RobertN 390 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hard fought point but lessons to be learned To cavalier last game at the end too defensive this game players were dead on ther feet chasing shadows how many subs did they make six or something that was the difference at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,806 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Arses collapsed in both games. Subs should have been made as the players looked dead on their feet. Gerrard's doing a cracking job but his game management is probably his biggest weakness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are coming off the pitch disappointed to be drawing with Benfica, unbeaten and top of our Europa group after 4 games speaks volumes. Both your post and his are true. And the fact we are entitled to be disappointed that we haven’t won 4 out of 4 speaks volumes about the work Gerrard has done. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have some responsibility for the fact we drew two of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Frustrating, but they’re a top side and I think before both games we would have all taken a draw. Must make sure we don’t dwell on this, move on and get back to winning ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raligt 2,541 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I agree with the manager in not making any changes. I dont think he wanted to disrupt tempo of the game. As a sub you always find it difficult coming into a game like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemdog 39,389 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Massively frustrating to not win in the end. We should we be winning both of those games and the lack of subs is massively disappointing. Out of context they're both good results, but they're silly dropped points.

I can’t believe no subs were made when we were ducking shattered. Still, I’m happy with the position we are in. Same I’m happy but could be happier. Game was crying out for Barker’s runs in behind (can’t believe I just said that! 😂) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Can’t get too disappointed at that. We are in a good place still. They looked like equalising if we are honest with ourselves. A draw is a fair result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,858 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 So unlucky for their first goal and we had a stonewall penalty denied. Brutal throwing away a two goal lead though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoastbear 1,639 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 After the Roofe goal did anyone else think, bring Helander on and push Balogun up a bit and protect that 2 goal lead. Ah well Does that Roofe no do tap ins or something , another cracking goal btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lidorfc 6,665 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not a bad result all things considered, back to back wins against Benfica would have been amazing so it is gutting we've chucked two two goal leads, but we'll qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
