People need to realise its the last 16 and this team are no mugs.

We have played better for sure but i have every faith we will play better 2nd half and they will tire from all their pressing.

Slavia are a good side and we are very lucky not to be behind. All too familiar. We looked asleep for the first mins.

All to play for though.

We will win this imo.

Morelos to score the winner.

He could have had one as their goalie and defender seemed to have a mad moment.

Let's be honest they are a good team and we are lucky it's 1-1. We need to do much Fuckin better in the second half.

It was the first pass Hagi had made all game.

Far too open with Hagi and Aribo in team.

One or the other in second half.

Both looking forward, 

Davis doesn't t have the legs to get over and cover the full back area. 

Means our CBs have to do it. Seen Goldson cover RB a few times. 

Helander cover LB.  

They don't want to be out there. 

Needs Kamara and Aribo to work harder.

What I have to say is this mob we’re playing are nothing special 

Stanciu looks a quality player but overall we’ve played 45 minutes there well below our best, still drawing 1-1 and they’ve created very little other than a spectacular strike from the edge of the box 

They are nothing to be scared of.

We have been sloppy at times.

Get into top gear and we will run all over them. Our subs will be vital imo.

I'm actually not impressed by them. We were just rotten.

I wouldn't be surprised if we go on to win this. We can't play any worse.

Balogun is suspended and Patterson is not playing that badly.

[sausagetrunks 6,022]

Id take a 1-1 get Jacko and Tav back.

100%

We have played much better, we should be beating this team. I don't think they are anything special.

[Ivybank 4,580]

Their delivery from set plays is unbelievable

why didn’t we press them from the first minute?
when we did they panicked 

[Rangers#1 5,459]

What a fucking ball from Hagi, love that boy.

Their high pressing will backfire imo. We have e players like Kent and Morelos who thrive on the chances a high pressing teams give.

[Vision 16,729]

Most of these teams always look better possession wise but it always seems to end the same way.

[Moody Blue 9,356]

After that performance, need much better in the second half. Far too open in midfield, game passing Aribo by so Id bring on Arfield, let him support Patterson on the right and move Kamara to the left side.  Hagi in there to keep possession but he’s been poor.

Like the rest of the team , shocking first 25 but got stronger as the half went on.

Need to start playing better mate 👍

[McEwan's Lager 30,524]

Their press was pretty impressive tbh and made us play at a pace we were uncomfortable with which is why we were so sloppy with the ball. The only side that has really done that to us with that intensity under Gerrard was probably Hearts last season. Hopefully they tire and in the second half but we need to try and not panic and just be a bit better at offering options.
