Prso's headband 35,449 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Another challenge ticked off the list, brilliant second half. Doesn’t always need to be all out goals etc. Adaptability and mentality the big wins tonight. Brilliant, that’ll breed even more confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Done it the hard way, I'm sure we'll get plaudits for our resilience. But that was fucking horrible from us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Great stuff, comfortably through with a game to spare. Much better second half. You know we're flying when you describe 3 goals in Europe as "not about all out goals" haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Exactly. Tonight was arguably our poorest display of what’s been an amazing season so far, to come out of that with a win still and our objective achieved is outstanding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no right to be going through to the last 32 year on year, we’ve earned it again. Delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raligt 2,541 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Liege were right up for it tonight and rightly so. They knew they had to win to have any chance of qualifying. You could say the pressure was off us as we only needed a point from our last 2 games to go through. Think Liege ran out of steam and we started to control the game 2nd half.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Different mentality this season and no one showing it more than Tav. He's fucking immense and on a mission! Bit disjointed first half, but confidence levels are good. Just play our way back into it. Gerrard has us set up well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was much wrong about some individual performances, our mistakes, our failing to match their energy and drive. I think think the timing of our pen deflated them although they were better again at the start of the 2nd half. We battled on, our character got us there in the end. Delighted too.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Nice to see us getting the same result despite being in a losing position twice. It can't always be the same types of wins, so it's good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Ghoul 6,054 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 3 goals when playing shite isn't a bad thing. Next round is waiting and we can still go top with it still in our own hands 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Terrible game tonight especially first half...my goodness....but we pulled it back. That was hard going to watch though 😥 My booty could of cracked nuts! Haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like we improved big time second half though. When watching back without the natural nerves it was more comfortable than it seemed I think. First half was very much terrible though... yet, we can both be delighted. Times just feel different just now. 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,515 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Love these beautiful bastards! They are starting to show the mettle to give us belief that they are ready for 55. It would have been so easy to panic or to feel sorry for themselves but their character has shone through. Thank fuck we weren’t in the stadium at 0-1 though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,251 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I didn't think this team could win ugly tbh, as well as we've been this year - big positive that we can. This to me illustrates one major thing: we do have a different mentality this year. Need to keep it going and make it count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times just feel different just now. 😊 After the 3rd, we were cracking at times, til then we were at risk of losing. We started so poorly, and to lose the 2nd so quickly after scoring was criminal. So I'm delighted our character and resilience got us through. But if we show the initial lethargy and mistakes that wont always be the case. So its a delighted to be through but learn from it ASAP kind of result for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys give it their all from the word go and they chase each ball, defend as a unit (most the time) and then still charge up the park at the 80+ minute. Only thing we should work on is game management like what happend vs Benfica but considering they are a class side and won 4-0 tonight its still great we managed a draw with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
