sane has looked pretty poor, hes given the ball away so many times.

I watch Tosin and wonder how he's the best centre back option from the academy?? Is he!?

Pretty poor performance, can't really expect to throw a bunch of players who haven't been playing, into a completely new formation and expecting them to do well against a quality side like SHaktar. That being said, some really poor individual performances out there, particularly from some of the more senior attackers. Tosin as well really needs to either be brought off or have the formation changed as he's clearly not got a clue about playing that wide CB position, summed up by that second goal where he clearly had no clue the guy was making a run, so much so that he didn't even bother running once the ball had already been played in behind him. Not sure having Yaya in front of him helps, but no one can cover for things like that second goal

Why was the first his fault?

Cough https://imgtc.com/w/rZPH4c5 Cough..

Ops you meant the first, to be honest he could have saved it..

Hahah, is it seriously people moaning at this?

Yep haha I've just Got half a eye on it on my phone. Don't give two flying fooks about it lol

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Thing is though, it's not just Yaya. The love-in on here for Gundogan is bewildering.

Again, in agreement.

Sadly, it does appear as though Gundo's injuries may have dulled the great player he obviously was.

If you read the thread you would see I was being sarcastic and in full agreement with you really.

Sorry pal.

Would people stop wetting there pants, this is pretty much a fringe squad playing a champions league game against a decent team, every one wanted us to rest players for the derby and we did, if we picked a full strength team and picked up injuries etc all hell would have broke loose, damned if we do damned of we don't
