Brendan either needs to change his “philosophy” against the big teams or buy players who are capable of delivering it. We have shipped 7 in Europe twice under him. A truly terrible statistic. |

Said after the PSG at home we had the wrong team and needed Rogic in behind to fill up the space... shows how much I know. Edited by PatMcCourt, 22 Nov 2017, 11:25 PM.

Exactly sit in and get pumped anyway or let your players go out try and express themselves and develop. |

Painful to watch beat 7-0 by Barca then 7-1 by PSG open question Brendan what would you do different next season in the Group stages? Repeating the same mistakes is not a good enough excuse. |

Yes. It's all very well saying we need to stick with our philosophy in order to improve at this level, but we are never, ever going to compete with the likes of PSG so why not just go for damage-limitation in those games and try to use our desired style in the other games? I love what BR has done with us. The fact remains that he has been in charge for our what, three worst European defeats ever? Maybe somebody will correct me on that, but it's embarrassing, no matter what else he has done. |

How can they express themselves when they don't have the ball? And losing 3 or 4-0 is to be expected; 5 and 7 is a riddy, just like 7 was last year, too. Edited by dannyclyro, 22 Nov 2017, 11:26 PM.

Aye, he'll need to buy better players because he ain't going to change his approach. |

A couple of centre backs (preferably one with experience) and a goalkeeper would go a very long way. |

That's what the manager believes, hence take it or leave it; there's no point greetin about it. If we buy better defenders we'll improve. We're not going to change our approach. |

100% correct. He does not need better players as you only look at international teams who are gash get get results against superior teams by a system that sets up not to get gubbed and try to sneak it or even damage limitation. We are playing in this group against 2 of the best 5 teams in european football so why he trys to go toe to toe and play a pressure game is beyond me and it seems most posters and pundits ( who have a clue that is) are the same. I posted earlier he is not beyond constructive criticism and he like any very good manager of course can change systems its whether he is to stubborn to do so. Thats 3 games now we have been right turned over and whilst by far superior teams i can understand..what i dont get is the manner of how we set up and how we play when we k ow we will get a doing playing the way we do. |

It takes more than 12 or 13 months to change a whole nations perspective on playing in Europe. I for one can't be arsed watching us with 11 behind the ball for 90mins. Sure 1 out of 10 we might sneak a draw or win but for the majority we are getting beaten anyway. The only way to learn is to play your game in the hardest of circumstances. Fans have no patience. |

Bizarre? Thought it was as honest account as the day is long. Got a bit narked by the question at the end of the interview and fair play to him for remaining composed with his answer. |

Hope he at least tries to address this, instead of putting it down to, say, the gulf in terms of wealth. As Remy says, change the philosophy. Or even change tactics at 4-1 down. He might have done, I wouldn't have known. Otherwise it will be same thing same time next year. |

Or improve the ones he has. Buying a centre half who can defend has nothing to do with changing his philosophy. |

Surely we can tighten up the defensive side of things without changing the philosophy. Some of the goals tonight were just about poor positioning and concentration. That can all be worked on without making major changes to the team structure and way of playing. |

That sounds good but the problem is there is no development showing *in these games*. We make the same terrible mistakes and show the same mental weaknesses. We've learned nothing from Barca away, Bayern away or the first game against Paris going on tonight's performance. |
