Not at all. I understand the difficulty of the job they have though. He needs to address the areas of the park that we are weak . Edited by Flawless, 24 Nov 2017, 02:52 PM.

If his point is that we have better players now, but that top teams are now beating us by 7 instead of 2 or 3, what does it matter what the result was against Molde? His main point seems to be that as a minimum, you should be difficult to break down and Lenny etc. seemed to achieve that better than BR is doing so far. |

It's not his point that I have an issue with. Of course he's right that we shouldn't be getting battered by 7. Obviously that is correct. It's the w§y he says it as if in his day that sort of thing never happened. AS others have said, the Barca result was the exception that proved the rule while Commons was playing. We were atrocious in Europe for much of his time. If it's big Sutton saying it, or Henrik, or Thommo then I'd say "alright fair enough, they had more than enough successes to cancel out the bad ones." But not Commons. |

Hoof the ball up the park? Posession is key, launching it up the pitch does nothing to stop the inevitable. Give it away don't get it back. If the solution is to be some British side from yesteryear who play kick and rush then would rather not bother. Edited by puroresu_boy, 24 Nov 2017, 03:11 PM.

Possession is key when you have players who are capable - we don't |

We need an experienced defender or two. Also need someone anchored in front of the defence against higher calibre opposition. Getting hit for 4 , 5 and seven isn't on. Park our bus and counter attack. |

We don't have to launch it but we are giving away a lot of goals due to really sloppy play in our own half. There can be a compromise. As Kingsley said, we need better players to play the way we want, we'll get there but meantime I think we need to be a bit more pragmatic. |

Just as important as that is a keeper who can pull us out a hole. We lose too many goals which aren't directly Gordon's fault but which he could have done better with. Similar to David Marshall in that sense. |

Disagree about parking the bus, but someone who could organise the entire defence would make a world of a difference. |

In that case, would it not be more realistic to drill them into a defensive unit, than to expect them to get to a position where they are comfortable in possession, under pressure, from the best players in the world, who are streets ahead of us in terms of technique and athleticism? We all want to see good football and our players being brave on the ball. The equaliser the other night came from a slack pass in our own half. Brown got robbed in the same position in Astana. We get away with these type of mistakes in the league as teams aren’t good enough to punish us. Gordon’s distribution gets badly exposed at this level too. Losing 7 goals at this level, can’t be giving the players confidence, no matter how the manager dresses it up. We’ve looked dangerous in every game we’ve played at CL level other than PSG at home. We got thumped by Barca but were still good enough to win a pen. We looked dangerous going forward on the break on Wed. If we were sitting in against these teams, we would still create chances over the piece. The longer these teams take to score the more frustrated they can get, crowds get frustrated, they start to rush things or run out of ideas etc. We throw away early goals and allow teams to relax and rip the carrot. None of us like to see our team clinging on for dear life but points make prizes. More money, better players + coefficient etc. By all means, have a go, against the BM, Anderlechts and such like but we need to be defensively organised against the big guns, otherwise, getting hit for 7 will become a regular thing, and none of us want that. |
