Pace, strength, movement and power from them - none of which we have 

They are a very good team.. do not understand people who say otherwise - especially the ones who say they are 5th in the league... the Mhanks are also 5th in the league with 5 games played.. they will still finish 2nd. Lyon are 5th in a league that contains PSG, Marseille, Lille and the likes.. they are quality - saying anything else is simply daft.

Same. Hope you get well soon.

Another gutless performance , hardly surprising , we have been like this all year and the manager has zero ideas on how to fix it.........

No disgrace to be beaten by Lyon but we look scared and bereft of real ideas on potentially one of the bigger nights of our European season.

To me all of our signings this season are lucky to make the squad - Bacuna will have to be an absolute diamond to salvage something from this transfer window.

Hope Kent gets a rest and fires back because we have been missing him for ages.

We had a decent first half with a couple of good shots on target.

It all fell apart in the second half though. They kept the ball, tired us out and killed the game with the second goal.

A sore one but they are rhe group favourites. We have to be more ruthless in the final third in the remaining games rhough.

A talented side no doubt but, by fuck, that diving and rolling about for virtually zero contact (and an incompetent referee who can’t tell the difference) really demeans their performance.

They are clearly the better side but that is simply cheating and removes the sheen of their performance.

Shades of playing the racists this game. Diving, conning cunts. Ref is a twat!

Win every weekend and I will give zero fucks about Europe this season. We made our mark the past 3 seasons.

Absolutely.

Europe has been important, and is a good little cash builder, but the league and automatic Champions League entry is imperative and must be the primary focus.

We also need to start upping our levels and get somewhat near where we were last season.

Kent has been a fucking embarrassment since whenever 

[RDB14 2,760]

Arfield may not be amazing but he has shown much more every time he plays than Lundstram.

[Valance1690 3,826]

Very disappointing 

They are a good team with a few standout players but they're not world beaters 

Made it so easy for them playing with Kamara/Kent & Lundstrum, all 3 absolutely shocking.

Lundstrum is utter shite, none of this he has to settle pish, he's a shocking football player & a complete waste of a wage

Kent looks lost in this team, the formation and tactics aren't working to his strengths and he's worse than a man down

Kamara has completely checked out, assume he was 1 of the ones close to leaving in the summer, only explanation for a player who looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.

[72barca 1,788]

Very pedestrian. No service for Alfie and nobody willing to take a shot outside the box.That mob were a bunch of divers.
Still we got what we deserved- f*ck all.

[The Blues 375]

• Team has regressed. We must give some of the young lads (Bassey and Paterson)and other newcomers a chance now.

[Ross-Gazza genius 1,907]

Pish, fans were given hardly anything to cheer or get behind the team. Gerrard needs to do some long hard thinking with the coaching staff as there's been way too many sub par performances like this.

Disappointing night

Forgettable, I’ve seen us play worse, we go again on Sunday.

Stumbled over the line in the playoff and we haven't improved since.

Despite the league position it's not looking good IMO. We look piss fucking poor and a shadow team of last season.

If we were playing a semi decent team in the playoffs we wouldn't even have made the competition, so poor.

We hit the post and their keeper pulled off a wonder save.

It's no like they have had millions of chances.

They toyed with us mate. Thing is, I'm normally pissed when we lose, tonight I know we lost to a far better team.

It isn’t how it starts.

Poor performance but on another day could have got a draw. Just have to win in France now.

[The Blues 375]

If we play like this we will struggle to get any points in this group

[ianb1547 3,767]

disappointed tonight...but still think we will get out of the group
