    What? The same Ncham that cost us a goal last week? Behave.
    We can all if, what and but ourselves up our own * but bottom line is we could have sent another team out there and still lost. We will never know.

    It's natural that in defeat we look at players who never played, but in all honesty i don't think he would've made much of a difference tonight, our defence was a shambles and too many players either hid or just never showed up, it's such a pity after all the good work done in the group that enabled us to play this tie.

    He offers protection to the defence when he plays with Brown, he can score and he is an unsung hero in our team, l think we missed him.

    We had enough in that team to win , we never took our many chances ( over both legs ) and got punished by stupid mistakes, rolled in with wrong formation it wouldn't matter.

    We needed a whole midfield to be honest.

    This. Christie brings pace and energy that Ntcham can’t, a lot more creative as well.

    People just never seem to learn with this either . When Ntcham plays in with Brown and McGregor we control football matches . When he's not in there we struggle , particularly against better sides.

    Never been a big fan of Ntcham due to his inconsistency but I do agree. Rogic playing forces us to play with a number 10 which doesn't suit us in European games. Ntcham is good at playing box-to-box and shift the balance of the team to more of a 4-3-3 giving us a bit more stability imo.

    The biggest letdowns in midfield were Brown and CM so would have made no difference as they would have still played.

    Brown shouldn't have been played, but not fit and CM needs moved up the park in Europe, and him and brown play too deep and just cause problems for our cbs. The we grt away with it in Scotland, so like we do for the best part with the * paddy stuff, we but not in Europe and even against Zombies now.

    He also was the cause of the goal in game1 trying the slowmo replay spin only to * it.

    You win some you loose some. We dominated until sumo * it. These things happen.

    We most certainly did miss N'tcham tonight. Was his type of match.

    Disagree, don't think we missed him. Think when he and Broony are in the midfield the creativity usually drops

    We seem to struggle any time he doesnt play...Christie in there we don't control football games anywhere near the same manner.
