    Our possession for the last 15 mins can't be 10%

    Goal totally against the run of play, but as they say, any hole's a goal

    Leverkusen have had all the possession. We need to work on retaining it ourselves to relieve some pressure in matches against the top 6. Too often it’s an all-out assault for 90 minutes.

    Chalobah is our best option for retaining the ball. I'd be looking to get him Capoue and Doucs into the midfield of a 433.

    They will also work in a 532.

    We need to go to a 6 man defence on this, make sure we bring the 3 points back to SW Herts.

    I think that's why we have chosen Bayer and Ajax as opponents. Both play similar football to City and Liverpool. Arguably we are closing the gap in relation to the rest of the top six but routinely get humped by those two.

    2-1, clear handball :mad:

    When will the FA realise that we need VAR, we can't have important games like this impacted by poor decisions like that

    Difficult to tell when you play each half with a different 11 against a team from Europe, 10th August is when the serious stuff starts!

    Disaster as this result is, let’s hope the club do the sensible thing and start building a team capable of getting us promoted back to the Championship in three seasons time.

    What a great win. Gray playing pretty well baging another. Anyone got any highlights yet?

    BL are no pushovers so its a credit to rhe lads today. QPR next then? From the beauty of Austria to the toilet of Loftus Road

    Seen the Gray goal. He did his absolutely best to blast it over the bar in front of an open goal, but got it all wrong, and the ball flew into the net.

    Was thinking the same . Also Ajax , after dominating Spurs for 90 mins , were undone by long ball up to Lloriente . Which is why we played long ball the whole game .....or that might just be because we re sh1te.

    Happy with 3 points from the 2 away leagues .

    Get 4-6 points from the corresponding Home fixtures and I feel we should top the group .

    Job done.

    Once the dust has settled , and we go again , we should at least be there or thereabouts .
