Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Another thing we do which fucking kills me is dropping off and playing 15 yards deeper. You see it time and again in football. Teams drop, concede space and allow the other team to have the ball in the middle of the park and play the low block. Then shock horror they concede. We did it again tonight, just defend like we had been doing for 70 mins and we’d have seen the game out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElBufalo20 7,870 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We were really poor tonight tbh. Yeah it is frustrating being 2-0 up and not winning but we did t deserve to win. We will qualify no bother and not to lose over 2 games to a team that had spent £100m+ is fairly impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best team we have played in years - 2 draws are great results. Agree but it is a positive sign on how far we have come that we are disappointed with a 5-5 draw with Benfica over two games!

I think that was tactical because we done the same thing against Poznan and Gerrard more or less admitted after the game that was the plan. I can see why we've done it tonight too especially given our superb defensive record, but when your defence looks a bit ropey and the second balls are going back to Benfica in and around our final third it doesn't look like the best tactic. It puts a strain on the whole unit. We looked great on the counter attack though when Davis was picking up the balls, Kent was running and everything going through Kamara with ease - I just think sitting in too deep, inviting them tactically cost us in the end when changes should have been made at 2-0 to give us the win.

What's that got to do with bringing him on the last 20-minutes of this game? that and you could also say Easter Road are probably the only 2 bad games I've seen him play for us. Do you think he'd cost us another 2 goals in the last 20-minutes or something too because he had a bad game a couple of weeks ago. Is that how you think football actually works?

Inigo 32,526 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Weird as it may sound, don't think today and last time were the same. Last time we fucked it v 10 men and failed in some basic game management. This time it was a team that upped its level and we flagged a bit in the face of it. Maybe a sub would have helped, but really it was the midfield that needed freshened the most, and due to circumstances we were thin on fresh options there.

Benfica got the goals cos they were the better team we did drop mate, our starting positions were all much deeper last 20/25 minutes than they were previously. Granted they were popping it about but if you don't concede that 15 yards then they are popping around 30 yards from goal rather than in and around your box, as led to their second goal.

I get what you're saying but I think tonight they had 3 or 4 of their top players out so I think (for me anyway) swings it back the way in regards both games being as bad (and the fact we were at Ibrox). But I do agree that they are a top team and we are punching above our weight in Europe under Gerrard. Possibly victims of our own success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was not one player slacking on that pitch and not one I would blame for a slip up like helander has had against them in the past. clearly you don’t understand how football works - in general, the club worth around £200 million generally beat the club worth around £55 million. It’s disappointing to drop a 2 goal lead, but we are doing more than punching above our weight to hold that 2 nil lead for so long in the game in the first place. To think we could have done more is expecting too much imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sco22y 280 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 We are top of this league, and our domestic league. Yes, it disappointing not to pick up 3 points but, fuck me.
