Europa Conference League 2023/4

[Fulford]

Not good enough

 

[Dumble]

Leverkusen 2 up, Liverpool 3 down, Arsenal and City level. Conceding is frustrating but we are the only ones winning at half time for Coefficient FC (which looks a bit dead in the water).

Edit: honorable mention for Athletico Madrid

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Second leg is going to be horrible

We’ll come 4th….simples

 

[AV Dave]

They will be over the moon with that.

 

[Chieftoast]

Back to the wet look jerseys?

 

[Gillette]

It's a win. We have to be able to compete away so not a disaster.....I hope.

 

[JNB90]

Feels a bit like a loss

 

[Xchurch Villa]

This team need to learn how to see a game out.

Didn't think 2-0 was enough. Now going away with a one goal margin. Not good

I am not particularly concerned, the bigger issue is we play at the weekend and they don't.

Can we go away to Lille and draw 1-1? yes, draw 2-2? yes.

There not some impervious side hence us putting two past them.

It's a win, but very disappointed to have given away another shit goal. Our makeshift back four is beggining to creak at the seams . Just don't look solid or together anymore.

 

[Fulford]

Without Emi we would have been as good as out.

 

[The French Connection]

It’s going to be tight. Penalty practice might well be the order of the day for the coming week.

A massive Kamara sized hole in MF.

Spot on

 

[Xchurch Villa]

Dougie is going to get sent off here if he isn't careful.

I thought he was bloody poor tonight

 

["Merd"]

They’re good, no doubt about that. 3 yellows for us, none for them

7 shots on target for them and it felt like it. A certain amount of luck about the result but we can definitely score goals so I don’t think we should be too downbeat about the performance, they still have to score two more than us to win the tie.

Subs meant we became more disjointed, didn’t think they were tactical, just resting players, which seemed strange given the pressure we were under at times. Cash will be back I think, so some decisions to be made at the back, but the rest of the team will be the same.

 

[wittonite]

It's going to need a monumental performance to go through next week.
They must go into the game as favourites.

 

[Thomas Holte]

Pleased with a win, however if we play like that in France and Lille play the same way then we will be lucky to get to a semi-final.

I thought he was bloody poor tonight

And Luiz, on a consistent basis, gives away cheap free kicks close to our penalty area with stupid fouls leaving the team having to defend.

 

[wittonite]

This referee has been very lenient with them.

Too bloody right. Stonewall penalty and he just turns away.
