I think the goal showed why Dawson isn't in the long term plans. Very slow off the mark. Shame, I love a bit of Daws :dawsonwtf:
Thought after the first five minutes we were gonna cruise to a 3-0 or 4-0 as we absolutely battered them. Unfortunately think the players thought the same thing, we ended up absolutely dire all over the pitch by the end. Was a quality goal from them though, I don't think any of ours can take the blame..
The problem with the Europa, most of the teams are assumed to be crap so players never get up for it. I don't advocate the harry "lump on all the youth players and see what happens" approach, but I think you need to mix it up and instill some enthusiasm
Pissed off. Really looked forward to this year's europa league only for the players not to turn up. 
Frustrating maybe but let's not get ahead of ourselves. 2 draws yes, thanks to shit officials against Lazio and then our usual complacency after a big win, that led to a draw today.
That is the first time this season they've gone out on the pitch looking like that so it's now a case of how he picks them up/fire rockets up arses. If he does (which he will) then we'll coast it

Don't think any manager in England that gets in Europa frequently has yet figured out how to motivate a team in Europa. If your pushing for CL it can only feel like a runner up prize.
Well that was fucking shit
But....
On the plus side some bloke I work with had this as the last result on an accumulator and won over £400.
He's promised to buy us a few pints tomorrow.

I'm inclined to agree, but unfortunately we don't share the same mindset as the overpayed youth of today. Can't expect them to not be premadonnas though when they're paid ludicrous sums of money from such young age and surrounded by agents whispering sweet nothings to them
As I said before the game, AVB needed to pick more players who wanted the opportunity to try and impress AVB. Defoe and Bale have played 90 minutes and for what? Townsend, Sigurdsson and Falque were perfectly good enough to beat Panathinaikos tonight and should have started over Defoe, Bale and Lennon. Most of the players seemed to turn their minds to Villa in the second half. I didn't agree with Harry playing the kids and throwing the competition away, but if Lennon or Bale get injured, we'll need Townsend to start regularly, so surely it's a good idea to start him when the opportunity arises? I'm sure that argument was thrown at Redknapp too at times.
Makes it even worse when Liverpool's second string are beating udinese
