Club Brugge (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

[Solatron]

Savinho made the difference and Phil needs to play in the middle. Sad to say but I think Gundo is finished. Need some decent full backs and an athletic CM. Much better second half

 

[ysmsa]

They both ended up with the same record. Is that why we don't know who we get?

No.

It's how the draw was planned beforehand.

2 of the highest placed teams play the lowest placed 2 decided by a draw.

I don't know but suspect we will be away 2nd?
There must be an advantage for the higher placed teams!

Just glad we came through.

I was bang on before the start.

Didn’t see your post, otherwise I would be highlighting it, as well!

 

[B\connellblue]

Couldn’t care less. He had his reasons im sure.

Theres no need to make it any more complicated than it is. He has made some crazy decisions in his starting 11 this season.

Some of the “fans” on the match thread should hang their fvkin heads in shame. You’re an absolute embarrassment to every decent blue. You bunch of pathetic shithouses.

Rant over, as you were!

Maybe you should hang your head in shame. If you don’t like the match thread then give it a miss. Snowflake.

 

[adrianr]

Guessing the match thread was suitably calm and rational at half time?

 

[Dax777]

So fucking what. It's a cup competition.

I thought it was going to be a spin the bottle type for everyone. Didn't know it was set in stone like this. Thats all :)

Did anyone notice that we kept possession for TEN minutes at the end of the second half. That was a phenomenal piece of game killing.

 

[johnnytapia]

Can we just let the opposition walk the ball into our net in the first minute? It seems inevitable that we will go behind in most games so why not get it over with quickly.

You fanny. Do one

To be fair Brugges didn't want to concede again. There was definitely words between our benches I reckon

 

[ancoats]

I don't think we played that well but won and through and that is football
We will need a new holding midfield player in the next few days to face whoever in the playoff

Nobody will fancy playing us and we can give the best a game if we turn up

 

[Heath Park]

Or he could have said that the price of Real Madrid or Bayern finishing 11th and 12th is a knock out tie with City.
Tough draw for them.
They won't fancy us...

 

[blueparrot]

Quite the same issues , pressing is not good enough and silly mistakes in defending...psg just showed all our weak spots..pressed us high and hard and ran through us like nothing.

We’ll have 3 different players, and I don’t think Bayern are that great. Put it this way Madrid and Bayern won’t be thrilled with getting us.

Amazingly poor starting selection. Gundogan is done at this level and should be nowhere near the first eleven. Savinho should have started in a game we had to win

 

[bluegaz13]

Obviously a game of 2 halves……but when the team was announced I (and I expect most people) feared the worst with the midfield and lack of energy etc.

That ageing middle has failed to work all season….why would it work tonight.

Although he didn’t have one of his best games…Foden gave us so much more in the middle in the second half.

Thought Nunes was poor again..absolutely no football intelligence and got done for their goal once again.

Just before we got our second there was some absolutely awful defending by Akanji, where he backed off from near to the half way line right up to our own penalty box and invited their striker to shoot which from where I was sat, had Ederson beaten and ended up inches wide.

When everyone is fit the only place for Akanji is right back….he’s simply not good enough in the middle.

The key to the rest of the season is keeping Stones fit and getting Dias back.

 

[tommybooth]

We will do RM. No problem

 

[Gundoggin]

Social media saying Marmoush and other new signings available for next stage of CL if we drop one from CL squad?!?!?
Fantastic news if true

[B\connellblue]

No guarantee us or any of them get there. That's all if this and that happens.

Same midfield still and no rb if things stay the same...dont think psg is definetly better than either of those teams..ofc we have a chance ,but need to improve our game quite a lot and cut out silly mistakes.
