I wasn't expecting too much from tonight; so - although I hate seeing us get beat in any game - it's not a crisis or a disaster; however, when we lose one goal away in Europe - it's a sure thing we will virtually collapse.
Great first half defending after snatching that goal, but we are so nervy and soft-centred in Europe and failing to keep the ball for longer than ten seconds put us under a lot of pressure, but they were a very good team once they got going.

Anyway; it's all about domestic dominance and success for me, until we get the required quality we have been crying out for in these key positions, to make any sort of progress in Europe.
The manager has come in for some stick about his record and tactics in these games and maybe so? but he has to use who is available and tonight we were second best, although Mulumbu, Forrest, and KT were excellent and Eddy took his goal brilliantly.

OAB it’s just disheartening to watch us in Europe. We never really seem capable of delivering a good result unless there is turmoil at the other clubs ie Anderlecht

55 mins of hope destroyed by our biggest weakness that we have known for many a year

Defending.

Kev T i agree if we had more solid defence maybe things may have been different.

Not just saying this cause im drunk but honestly can't remember till there that benkovic name. what's he actually done? Really need to tighten defence january but poses question if Boyata is sold, how quickly will new centre backs gel?

Regarding benkovic i've not a problem with club developing other clubs players in higher rated leagues, but i think he is going to be injury riddled player. I think he will be away back January if macguire is sold.
