  1. Yeah he was booked in the 95th minute of the first leg However, https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/clubs/players/250026721--emiliano-martinez/statistics/ shows him as only having 2 yellows in the competition, and i thought you needed 3 to be suspended?
  2. Unbelievably unprofessional by the ref; he was basically inline with the post for Dougie's penalty, and then as you say started moving closer during the run up. Would have easily been visible and distracting to Dougie out the corner of his eye
  3. Worth noting that since the end of the international break, which was only 3 weeks ago, we've played 4 league games compared to Lille's 2, and their games were both at home. We've had trips to Man City and Arsenal. Their domestic schedule will have benefitted them in terms of fitness and freshness, ours the opposite. So we've done well to grind it out.
  4. I think over the two legs we saw the downside of (by necessity given injuries tbf) getting through previous stages of the competition playing at like 25% to try and manage workload. It's then not easy to turn it on when you come up against someone who is a lot, lot better than you've faced to date. Probably doubly so given there's quite a few in the side who havent really got much experience of a european run. Still, we dug out the result, and that is all that matters in cup competitions. Hopefully these two games give a bit of a wake up to the intensity we will need to play at to get further.
  5. Back to his early season form before all the gambling stuff broke Even if he's not getting goals or assists, he was holding it up, carrying it and generally putting defenders on the back foot
  6. Brilliant, this team and manager is something else
  7. 'World's best' Van Djik nearly doing a Gerrard
  8. Absolutely mad how poor Bournemouth's finishing has been overall. Although Solanke's goal was excellent
  9. Assist to the ground staff for watering the hell out of the pitch before the game
  10. Good win, but we are going to have to play much, much better next week. Gave Lille far too much space, and let them exploit it through stupid decisions and turnovers, e.g. the 1 on 1 Emi saved from whatever Rogers was trying to do in the first half with that bizarre ball backwards.
  11. far, far, too easy for them we are offering nothing
  12. 2-0 up, 85 mins gone and you are giving free headers 7 yards out unacceptable Set pieces have been an issue for ages and nothing has been done about it
  13. pathetic disgraceful effort at the near post a set piece yet again! We've done **** all the last 20 mins and got exactly what we deserved.
  14. I have a bit of sympathy we Luiz on that fk He's got players running at speed at him near the edge of the box because Bailey couldn't be bothered to make an effort 5 seconds earlier
  15. Emi again That was a pathetic attempt to block at the near post by Digne Too many playing far too casual atm
  16. We had 6 players within about 15 yards of each marking 2 players, then left the man free in acres of room at the back post I'm sorry, but that was on Konsa for me, tucked in way too far
  17. i think he's offside But wtf is Konsa doing? Completely out of position yet again on a cross
  18. Really good finish from McGinn as would have been easy to try and hit it too hard and sky it
  19. Bailey has been atrocious Done nothing but run into or pass straight to Lille players Then giving zero help to Konsa defensively
  20. Agreed Can't keep the ball, getting cut open every time, a yard slow every time Lucky to be ahead with a set piece
  21. Great save but far, far too easy for them to get in on the counter
  22. Great play by Pau, followed by immediate dogshit by Dougie
  23. Can barely keep the ball Crowd right up for and we are putting this out on the pitch
