    Anyway, I don't mind that this happened in this game, rather this one than a league game.

    Now back to the league and 3 points on Sunday.
    The international break couldn't come at a better time.

    Wére better off out of this anyway I reckon , Fair enough if we were qualified with 2 games to go but now We've to kill ourselves to win two more games and we still might not qualify I'd rather we concentrated on our title challenge now

    I think mathematically there is still a chance, but I get what you mean

    It seems in this thread there's a quitness when we're winning and now i know why people are busy gnashing there teeth and sharpening there knives for when we do eventually not win a game , just think again for a second we've lost once in the premiership since the west ham game

    We have Gabriel who's meant to be our next hope at CB and Debuchy who was first choice a few months ago. Other than that we have one other position without our 1st choice player. We're missing back-up but we've 8/11 first XI out there with direct back-ups fir 2 pt them. The team out there shouldn't be getting mauled like this.

    Very poor tonight. All I will say is that against Bayern/Barca/Madrid you need your best players to be at their very best to stay in the game.

    Gabriel is arguably culpable for the first. You would need Kos on the pitch at his best to cut that out. For the second I think Debuchy needs to be better with his touch. Can't blame Mert for it too much.

    Of course you need players to come in and do a job but against the likes of the top top teams you need no mistakes and ride your luck a little and stay in the game like two weeks ago.

    3 of those are nailed on starting 11. Yes it's bad but this happens every single season so surely to Christ we should have replacements who can come on and die in their boots (that's for efb!) and make an impression.

    I appreciate its Bayern but if we want to dine at the top table these are the opportunities we should relish.

    5-1. Worst ever CL defeat.

    Ozil was at fault for that goal. A brilliant ball was played into him at the edge of their box and he just turned his back to it because he had already given up. I don't normally criticize Ozil because of all the good he gives the team, but he deserves to be called out over that.

    That bayern goal typifies us tonight, ozil turns his arse to it and bayern go down and score.
    Will take a very good team to beat munich in the knockout stages

    Take Joel Campbell for instance he's bloody 3rd choice Gabriel is Per's replacement not Kos's but yes i agree he should be good enough to step in

    Debuchy i'll give a little more slack because he's had hardly any game time this season and then to have to come in against Douglas Costa is a massive ask

    Nope, we have to hope Bayern beat them at home (which will happen) and we beat them by 2 goals at their place, which is possible. So no not yet.

    We have to beat Zagreb firstly.

    We should beat both of those sides in the last 2 games and you can bet Bayern will rattle both of them aswell

    Stupid post comeing in, but how are Arsenal out? If they win their last two games and Olhypiacos lsoe there's, doens;;t it do down to head-to-head? Better the result olympiakos beat you in and you're clear, no?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Olympiakos away will be a very tough game, especially if we're going out there without our strongest team

    Better second half performance, but Bayern did take the foot off the pedal. They are something else at home.

    Ozil, Giroud and Cech can hold their heads high. Coq gave it a go too.

    But without Kos in the back we look a totally different team. I hope this doesn't knock their confidence going into the NLD this Sunday, that's my big worry. I also hope Bellerin and Kos are back cause if not we're in trouble.

    I can't wait for the International break so we can get back Theo, Ox and Ramsey. We are looking very thread bare right now.
