It used to be exciting but not anymore.
Also Europa league not the end of the world. The winner gets a CL spot.
We'll never have a chance of winning it anyway. No way we could beat Bayern, Real or Barcelona, Chelsea
yet seem to regularly put in a performance against us.
Is that really down to the players or perhaps managers who can motivate and know how to set up ?
My overriding concern is the total lack of fighting speeerit amongst our lot when were up against it. We seem to freeze and enter ball watching mode.
simply **** I wouldn't be annoyed and say fair enough.
However this is happening a lot more often these days. Something is very wrong yet again. What's wrong with the players why they are like a sack of **** and don't seem to care less?
maybe doesn't work anymore when you don't commit 100% to it.
Thinking we'll turn up and our 'quality' will be enough to get through.
Olympiacos
AWFUL!!
My general ambivalence towards the CL, or our involvement in the CL, is well documented. We are merely in the mix with many others to make up the numbers.
We are like Everton in the FA Cup, a side who if all the cards fall in the right place may end up having a decent run but ultimately we are not really going to win it.
We have qualified and as such we have achieved our aim, the financial results of same are recorded for ever in the clubs annual accounts.
Still think we might qualify all the same, the option of finishing third is the worst case scenario.
And of course, it simply has to be said, Ospina LOL.
