The players dont give a fuck. Who is he trying to kid
Totally agree, wasn’t accusing you personally of that viewpoint.
The lack of a sense of fun playing these different teams from different leagues when they are obviously proud and worthy opponents is a shitty attitude, IMO.
The Rennes away leg was a great atmosphere too and unlike this a cracking game.
I feel for the fans who travelled. That was hard to watch.
Is that markanday?
The fact that Vitese are taking it seriously really is not a stain on our reputation in any way. The history you speak of is just that the past. The demands of the leagues that Vitesse play in are now so different to ours in regards to squad attrition and finance they can no longer be compared.
This tournament is a bogus afterthought by Uefa in a misguided attempt to hoover up what little cash is left. In terms of prestige it is below us and if Vitesse played in the Premier league because of the finances and media it would be below them.
We were champions league finalists under three years ago whatever our historical parallels we are now on a different trajectory to them. I don't like the way the game has gone, but pretending it isn't so is just denial. I'm delighted we are not seriously commiting our first team to this joke tournament we just can't afford to.
Desperately unfair on the kid to be thrown in against grown men, get no service and depend on dross like Winks. Everytime he gets a game it's a hopeless cause.
Bet he can't wait for the next Europa Conference away game. 90 minutes getting kicked about with zero scoring chances.
Not you granted, but there's plenty of strong criticism about for each (Skipp excepted, but he's a veritable newbie!).
He's been no more absent than Romero & Emerson, but they're making inroads as starters and they just arrived (this is Gio's 3rd year!).
Personally I'd agree, but again, there's a perception out there that he can and has in the past; be that here or at other clubs.
Whether I rate Argentina's national team is a different conversation..... It's about whether Gio deserves sympathy on the basis that he gets to moonlight with Messi's mates once in a while.
This is his day-job and he's looking increasingly un-invested.
In theory he does, but if that's the case in actuality why can't he show it a in lesser competition such as the ECL?
......In the meantime he's being outperformed for goals and assists by PEH. The plot thickens.
Perhaps if he was more reliable and consistent and helped us keep the ball better, we could afford to not play with 2 more defensively inclined MFs.
Not on current form he won't; nor will Nuno change our set-up without good cause.

Didn’t watch. And didn’t even remember we had a game until half time. I think that reflects how low my interest in “our” club has gotten. Damming.
Can’t say the reports and result surprise me at all.
Nuno’s “we are gonna make you Proud” statement seems pretty hollow. But if you only have one senior striker and piss poor squad depth what is he meant to do ?
West Ham away looks like another 3-0 job, based on the attitude of the club it won’t matter.

He'll get his chance in a couple of weeks.
There is absolutely no reason to wet the bed on this. Yes the squad is in a rebuilding phase and this result is not an indication of where we are on the path.
The fact we threw a team together who haven’t played together and left the best 11 at home is an indication of its importance in the scheme of things. If Nuno wanted a result here he would have loaded the sub bench. West Ham is a much more important game.
More investment in the team is needed.
Thing is, that end of things ought not to be a consideration. We have 11 players that ought to be committed to forcing their way into the starting XI, yet the most senior players on the night can't embrace the opportunity to do so.
We had £158m vs £5m on the pitch tonight (with no doubt a similarly astronomical wage difference)..... I don't blame, Nuno, history or ENIC(*) for tonight.
(*even the striker issue should have been at most an inconvenience)......
Whether or not one gives a crap about the ECL trophy itself; the shit we saw tonight is a common occurrence and was just as evident in the Europa league last season.

You can hate on Spurs all you want, you already do most days ... Spurs have the 5th ranked squad in the EPL according to every site on the net ... is that even a debate?
Premier League - Club market value
Take your boots, I'm sure you can show them how it's done.
Troll
But Nuno should sit the useless cunt down, play that to him and ask WTF was he thinking of
Nightmare of Royal Antwerp stiĺl remains
