I wince whenever he is on the ball tbh.

We have been let off massively a few times. The defending hasn't been great 

[Goianegra 4,702]

Lawrence's long range shooting seems to have been massively overhyped.

James Sands has been absolutely phenomenal 

Apart from the 2 times he’s given them the ball in our half. But he’s recovered well. 
 

Can’t afford to do it a third time, they will punish us eventually

Lawrence shooting nothing like his youtube video suggested he was capable of. Hopefully it comes for him just like last week.

I think he isn't scared to have a pop so now and again one will fly in and it will make for a good highlight reel

Wouldn’t say so, he’s been really good, covering Goldson constantly. 
 

Need a massive performance from Goldson if this is to stay in the tie

[Jimfanciesthedude 25,002]

Goldson gives me the fear, strikers always get in front of him

[GA1972 9,843]

Better decision making and we can win this. If Barisic or or someone doesn’t close down Teze at some point they will score. Less said about Goldson the better 

[steven33jackie 1,972]

Happy with the score as we are still in it. But we need so much more from Kent and to a lesser extent Lawrence. Kent is quickly becoming a player who gets a game on the basis on what he has done in the past rather than producing right now.

Sands has been superb that half btw.

He reads the game brilliantly, he just needs to cut out those silly passes but he is very good young player. big future  

[Vanoli 4,628]

Thank fuck. 

Going to have to ride out luck at points, this lot are electric on the break. 

All we can do is earn another good spell in the game and find the one big chance.

[skinnymate1690 665]

Needed half time there , not a bad 20 mins in the middle but seems like the have a couple of gears they can go up 

[maverick1200 2,880]

That was a tough watch. Not sure I can handle another 45 mins of that.

Yet you're saying McLaughlin is underrated for a shot hitting him in the chest 🤣

Sands has been our best player by a mile so far 

[BearInTheToon 1,577]

Tillman and Kent just don’t take enough care of the ball. Too often it’s a lazy pass after doing decent work. Putting us right under pressure needlessly and not getting us up the park.

We can take this team if we could just learn to fucking shoot

Its the "ball playing" at the back for me.. most likely under instructions, but it isnt working and we are lucky that it hasnt cost us (again) tonight.

[The Archer 1,213]

Borna has to stop cunts getting crosses in he is always miles away from the attacker 

[CammyMcC 75]

These games are fuckin murder on the nerves ffs

[beararse 6,476]

That must be the lowest number of free kicks I’ve ever witnessed in 45 mins. 4 in total, all conceded by PSV.

18 seconds added on, WTF?

The 4th official has indicated a minimum of a quarter of a minute additional time.

Really enjoyed that. We’ve played some nice stuff. 

I’ve felt thoroughly sick throughout it  

[MacBoyd 5,645]

Was decent for 35 mins however still not sure we can score and we are awful at the back. The tactics at corners needs fucking ripped up.

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,242]

Hope we don’t run out of steam 2nd half, it’s been a hard slog

Hopefully quoting this later.

[SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,912]

A mixed half, dominated the majority of the game except the last 10/15 minutes.

PSV had the better chances though.

We need to start converting possession into goal scoring chances, we also need to stop giving away possession in our own half needlessly & last of all sort out our corners both in attack and defence.

[esquire8 43,656]

I'm liking the positions Tillman is picking up, finding a lot of space, just when he gets it he doesn't make the right decisions.
