Did they say there was pyro in our end, during the game. Or did I imagine that?

 

Aye Rory the hun Hamilton couldn't get it out quick enough. Even had to pretend he was sighing at us at the back first half when really his high pitch squeal was because he was hoping Zagreb made something of it..

 

I can’t agree with them being worse than Slovan at all tbh. I’m frustrated we didn’t put them to the sword, and our quality in the final third was nowhere near good enough. But how many times have we all seen us overcommit, stop controlling games like that, slip on concentration and lose the game? It was a mature performance, and one this teams rapidly evolving into.

 

Any word on Johnston?

 

Rodgers said he should be fine.

 

Apart from a few moments of good football it was a disappointing display and left me with the feeling that it could have been so much better. It's not often in the recent past I've felt disappointed with a point away in Europe but think we missed a chance tonight.

 

For the umpteenth time, CL group stages away from home. If there are plenty then name them.

 

Think he thinks you're on about this campaign only.

 

I'm not gonna moan about the result but performance wise I was frustrated by the lack of movement and options for the man on the ball. So many just static and ball watching - not sure if down to fatigue or what but was surprised it wasn't improved from first half to second.

 

I think we played within ourselves tonight. Didn't seem to be committed to go and win the game. A draw is never a bad result but it's a game we will look back on and think we could have won.

 

Two teams more concerned about not losing than winning. We haven't actually been in great form recently and if we'd given them half the chances we gave Hibs we'd have lost so I suppose you can understand them being a bit cautious.
All comes down to the Young Boys game and I suppose we'd have taken that at the start. But we have to improve a bit on recent performances or we'll lose one of these times - hopefully not on Sunday or against YBs.

 

Think the problem.is that the Young Boys game is massive now, if we have some bad luck in that one, and lose it, we probably go out. If we had won against Brugge or Zagreb, that would likely have been job done. Feels like we're wasting opportunities, and that can come.back to bite you big time.

 

Bizarre mentality?

Show me a season where we collected 2 points away from home in a champions league campaign.

Dinamo are a point behind us. They're no pushovers. They have a player touted to go to PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc. They have history of selling to top teams. Do we?

Whatever way you slice it, we've vastly improved our points tally. That's progress. Did I want more? Yes. Could we have got more? Yes. But that doesn't mean that we start descending into hyperbolic nonsense, * and moaning with what we've achieved so far.

 

This is spot on how I feel. Look we could have put them to the sword and went for it, and that could lose use the game as well. The majority of the time we’ve all watched us away in Europe thats how it normally goes

 

Disappointing result after the game has passed, given they weren’t up to much. Is it 2 points dropped? Hard to say. I agree with Rodgers, both teams were just poor in the final third.

 

Aye a lot of folk looking at young boys game as a shoe in. A lot can happend in next 6 weeks. They may appoint a new manager and get an upturn in form or players who have chucked it at the moment end up trying like * to impress him, we may pick up injuries to key player over busy festive period. It's not a guarantee and I'd rather we stopped * about and got the points on the board. I know brugge were decent but whatever way you spin it, it's 4 points dropped.

I know it's all fantasy stuff but supercomputer has updated final standings and going by that we are on course for a play off tie v man city. An extra 2 points 2nyt and we'd be looking at a likely tie against feyenoord.

Scrapping thru isn't good enough, we should be aiming higher. Also getting to play off and then getting knocked out is still the equivalent of not making the last 16

 

Cheers mate that’s really kind of you to say. Honestly it’s not giving me any problems though. I’ve got to wait a few months for referral to surgery or something but I might just leave it. Was a horrible experience right enough.

 

I thought we were very poor all round and a better team would have punished us. Their defence did a good job though the left back, the French right back and the blonde guy who got injured. Thought Hatate was being bullied and hounded, maeda had the wrong game plan. In all nobody got pass marks in my opinion maybe Kasper for keeping a clean sheet but quite a disappointing result.
Hoping for a much better show on Sunday
