The Conference League is the superior European competition anyway...

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Unless we nick it... )

If you’re going to keep on leaving someone unmarked at the back post then you either need to accept you will lose lots of avoidable goals or you need to get a fullback who knows what he’s doing. Both of the goals conceded and another 3 or 4 crosses that should have been converted merely remind us of a defensive weakness that has dogged us for years.

Lundstram having another great game.  Sima, Dessers and MacAusland all doing good things up front.

 

I think we'll lose because they have some very good forwards and our defence looks suspect.

Agreed on Lundstram, Dessers etc. Cifuentes also has done well. There's a player there IMO. He just needs to believe it.

Imagine what we could do if we were playing with 11 men, because with Lammers playing we only have 10 playing. 🤬

Very impressed so far. We look dangerous and dare I say it, we look like a team. Real Madrid were here at the weekend and could only draw. This is a really good team IMO. We just need to hang in there to give ourselves a chance. 

 

PS. Birmančević must be worth a shout. Just scored another 2 for Sparta. 

Very good point and I think we need to remember that we are up against a very good team with class players.

Good game, good goals, we just need to keep up our tempo. We can win this although they are very good on the attack, but we have shown they can be got at.

I think he's been OK 

[Gonzo79 15,152]

The likes of Isco and Perez are definitely a higher level than anything we have.

Something we seem to forget all too quickly. Let's not also forget, a team placed a few positions above Betis took 6 off Brenda's mob recently.

Lammars has been shit this season but fair play to him tonight. He's been decent.
