Feyenoord (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

The losing run is over!!!! Take the small wins. Looking like CL playoffs at best for us with the games we have coming up, but we managed to get 3-0 up and things fell apart after the subs. Take the positives. We didn't lose, even if it feels like one. Bring on the dippers!!!
I've really been trying to cheer myself up today, but nothings cutting the mustard. However, another positive is our unbeaten CL home run is still intact. A little comfort in these dark times. Narrr, I couldn't give a shit! Last night felt like a defeat. :(
 
I do wonder if all the talk of the charges is getting to the players heads a little bit. When the manager openly talks about the possibility of relegation, that players must think along those lines as well. The team just looks mentally and physically exhausted at the minute.

I genuinely couldn't sleep last night because it was on my mind. Think it was about 5.30 this morning before I nodded off. It's crazy how it affects us.

Same here pal, got in around 11.30 and was hyper. Could of been around 2.30 til I got off. Million things running through my mind. Horrible.
 
Are you winding me up? The first 5 we lost, the last game we drew. That’s 5 defeats on the run, not 6 :-). This is what you said…

but accepting 6 defeats on the bounce has been unpleasant viewing to say the least
The Feyenoord draw was felt as more of a loss than the other five put together!!

I think it's injuries to key players and possibly a bit of burn out after 4 amazing seasons that are affecting the team. All the charges did was galvanised them to go on an amazing unbeaten run that season.
 
It is not the first time we have seen a drop off in quality when subs have been made. Unfortunately the young centre back is not at the level required (yet?) MacAtee is nowhere near good enough and KDB is unfit/ totally fucked, depending on your point of view. We clearly meed something to freshen up and I think that the club will be sensibly working to bring some stability back to the team.
It is to be expected that we don’t just continue to dominate year on year, no club can. What we have achieved is already unprecedented and for good reason. We need a reset and that is plain to see. We are not run by idiots. We will have to suck it up this season, but that is ok. We move on and stay blue..

I agree with most of this, save for KDB - yes, he's not "there" yet, but, he still looked a class above most of our team in his short spell last night. Let's hope we can get 75 minutes out of him at the weekend; Dias back at centre half; Ake at left back to take of Salah, and Walker can find some form to come in and strengthen us - shoring-up the right side of the back four.

As we're finding out this season - again - it's a funny old game.
