They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but he has obviously taken some coaching on playing out from the back & the team is better for that. If They intercept Goldson forwards pass from the by line after Greegs gives him it from our goal kick , they’re on top of us 30 yards from goal , get it long to the buff , get his body in and contest the second ball the their half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not for me mate , see no point potentially costing yerself a goal , 9 times out of 10 we end up under pressure and somebody launches it the same as Greegs could have done 5 dangerous passes ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good result on paper, 2 good results on paper actually, but we should have had 6 points out of 6. It was bitterly disappointing but Benfica are maybe just a level below Bayer and that's a level that's still just above us, which there's no shame in with their summer spending. Reaching the knockout stages of the Europa, whether we're in the CL next season or the Europa, is our target when it comes to Europe and there's fuck all wrong with that when you're the biggest of 2 big clubs in a Country the size of ours. If we qualify next week this'll soon be forgotten about. On to the next one. As long as we win the group .These results will be seen as decent .Any other and it will be case of thinking ,what could have been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to McGregor for trying but he’s never going to be a keeper that you can rely on to play out from the back, demonstrated by when he tried the dink out to Borna and it went straight to a Benfica player. Quite often we put Borna in a corner where the best he could do was win a throw in or play a silly lob down the line. Once you got past Benfica’s initial press I thought they were quite weak, I thought we could’ve got more joy out of bypassing their press and going direct even if it needed McGregor to give it to Goldson and him to play the long ball to the forwards. Neither Vertonghen or Jardel looked like they fancied it against Roofe or Morelos Hopefully a bit of a lesson learned for when we face similar opposition in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t handle pressure, hence why after drawing 3-3 with Benfica we smashed Hamilton and Aberdeen 8-0 and 4-0 respectively. What world do these people live on?

They beat us at Ibrox and its game on, assuming we both win our games up to then. Too many getting a bit carried away. They've only had one league defeat all season.
