CSKA Post Match Thread

[daztrueblue91]

We need to stop trying to run before we can walk in Europe and go back to basics. We need to forget about playing our style of football because it quite evidently is not working. It is no coincidence that our best performance in the competition in the past 4 seasons was against Bayern with are second string side.

Lets just put out a side so we don't get beat, use our strengths in a different way.

Team for the rest of the campaign:

--------------------------------------------------------------- Hart -----------------------------------------------------------------
Zabba ---------------------------------- Vinny --------------------- Mangala/ Demichellis -------------------- Clichy
------------------------------------------------------- Fernando ------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------- Fernandinho ------------------------ Yaya -------------------------------------------------------
Navas -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kolarov
------------------------------------------------------ Dzeko -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lets get men behind the ball and break with pace. Use Edin like he was at Wolfsberg and playing him in a counter attacking team. At least we will have the option of bringing on Silva and Aguero off the bench but it just seems that we cannot play to their strengths in this competition.

No point in crying over spilt milk and all that.

Roll on Saturday.

It was so simple mister...after 60 the subs should be Fernadinho for Silva, Jovetic for Aguero and Navas for Milner.You are totally responsible for the bad perfomances at the CL mathes. Refs are responsible for the results...

If we don t win the Europa League you should go.

Couldn't be arsed reading this shit. We're fcukin miles off the pace in the CL and nothing has changed over 3 or 4 years.

Those who wank over last year's Bayern away result delude themselves. When it really mattered, Bayern gave us a royal shafting.

 

[super_city_si]

Maybe a bit harsh, but were the players drugged during the halftime?? Cruising in the first half, and then sloppy passing, passive in defending...

Today, I seriously think the board should consider selling Yaya in January, if we`re out of CL.

It reminds me of an interview i heard (cant remember who) and they said you can often tell the effectiveness of a manger by the players reaction in the second half after the half time teamtalk. Cant help but think how flat we've been in the last 2 games directly after half time.

This is not manager's fault. Same shit happening with both Mancini and Pellegrini, it's obvious that this group of players have some giant blockade when it comes to performances in Europe.

Of course it is

He was the one who took our best player off (Silva) and left a passenger on (Toure)

Just another manager who is afraid of making big decisions

 

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

so..they get a dodgy pen..shit happens.
two points...firstly..would mourinho have tossed that away tonight??not a chance
secondly...yaya is a ****.
totally fucking pissed of tonight..
we have regressed in europe..dress it up all you like.these are the.plain cold facts.hope yaya gets.sold asap.he was shite at villa..shite tonight..and generally shite all season.
pellegrini..lets.the players ride on easy street to much.

Disappointing to say the least. Once again playing 4-4-2 in the Champions League results in us blowing it. Time and time again it has been proven that not conceding is more important than scoring. We need a major tactical rethink to progress. We also need Bayern to win tonight but a draw will suit both them and Roma so a 0-0 draw on the cards.

 

[kippaxblue76]

Fucking naïve beyond belief from our manager, shut it down at 0-2 and play on the break, way to open, clean sheet at all costs but he just plays the same way every game. He needs to adapt to situations quickly but is found wanting badly again in this completion. Not many of us can stand Mourhino but there is no way one his teams would have let that slip.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I'm genuinely shocked by that second half performance, not a single one of the players performed to the required standard.

There isn't a single positive to take from tonight.
