    As long as that's enough to get through. Then we've got jota back, AJ fully back... Big new striker/naechance back... final here we go.

    To simplify the fans ambition to the board i think we should aim to win the Europe League, and i think that is achieveable in all honesty with realistic investment.

    To be a competetive CL team is the aim but that would make us just that with having the above ambition.

    All depends on who we face but if you look at it, should we be able to compete and even win against that Tottenham side last year with the form and quality we had last year? Absolutely.

    We need to support the team in europe to reach european success as well imo.

    I think this ambition would make is harder for the board to use the excuse of "We cant compete in the CL". There is no reason why a club like us should not be able to win the EL and be a top team in it.

    Sorry if i spell very bad here lol. Many words i rarely type in english

    Watching that Sporting and Kairt highlights just shows how easy it was to break them down with competency in the final third.

    Yeah as I thought Kairat will get exposed for what they actually are. Pish. Should of been loads more as well. Still a calamity for me that we didn't get passed them regardless of squad issues at the time.

    It was poor but as above I think the lack of any sort of creativity up front was the downfall.

    They didn't get a shot on target against us over 2 legs. Its not as if they threatened.

    We were just powderpuff up top. Aye we should have found a way but Yang and Forrest and Maeda with a foot out the door isn't a good recipe.

    Just leave me to never let it go in peace please :56:

    Yeah I'm just being arrogant and bitter to be honest I know there were factors in it but it all circles to the debates I was having at the time about Rodgers having to take a portion of the blame for that tie. I'm sad as * so at work I rewatched our home leg and we were so flat. There was zero urgency from the 1st minute to the 90th and that boils down to the manager for me.

    I will move on eventually although I did say to my old man that they will be the worst ever side to compete in the champions league.

    I agree with that, although we do have 3 of the same teams we both play. Bologna will be difficult

    They're not pish... Show a bit of respect! They're a bog-standard, well organised, hardworking team with mid-level ability... Definitely not CL standard... They gave all they had against us and we punched down to their level and got caught. The other CL teams won't mess up the basics like we did, so they'll all turn them over...

    No shame on Kairat to get beaten soundly at this level, because it's a great achievement for them to be there at all... But, if any of those teams take it too lightly and go to sleep like we did then Kairat might surprise them too... Doubtful, but possible...

    Another reminder our ranking of 58th is awful for a regular CL team (right beside Victoria Plzen and Ferncvaros)

    Think we will get a few pumpings and worry where the goals will come from.
