Surely now know to Get rid of steele in the summer and get a bleeding decent shot stopping keeper in, it might tempt bloomy to get some experienced players in, by that I mean not geriatrics like milner and Lallana.

Less rotation (unless forced) so we may be able to build some consistency. We can start by playing Bart from now to the end of the season.

Tbf we’ve been f***ed by injuries man
That has nothing to do with the level of performance of the 11 that started
I watched on tv and to be honest most of them looked terrified when waiting in the tunnel to come out
Negative very fearful energy and that completely was reflected in what happened when we kicked off
I haven’t seen us give the ball away that much for ages

Given it was a team full of youngsters entering an enormous, noisy and famous stadium in one of our most important games ever are you surprised?
 


Zero shame being knocked out by a team of such quality and with such a European pedigree, at least it wasn't some tinpot twat of a club like Qarabag
That’s right. The first Roma goal was unbelievable quality, great pass and the run by Dybala to beat offside was world class. Even despite Dunk’s mistake for second, Lulaku (who can be hit and miss) contrived a superb finish just inside the post.

Forest won’t be as brilliant as that. But it’s obvious the recent games have sapped the confidence of the team. Will be a big ask on Sunday for Di Zerbi to lift the spirits against a team fighting for their lives. But that’s where he now has to show what he is made of

Four players in their 30s and the same youngsters pretty much who entered similar stadiums in Amsterdam,Athens and Marseille so no excuse really. Maybe accept that there has been a complete loss of confidence lately and that last night was our first 3 consecutive losses under RDZ
Something is not right with them
Hopefully just temporary and hopefully a reaction on Sunday but I won’t be holding my breath personally

Bart would not have stopped any of the 4 goals last night

Just having a settled defensive unit is important, and what almost every successful team has been based on.

…………….….Verbruggen …………....
Veltman … van Hecke … Dunk … Perv

Until the end of the season please. Lamptey and Igor to provide fresh legs around 60-70m and to give the others a rest.

Absolutely this but I don’t think it will happen

Burnley away definitely won't be moved so I've booked my train

(If a miracle does happen I will be more than happy to lose out on the £60 forked out)

Perhaps will give a reminder of where we are at as a team despite the hype.. often inflated by the media. If we want to compete with the giants of Europe more regularly we have to be more consistent and continue to invest.

One of the most exciting seasons we are likely to ever experience but still feel we could have achieved more

The pre match Buzz chants when he first came out.

"Super, Super Buzz, Super Buzz, the kitman" which he was filming on his phone

"Kitman give us a quiz"

And the one that had me PMSL and Buzz too by the looks of it..... a few thousand singing.

"Get your Kits out for the lads"
