  1. Past hour

    Agree I have been saying this for the past few months..

    I don’t think it has intimidated us, Emery always tries to kill the atmosphere first half and then more expansive second half in away games in Europe. Our passing has been poor and their goal was sublime but they haven’t done much else, just we haven’t done anything.
  4. Follyfoot
    Red card offence in all fairness
  5. bobzy
    First sensible call from him this evening, then.

    I think Unai will sort this out and we win this leg 2-1. need more movement off the ball and need to pass more quickly with pace. everything else will come. we have not been frantic or scrambling trying to keep up with their intensity. we have been very controlled. Now it's time to crank up the pressure. We'll be fine.

    We are playing like a team with two eyes on the league.

    Time stands still when Konsa and Cash pass to each other and point all half. Its a dangerous tactic playing at this speed, if they get the second we’ll find it hard to flick the switch and just go on the front foot.

    We are trying to get in behind their press. It’s been a hallmark of the team since Unai took over as manager. As the half progressed it became more obvious what their triggers have been (a lot of it has been one man running at whoever has the ball for us then two running at whoever passes to while a fourth guy stays spare) and I guess the theory is that if we do get in then we’ve taken half their outfield out of the game. It’s not working brilliantly, we’ve been pushed right back so there’s still a lot to do even if the passing is accurate.

    I was relieved he had to go off as I'd have put money on him getting a second yellow with this card happy ref. The injury just looked like an impact one and I'd hope he'll be fine for Sunday.
  11. Osirus
    Can't be much worse second half, still ours to win
  12. nick76
    To be fair I’d red card her for doing that
  13. GeordieVillan
    Cash had been fine. I don’t think he will take him off, as if we are chasing the game and need a goal later, we will need someone who can attack from right back.

    Let me put it this way. If an away tie against Lille intimidates us, we have no business being in the Champions League.

    Some pretty dire performances in that half. The midfield can't get the ball due to konsa having 50% of all our possession and either just standing there with it or passing it back to martinez, no matter where the rest of our team are. Martinez then has to hook it clear which inevitably is towards diaby who will never win it and we give away possession. Mcginn needs to drop further back to give us some sort of hold in midfield and to bollock konsa to release a forward pass to a midfielder. I've not seen us that passive for a long time, it was not easy on the eyes. The ref has been pretty crap so far too.

    I still think we are about a season off Champions League level. A game like this in Champions League we be punished a lot more severely
  17. Don_Simon
    The plan will be to conserve energy. Emery often does this. I would expect running and purpose to increase now as the game runs on.
  18. nick76
    Yeah but he’s had his left knee massively wrapped up on the sidelines…hopefully only need him if we are desperate
  19. NorthernGordon
    I heard the ref has just red carded the tea lady for putting the milk in first.

    Have to hope Emi was trying to deaden the game first half and come out with more intent in the 2nd like against Arsenal. I assume he'll want to avoid extra time at all costs. They've had a full week of rest and extra time would favor them immensely, plus it will cause a problem for the weekend regardless of the result here.
  21. AndyM3000
    Our bench is pretty dead if this goes to ET as well. Bailey, Duran and Carlos is all that we have.

    League two performance thank you Roy Keane
  23. AVTuco
    Impossible.
  24. R.Bear
    If this goes to pens and Emi saves a few and wins the game, he will need a police escort out of the country.
  25. LondonLax
    When were the 4k games? I had a Quick Look and the lowest I can find was an attendance of 9k in a game against Coventry in the early 90s, though their average was 19k that season.

    They’re a decent side but I think we’re giving them far too much respect.
