Atalanta are on a poor run at the minute but still managed a draw against a star studded arsenal team so we might be behind the couch again when we visit.

Brendan is a very poor manager at cl level, some say he's elite maybe now they can see he's not even close to that.

It's obvious and disappointing that even after years of experience in Europe he has evidently not moved with the times and progressed.
What I will say, is that as a club we have also regressed in terms of ambition and willingness to improve our tattered European reputation. We may never win the big cup again, but at least we should not have allowed ourselves to fall so far behind, considering our claim to be a big club.

He was the safest appointment at the time ange left. we knew he would win domestically. we also knew he / his team had our worst defeats in our history in europe . so why the surprise when he does same again. he either can't or won't change style / system / set up against the better teams . he / his teams will compete with the lesser teams like ourselves . is that enough? . I wanted Knudsen but would he have been better? . it would have been a big step up and could he have stood up to our board to get his vision of a team? . it also doesn't help that between him, ange and the recruitment team we've spent approximately £25 million on centre backs with only one (ccv) being possibly good enough at this level . question. do we be content with winning domestic doubles/ trebles and knowing we are most likely to be getting embarrassed in Europe or do we need change?

Wasted millions on players who don't get a game then moved on. At that level we need 2 CH and LB RB as ours is woeful.

Our midfield exposed our defence terribly, and only 1 of 2 wingers tracked back, not convinced with trusty seems like a slow CB.
