Feyenoord (H) - Tues 26th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[theres only one carlito]

Rico has the legs. Is that a joke? I’m 53yo and think I’m quicker. The midfield lacks physicality. Nunes and O’Reilly should start imo. Let’s at least play players who can cover the ground.

Rodri ain’t quick. You don’t need to be if your heads on it. Rico is a tidy player in possession. Nunes is bobbins and o Reilly is rico three years ago

The trouble with Rico is that he doesn’t show any defensive qualities, even when playing right back. He says himself he prefers to be an attacking midfielder.

As was shown on Saturday his positional play and strength alongside an equally culpable Gundo were constantly exposed by Spurs

The midfield is not giving the defence the protection it needs. Especially when you have both full backs playing like wingers , they don’t drop in to cover like Rodri and previous DMs did

He needs to be fifty per cent bigger with a bit more muscle. He gets muscled off too often to be a creditable DM. His strength is in being here,there 'n everywhere.

Quite a lot of Feyenoord fans in town before.

Not far off being 'must win' territory this one, if only to shut the media up. If we lose six on the bounce, then the vultures will be circling.

I think we just need a bit of luck and a moment of magic to get us going again.

I’d snap your hand off for a 0-0 to arrest the slide

And show a few Delft touches.

Always reminds me of the Keegan quote: "Sol Campbell there, using his strength. And that is his strength. His strength".

Regardless of losing streak, this is a must win anyway. The next games are PSG and Juve away so we have to win tomorrow to have a chance of top 8. I think we will win comfortably, a response has to come sooner or later.

Have they met up with the travellers?

Circling - have you seen the recent coverage?? Most are currently sitting on what they think is our carcass.
Gotta do something about that tomorrow - although Pep's prickly response to being asked about changing our style doesn't bode well

0-0 for the clean sheet or 1-1 so we score a goal?

Mcatee should be getting a run out in this one, same with Oriely

I would be delighted to see McAtee start this next game in CL, but sadly don’t see it happening.

 

[Stelea]

0-0 for the clean sheet or 1-1 so we score a goal?

A draw could prove fatal to our hopes of progressing. Juve and PSG away next !

Ah, but those'd be tulips from Amsterdam. The tulips from Rotterdam are made of sterner stuff. The Rotterdammers are world renowned for 'kicking shins'!

Yep, three points necessary. Four would be better!

 

[Withnail]

Hope Kev starts tomorrow, he won't resolve all our midfield issues, but he will add a sprinkle of magic and creativity which is needed.

Fck me. Looks like they've brought the Dutch version of Roy Cropper.

Alan Partridge would be jealous of those slacks!
