Fortuna will turn around when they most need it.

[Special Juan 28,191]

Men against boys, absolute rubbish

[TheHulk 2,510]

Wake me up when we buy some top class CBs.

[Special Juan 28,191]

School boy and amateurish in every goal we conceded, we have become lame and predictable to watch

There was nothing positive about tonight at all

Watching all the other big clubs highlights and they all have grown ass men in their teams from back to front..

meanwhile we field an under 21 team..

we are going nowhere in this competition.

not necessary

There are teams that develop during the season and depends a lot of the draw

we already knew that game would be tough

Oh please.

Maresca is getting pelters for tonights game. I feel for him, this board has let him down this summer. Yea we got a few decent strikers and a back up lb… but he deserved more.

Just look at the defence we are starting with… absolutely horrendous for a club of this stature.

All of the games will be tough, we just looked off the pace.  What happened to Enzo, just looks a bit slow since start of the season. 

Was hoping Lavia would be back by now to offer midfield rotation. 

Club made a mistake not going after a good CB + GK in the transfer window. 

Instead we spent 50 million on Gittens and then another 40 on Garnacho.

but someoen think that we will win this competition? lool

first step is qualify to next round and then lets see if we have some luck in the draw but step by step

It’s not that we think we will win it but the fact that we should be competing like a seriously dangerous team having spent the money we have. I know it’s boring to keep banging on about it but the facts are the facts.. 

 

[Thor 2,745]

We need to buy a CB in January. 
 

Aside from that it was 3 errors that led to goals. Cut that shit out and I don’t think that’s the worst performance away from home. 
 

Despite being makeshift in the backline - we are a BS goal away to Brentford from being second in the league. 
 

No where near as dire as made out on here.

We are finally a proper side under Blueco. Whatever happens we are a fucking team. Live to see it. 

Time to hold our horses. Not yet we are.

That's what Blueco would like you to believe.

Hopefully this result at least makes the recruitment team at least acknowledge that our defensive line is not all that its up to be, and that filling the squad with a gazillion squad level CBs doesn't do much.

Quality over quantity. Always.

Wouldn't read too much out of our league position, IMO

We've had one of the easiest starts to the season compared to some of the other contenders for top 5.

Get a positive result against Man Utd this Saturday, and then we'll talk.

The POSITIVE thing is that the boffins in recruitment have a chance to correct this slide in January with a quality CB signing. Even if that player doesn't register for CL, get him for the league games.

The sad thing is they had a chance to do this same thing last season, but they decided to penny pinch and recall Chalobah for free.

And now we have squad level CBs everywhere. Some of them like Disasi can't even be moved.

I'm also doubling down on what I mentioned in the Brentford game. We should have started with better players for that game, instead of saving our best for this one

This one Bayern game is largely inconsequential compared to the other winnable fixtures in the CL group stage. No big loss, because Bayern were the favorites anyway.

Now we have to worry about which of our players (looking at James, Palmer) will be fit enough to play against United.

Another game which we should be winning.

[bigbluewillie 1,930]

When will Maresca learn....if ever.

That James is not a MF and Fernandes is not an AMF, had he addressed at least these two options things might have been different, and I do mean in a good way.

Bayern were definitely there to be gotten at and we had chances first half. Experience and quality make or break teams, they have that in abundance. We need that. They managed to get through a difficult moment then woke up. 

Look at the all the teams that won titles here, quality, knowhow, experience, big personalities. There are a few older lads in the group already but more experienced and stronger personalities are needed definitely. 

Regardless, we made it easy for them. Like against Brentford at the weekend. And several times last season and the one before that. We are a soft side. Media and supporters keep saying we are a “young side with not a lot of experience” but the only way that is going to change sooner than later is with adding a couple of guys who have either the right quality/experience/mentality/personalities to help the younger guys.

Big games aren’t necessarily just about outperforming the opponent from the get go, you’ve got to manage the game and get through moments where the other teams have the better of it. We don’t have that quality or knowhow at current & doubtful we will get it going down this path again.
 

I thought against PSG Maresca and the boys showed a bit of that but it’s been too few and far between in his & Poch’s tenure.
