    TBH I'm quite happy with that, Shakhtar are a decent team who recently destroyed a top German team. A couple of seasons ago I reckon we would have lost that but taking away points from a good side is a good result to me.

    Tbf it wasn't patter. Was a bit of tongue in cheek though.

    @The Thumb is right.

    He wouldn't be right if Ange hadn't dragged us to where we are now though.

    True everyone understand what the managers doing the players are just not putting it in the net and it’s costing us

    We won't play much better than that away from home in the CL, dominated the majority of that game creating chance after chance, gutted not to take 3 points from that but we are progressing very, very well at this level under Ange and will continue to improve even further, the players will become a lot more clinical the more they adapt to this level too

    He will have them improved a bit but we can definitely get at that defence. More than capable.

    Can tell who's pished. Sober you will see the positives. 2/3 toughest fixtures could be out the way, depending on how Rose appointment affects RB.

    Just think it's disappointment, which we all feel.

    We really should be sitting second in this group.

    What’s everybody’s opinions on group standings? The amount of boys I’ve heard saying we should be aiming for 3rd so we can get Europa league annoys me. Why aim lower? We’re more than capable of qualifying from the group then a lucky draw in the knock outs who knows. Obviously I’m not saying we’d then go on a run in the champs league but surely aiming for 3rd in the group is a defeatist view to have?

    Poor finishing, good point to start the tally. Need some goals for the next 3 games.

    Agree but some people are blowing it out of proportion.

    100% agree that we should have been aiming for CL and that aiming for 3rd is defeatist. However, after tonight I think realistically we're playing for 3rd. We should try and win every game up until the last 16 is out of sight, but I think in the end we'll be hanging on for Europa.

    Absolutely, and against a team that beat Leipzig in Germany 4-1 at that. But the disappointment for me is that we had them, they were there for the taking. They didn't have an answer to us at the start of the first half until we started slowing the game down and inviting them on to us. It's not like we weren't creating chances so had to get them to push up to create some space. Had we just stuck to what we were doing I'm sure we go on to win by at least a couple, so I don't get why we changed what we were doing. It made no sense at the time as it's not that their play pushed us back, we just moved back, and then couldn't really raise the tempo again when things started to go against us and get back to the earlier passing game. Hopefully it doesn't cost us in the long run.

    If that’s what transpires then so be it but aiming for 3rd baffles me. “It’s our level” nonsense. You’re not even guaranteed Europa league with the teams that end up in it.

    I think we’ll definitely beat them at home. We’ve a great chance to nick a point away to Madrid (last game of group, they should already be guaranteed top). It’ll go down to the head to heads with RB I reckon.
