    Aye, I know mate..

    We didn't play well and they looked poor, but would have taken this position, at this stage

    To be clear I said worst side we've played away in the CL group stage.
    Because as far as I can remember they are poorer than any of the others we faced. Hence they are the worst.

    A point was never a bad result. I’d have taken it before a ball was kicked. More so because we have Young Boys to follow and we really should be taking care of them. Had we been anywhere close to our best tonight we win though. I felt we were very slow and ponderous going forward. I don’t think the pitch helped, as it seemed very bobbly. The front 3 that started didn’t do anywhere near enough. Any time we went forward, the movement was awful. Again though, like the Brugge game, if you aren’t at your best, it’s imperative to still try and get something out the game, and we did.

    Also, I’d be taking a further look at their left back. Boy looked more than decent.

    When we are attempting to crawl out of this abyss of * results in Europe then a game like tonight when the opposition are poor and have a near 2nd string with half a stadium then we need to take advantage of that...we didnt.

    We now have to play for at least 3 or even 4 points now...

    We honestly created nothing and their striker missed an absolute sitter at the end of the first half.

    Folk forget just how bad some of the horror shows have been away from home in the CL. MON’s team lost in Anderlecht when they played for over an hour with 10 men. With a team consisting of Larsson, Hartson, Sutton, Petrov, Thompson, Lennon and Agathe. Winning away at this level isn’t easy.

    I’d still take him as left back. He looked very good defensively.

    Engels ball across to Idah was about to be rattled into the net before a superb challenge.

    They did not have any absolute sitters?

    It wasn’t a sitter. It was a half chance.

    Fair enough but there are no easy away games in the Champions league and there is no way of backing that statement up either

    That marvellous save by Schemeichel saved us a point, and that great block by the Zagreb defender on Idah denied us all three.

    All in all, an away point is not bad, as I don't think Hart would have made that save.

    Tbf when you’ve played your first 2 away games to last season, champions league finalists and last season Europa league winners, being the worst from that 3 is probably at least over half the team’s in the group

    Their defender made a good interception but it still wasn't a chance because said intervention was made and the ball didn't reach Idah?

    Their sttrker missed a cut back from 6 yards and CCV was no where near around the 43rd min, it was a sitter when they showed the replay from behind goal. And Pjaca's header, albeit a half chance, was the second best chance of the night.

    Pointing to a cross ball that was intercepted just highlights even more that we created * all.

    Pjaca's header was a half chance, the one their striker missed is a goal 9 times out of 10.

    Honestly watch the replay, their main striker had a free shot at goal from 6 yards out and he blasted wide. At the time it looked like CCV was putting pressure on him but the replay showed he wasn't close and any shot on target not directly at Schmeichel would've been a goal all day long.
