CSKA Post Match Thread

Roma already 3 down, perhaps a lifeline.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Bayern 2 up tonight.

3 - 0
Is this the same Roma team we played a few weeks back ?

Even better side then we played says a lot about our team.

There is a wolf at our door. The real enemy and turning on our players and manager is exactly what they want.

We need to collectively tell UEFA we have had enough of their bullshit!

Hope our players get to watch the CFC match. There is a solidity about Chelsea that we haven't got.

Awful officiating. You just can't get away from it. It effected the result whether we like it or not.

As to the tactics, I think if you watched the first half then you know the level they can play at. You can't legislate for every one of our attacking four/five players being very very poor collectively and individually in the second half.

I said before the game it was a must win. We haven't. What that says about Pellegrini, it's difficult to say. I think it's almost impossible that he'll be sacked next summer but he'll be acutely aware of how important the CL is and this is his second shot at it and we haven't looked any better.

We need to dust ourselves down because we go to West Ham this weekend and in the weekly narrative that's just become a big game.

Every game is a big game for us.

It's actually frightening how far we are off the likes of Bayern, Real, Barca or even teams like Atletico Madrid.

European Success will come, but it won't be for a long, long time.

Win in Rome and we are through.

Shameful second half from the players tonight, shameful, nothing to do with the managers tactics, a number of players arrogantly thought the game was over.

When players can't pass a football 10 yards to a team mate, they are the ones to blame. The rot set in upfront, I said to my other half that the front two needed to up their game about 5 minutes into the second half, they didn't, one got taken off the other vanished. No idea what the point of Navas coming on was, but he provided little or nothing, and no cover to his fullback, and Milner who had been excellent for 45 minutes vanished as well. Fernando and Fernandhino have a lot of improving to do if they are to play together regularly, and Yaya was weak, when we needed strength. Vinny was poor in the second half, having been great in the first. Not a single player should be paid for that second half performance, it was arrogant, poor, and lacking in kind of creativity, guile, skill, or effort.

Not good enough for any level, never mind this one.

Harsh, but sadly true. Even Spanish Dave struggled to pass the ball accurately after his half time cuppa.

You're not called OB1 for nothing.
