doesnt have a easy team at all. I think we can go to Moscow and come away with a point and that sets up Villareal at Ibrox nicely. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
