    We could have played 6-4-0 the other night and we wouldn't have kept PSG at bay.

    I think we have to first ask ourselves ,are we a europa cup team playing in cl ,do we accept that's our level and be happy with that .
    Do we try to break the mould being set which clearly shows pot 1 against pot 4 teams 20 + goals scored against 0 conceeded.
    I don't think our manager is the type to accept that there is a level we will never reach ,if we look at Astana game we showed we were voulnerable in defence ,so by all accounts psg are a better side and we were gonna conceed a few again .
    We obviously need a better defence and should use away friendlies to perfect a compact system for counter attacking ,we have players who are dangerous in the final 3rd we just struggled to get them in those positions ,looking at the psg game ,they looked like they were never under pressure and made the ball work for them .
    We definitely struggled through inexperience and being made to work so hard to get anywhere ,we will get better and learn how to play these teams on their own merit ,we all want to attack every team we play and I love to see that in away games ,but when playing the elite teams we should frustrate and get their fans on their backs .
    We done better playing defensive football under lenny and wee gord getting to the last 16 ,ok the game has changed even more now but I'm saying make them have to work to get anything , after 10 mins in a game we should know if we can press and attack or sit deep and deny them space .be adaptable to all situations .

    If we accept that we will get nothing from the game, then surely we should look at damage limitation, in the first half we made it so easy for them, i know Brendan likes to play a certain style, but against the very top teams maybe he could have a plan b, heavy scorelines of that nature cannot be good for the players.

    It's going to happen to us every season in the CL. We are between a rock and hard place as far as finances are concerned. I don't feel embarrassed by these scores, but I agree about damage limitation. But for now we are a product of our own surroundings.

    Well after this afternoon, I hope Watford are kicked out of the Premier League in England ........... Absolutely disgraceful that a team could get thrashed 0-6, at home, in a league game.




    ;) You see guys and gals. It can happen in any competition, especially with the disparity in ability caused by the financial muscle of some teams. If one team is a little off form, and the other team is bang at it.
