Can we still do it?

Re: We can still do it!!

Having seen all three teams comfortably control possession against us and easily close us down to upset our possession, and also seen us being swamped in midfield with too few men having to deal with five players; the only way we'll progress is by dumping all the slow players, playing 5 midfielders (not strikers wide in no particular position giving absolutely no cover for the full backs) and playing a more defensive style.

We're too slow to cope with all three team's quick running and quick passing players. We've been comfortably the fourth best team in this group so far.

This is very true Dan,however it is not over yet. We win our next 2 and it's a cup final in Germany. I learnt very quickly after last season that whilst it is mathematically possible there is always HOPE.

If the home teams win on Match Day 5 it's on

It would take a miracle but Madrid and Dortmund will probably crush Ajax so no we've blown it.

Just give it our best shot and if it means another spell in the Europa then so be it. We have to make sure we are in next season competition , and then we have to plot a way out of the group stages . One thing for sure if we do not qualify for either the later rounds or for the Europa League, we will expect another Group of Death next season.
