Olympiakos (H) Post-Match Thread

Expectations too high for a few.
When a 3-0 win is boring it tells its own story..

Innit. Couldn’t see them scoring tonight at all. We’ve struggled for goals so far this season, that’s a fact but we did well tonight and bagged some decent goals. How on earth can’t people be happy with that?

He's a dreadful commentator. Which is odd, as he was brilliant when he commentated on boxing on ITV back in the Benn/Eubank/Watson days.

Great memories there indeed

The game was a good argument for a slimmed down CL, which will never happen unfortunately.

A few positives though - Ake did well, Stones did better and hopefully the ignominy of Garcia getting picked ahead of him may finally have given him the kick up the arse he needed.

Most importantly though, Jesus did well and Mahrez was that bad that even Guardiola can't pick him on Sunday (surely?).

Negatives - Kev doesn't look fully fit and Foden is proving pretty inconsistent.

His best of the night for me was; “Valbuena is not as young as he used to be”...

No shit pal, nobody is as young as they used to be!

Benjamin Button:-)

I don’t remember any incorrect offsides or penalty shouts fella. 2 crackers changed the mood of a disjointed second half.

Loads of chances, their goalkeeper was good, we had a bit of a poor spell and could have conceded but fully deserved a win by a margin.

Never mind the game. Get on the election thread and give us news on the exit polls ;-)

Ha, you obviously didn’t see my post about Exit Polls yesterday or my solitary, long form post in the Elections thread today! ;-)

 

[Whether or not]

At the moment it is about avoiding injuries, rotating and winning games with minimum energy expended. Job done on all fronts, move on.

We dominated, but scoreline flatters in some ways. Could have been 1-1 or even 1-2 before we scored the 2nd.

Defence is improved but the last two games clean sheets have been a bit misleading.

But could have been 4-0 before 1-1 so context needed.

well chuffed-promising signs, and the squad strength is returning.

looked a different team with a recognised striker
