Andy I should have been drinking what you were drinking mate!! Must be good stuffA draw was fair. Although brugg did well first half they weren’t really a threat up front. Great goal from daizen.
Brendan keeps starting with Engles then has to hook him??surley to fuck he’s aware how poor the young guys been?it’s not a witch hunt?it’s just blindingly obvious the guys not settled yet so take him out the firing line100% Lubo, Paulo must be frustrated AF, watching from the bench every game. Jamesie offered some calmness when he came on. Luke McCowan deserves a crack at the starting 11 as well. A huge price tag does not guarantee a win every week, the game seems to pass some players by, but hopefully we get it sorted for our next game. HH
100% on Engels. Give the boy a break and give Bernardo what he’s earned.Brendan keeps starting with Engles then has to hook him??surley to fuck he’s aware how poor the young guys been?it’s not a witch hunt?it’s just blindingly obvious the guys not settled yet so take him out the firing linefor his benefit and the teams,,Luke mccowan and Bernardo haven’t let us down when called on,,,,,and you can stick that international break right up yir hole
we’ve no looked ourselves so far…
Went to plan B.It's easy to make statements after the event. It doesn't mean that they are true - although you are entitled to your opinion.
It is a decent point. Some players didn't perform to their full capability, but there are very few matches where everyone does.
I'd leave it to the guy that's paid millions a year to pick the team. He spends more time with them and understands how they tick. It seems to work well most of the time.
If we'd taken the 1pt from Leipzig and 3 tonight we'd all be very happy indeed.Good game, draw probably a fair result as they were better in first half, we were better in the second. The team looked spooked by their high press and couldn't get the ball out and get meaningful possession during first half. As a result everything went slow and safe so we created little and the o.g. came from Kuhn running back 30 yards with ball before passing back to CCV under pressure on the edge of the box.
Second half a lot better, Daizen causing their centre half all sorts of problems with his mad pressing.
Trusty our MOTM for me, Engels looks like he needs a break for a couple of games and Taylor yet again proving he is nowhere close to being good enough at this level. Valle not great either but still a lot better than GT.
8 points from 5 games is a return that would have been more than acceptable to the vast majority before we started.
We should be going to Zagreb confident we can get an away win.
To be fair, there were many posts on here before the match pointing out that Engels should be a sub as Bernardo has been playing to a much higher standard recently. Taylor has also looked a bit out of sorts, too, and Valle has offered much more.It's easy to make statements after the event.

Absolutely. Seen us collapse enough in recent years to appreciate taking something when not at our bestStill on my way back from the game ....have to pleased to take a point from that poor performance.
Flat both on the park and in the stands.
They stopped us on both flanks and our midfield 3 were non existent. Valle and Bernardo made a difference. I'll settle for not losing. One loss in five ain't too bad .
Engels was at this level v Leipzig, v Atalanta, v Slovan, he's a 21 year old Belgian international who has come from a league far better than ours, he's having a bad few games, it happens.Listen we can all BS about what we know about football as AVID fans....
But BR is meant to understand that a child like ENGELS is NOT ready for this level....
And don't get me started about his corners......
Paulo Bernardo changed the game in midfield .....
How did RODGERS not know ......????
I like Brendan but surely ........
