    Ok paddy. Answer this.

    When was the last time we played Zonal marking in a imprtant cup game and what did happen? (Before this game)

    Lennon did it again today, and guess what? We got pumped.

    Exactly, as luck was on our side (I.e Karagandy hitting the bar at CP which certainly would have put us out)

    Were you happy with the performance in them games?

    The CL is where its happening. If the cup was so important to everyone why no full house? Obviously fans place very little importance on the cup.

    Well, if those are the teams we are competing with - I'd say we should expect to qualify.

    Being unbeaten will be good if we achieve it but ultimately it has no tangible reward, there is no cup or trophy awarded for being unbeaten.

    What the rest of the season does hold for us is to bed in our new players, lets get griffiths starting week in week out, lets get johansen and biton getting regular game time.

    Lets get Boerrigter some game time in his position on the left.

    Samaras should not start another game till either he has signed a contract or until the last game of the season when we can give him his farewell which he does deserve.

    Lets get back to a 3 in midfield, switch boerrigter and forrest around, give them both game time in their natural positions, lets get a partnership up front sorted, commons in behind someone or a front two of balde and griffiths or balde and pukki.

    It's a soar one to take. Getting beat is fine because no-team is unbeatable but we got absolutely ripped apart today when we were in a great position to go on and take 3 or 3 off that mob.
    Tactics, tactics, tactics.

    When those teams are our competition that isn't arrogance. Don't you think we should be beating Karagandy et al, don't make me laugh and say that should be a hard task for us.

    Ya we should be winning trebles but you do know anything can happen in the cup? Shock results happen all over the world,that's the beauty of the cup.Lennon's achievement in Europe more than makes up for the cup

    Bang on that.

    Also, Sammy should be nowhere near the team for the rest of the season if he isn't going to be here.

    There was no tangible reward for whitewash over the huns but it made it no less sweet. If the cup was so important why no support.

    Karagandy rode their luck against us. We hit the bar in Astana and their keeper was outstanding over the two legs. Have you conveniently forgot that aye ?

    Who will take his place? Who will do any better?

    Will Jackie McNamara do any better? Really, think about that.

    What sort of calibre do we think we can get nowadays?

    Lennon is still a good manager, ironing out the creases.

    He was given a chance and hooked after 60mins when the management seen he was not going to make a difference.

    How was that not the right move? Considering he set up the first goal, there's hardly scope to have a go at them for picking him in the first place.

    I would now have Boeriggter ahead of him in the selection EVERY game from now on.

    Another one who lacks ambition and thinks that winning the league - playing awful football - while being pumped out of the cups and CL is an achievement

    Seems quite the opposite. We have regressed this season.

    I mean in his own ability. I mean we are his first real managerial role.
