Good result in the end but need that first win in Europe soon. In the cold light of day, one point from a possible six is not qualification form.

The two Ajax matches back-to-back now will decide our fate IMO. Need a win at least either at home or away.

Big game on Sunday against Liverpool and return of the Mac......
 




Lamptey was incredible tonight. One of his stand our performances of his 3 years with us.
Might be time to grab that Dogma T-shirt before they all sell out. And fair play he may still be with us in a couple of years' time unlike our other big players

Need Baleba up to speed urgently. Big pressure on a young bloke but with Dahoud, Gross, Mitoma & Fati on the pitch our ball winning is non-f***ing-existent. Massive issue.
 








That’s irrelevant. It’s when Welbeck goes to pass that is the point when off-side would be looked at
Rubbish, read the rules. It was the same phase of play , an onside player passing to an offside player who scores is still offside. Why do you think there was the controversy with the Villa goal on Sunday when the ball was played with a player offside. The goal stood because he not only didn't touch the ball but was deemed not to be interfering with play

If we turn up in the reverse fixtures vs both AEK and Marseille we will win them both.
I'm looking more at the two Ajax fixtures as points for the taking. They are a debacle at the moment. Marseille at home 'should' be winnable. We proved we are a better team than them with the second half performance after the first half jitters. I think AEK could the trickiest of the remaining games.

Its not, but the table is wide open and all to play for! The second half tonight will give us a big boost - we're growing!

Right - Ajax at home we need to properly turn up off the pitch, AEK was excellent but Ajax needs to be like Chelsea/Palace. It needs to be intimidating, bordering on nasty.

The club need to scrap anything not ‘normal’ before the game too. No more ‘Bristol Citys’ please. We should celebrate at the end of the season not during it.

I might adapt my earlier post after that second half. Maybe it's not about us being figured out, but about us earning the right to play pretty football against good teams. We have to fight and deal with close attention and aggressive opposition and not just expect to be allowed to play our football.

Our record against good teams isn't actually that great, but we're getting a lot of practice now and that second half was very promising
