  1. Very difficult half: AZ are all over us but have created sfa; it’s in our hands big time.

  2. 2-1 HT.

     

     

    They’ve pressed us well and we have struggled to get out of our half for large spells.

     

     

    Having said that, they’ve created little and we’ve gifted them their goals.

     

     

    The scary thing is there’s more mistakes in us. A mountainous second half awaits.

  3. Still in the driving seat…but…holy fek this is hard to watch

     

     

    They’ve been targetting our left back all game…successfully

  4. so we moved Starfelt to the right side of defence as he has no left foot then he tries to clear the ball with his left peg and hits his right one ,then the balls in the net, dearie dearie

  5. Hart equally culpable for the first goal. Too casual by far. Starfelt is crap and has been to blame for a goal in every game we have conceded. Terrible footballer. Another centre half need ASAP. Soro for Rogic now. Huns will destroy us if we play with that back 4.

  6. They are a good side with proven quality.

     

     

    We need to find our feet and a solid defence quick.

  7. Actually i take it back Starfelt has got some talent to achiever what he did.

     

     

    Dearie me

    Plenty of possession and aggressive pressing from AZ but only one meaningful save for Joe Hart in first half . We have gifted them both their goals. Could go either way .

  9. And we hardly have defensive reinforcements on the bench. Bitton? Too slow. Soro? Too erratic.

     

    Bolingoli? Bomb scare.

     

    Big Tam has played well but will be out of gas soon. Turnbull and McGregor also struggling with the pace of the game. I think we are in bother. Hope I’m wrong. We need another Kyogo goal in first 5 minutes.

    Would be very surprised if Alkmaar could keep this pace up for more than 65mins…mibbe we’re doing a Rope-a-dope ;-))

     

     

    fingers crossed lol

  11. Rogic, abada, KF, RC, AR are not in the game and AZ have still done fugginall. There is hope and it shines flouescent.

  12. Back 4 are all poor with no protection from midfield.

     

     

    Starfelt confirming what most thought.

     

    A dud.

  13. Well, the early goal did calm the nerves, shame it was only for a few mins. Their second goal was a joke – really poor technique by Starfelt when under no pressure.

     

     

    Let’s see what Ange does at HT. We’re under a lot of pressure in midfield, and Rogic is struggling to find any time on the ball. Other than the comedy goals, we’ve done ok and are matching them in all areas. The problem is our central defense which just looks shaky, especially with the long balls pumped up field.

     

     

    Need to keep this at 2-1 for a long period. I fear AZ will find too much energy for us if they get a sniff of a win.

     

     

    Good game of football for the neutrals but nerve-wracking in MN.

  14. If hart had gone in full pelt and wiped the boy out we would be down to ten!! the issue was he was a fraction of a second too slow to react but when you think your CH is going to cushion it back to you it takes a fraction of a second to react if he doesn’t. Harrison and Sutton are being arses!!

  15. We are being pressed hard by a very good footballing team and a very noisy opposition crowd, it is showing up those that cannot play at this level and under this pressure. Big team talk and use of subs for the boss now.

  16. Garngad to Croy on

    AZ look like they could score at will in the 2nd half, so get Eddy on and score the goal(s) required. Attack Attack!

  17. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    We ain’t winning the league with that defence. All optimism for Ibrox has evaporated on the evidence of that first half.

     

     

    Can’t defend a long ball – rule number 1, don’t let it bounce.

     

     

    The young boy at left back will get eaten alive.

     

     

    The big Swedish dud will melt in front of the bigot crowd. Who sanctioned nearly £5M for that?

     

     

    Welsh – heid the baw for that first goal son. Absolutely garbage. Tie was won until he fannied about with a nothing clearance from the keeper.

     

     

    Hart is a great signing and made a great save, but did he have a stroke before that goal?

     

     

    We’re great going forward and the huns are no great shakes, but Gerrard will figure out how to beat a team with that shite show at the back.

     

     

    Midfield are tremendous going forward, but offering zero protection to a really bad defence,

     

     

    Best will in the world, a boy still playing in the League of Ireland at 23 unlikely to be the answer.

     

     

    Excited by the new right back, but we are so weak in the middle and Taylor is just okay on the left.

     

     

    Jullien won’t be back soon enough, so why are we looking at more forwards when we need a competent defender?

     

     

    Hope we find a way to get through tonight, but it has been even tougher than I feared.

  18. agreed midfield have been powderpuff ,left the defence open too much they know the defence is dodgy time for them to stand up and be counted ,we can still s COYBIGcore here and go through

  19. Two dreadful efforts gifted them 2 goals.

     

    Ref allowing them to rough us up.

     

    I suppose its a compliment that a Dutch team playing us at home are resorting to those tactics.

     

    We still look dangerous when we do get in attacking situations, we are capable of scoring.

     

    Montgomery is going to be a great player.

     

    Next goal either way will be the winner.

  20. Some shite getting spouted here, 2 bad mistakes granted, every player makes mistakes. If we are worried about the huns putting high balls in to the box I think we are alright, Starfelt is a bit rough. In the air him and Welsh imo are ok.

  21. Can’t believe Welsh is getting any blame for their first goal. It hit his shoulder as he was letting it go back. Joe Hart completely at fault for not stepping forward and easily clearing that ball.
