    We are the better team , middle to front certainly with all the pressure we had if we had Dembele' last night with Edouard game would have been 3-1 us , but it's hard to be confident with 2 rookies at back going over there to defend especially if we score early then it might need a backs to the wall type performance and try hit on the counter.

    No, our fault fot not getting a centreback in serves us right for thinking we will just walk through these teams

    Dembele will play. He'll risk him imo it's that important.

    We didn't play that badly though and on another day we'd have won by a couple of goals. We're more than capable of beating AEK. I've no doubt about that. I think it'll be tough but fs. The mood in here has been depressing af the past few days.

    We caught them cold for half hour or so and then shat the bed. Looked utterly clueless and devoid of idea's..

    We do have a chance. I'll never say we're out...but we're out..

    The doom and gloom is because we knew the problems well before the game and have done fuckall about it..

    No quality in bar Edouard and it's probably gonna cost us a Champions League place. The manager is unhappy. Talk of unrest (which I believe) between board and Brendan..

    Getting knocked back off Hibs player's and Liverpool loan's..

    Heart says yes but my head says no.

    If we had some quality at the back I would say 100% yes but we have dropped the ball this season.

    said it before the first leg and ill say it again before the second leg

    If we think we can take on CL quality teams with that defence then we have NO * CHANCE

    From middle to front we are streets ahead of AEK, but the farcical defence and keeper is just one tragedy after another

    I actually thought they were very comfortable, for the most part.. we needed to come out and do them in the first 30mins.. but they grew in composure and confidence.. and as most on here who knew a bit about them(me not one) were right in how composed and defensively strong they were..

    It going to take a massive performance and will need a bit of luck too..

    Anything is possible but I don't see it happening. I've seen so many of these ties where the 2nd leg is nothing like the first. I think they've got a bit more than they showed at parkhead and they'll do enough to see it through. If we can dominate the game again though, there's a chance.

    Ya see, this is what its come to.

    This is how far the defensive rot has set in

    Calling for * Boyata and Gamboa to start

    Whilst i totally agree, its a sign of how well and truly * we are at the back

    I actually feel like * crying

    We never seems to spend money even when we make the champions league all the millions the last few seasons ,so what's the big deal if we get there or not anyway ? it's always a case of make do and mend , or if we sell a first team player like Armstrong we might be able to bring someone in such as edouard.

    Moussa and Boyota back be a boost. Gamboa too for running up and down the wings.
