Must admit I always feel embarrassed when we lose to Woolwich like we did on sunday. Legohead has spent a billion and behaves like benny hill on the touchline. We fought tonight v psg the European champions. As long as fight for shirt I'm happy.

Worth remembering that PSG beat Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Woolwich last season with much the same squad to win CL in May.

So don't understand some posters view that we should have won - sure a number of poor individual errors from the likes of Romero, Bentancur and Sarr but PSG were fortunate to be level at HT and we were probably better overall for the first hour.

So its nothing like our performance last Sunday - and its just lazy or agenda driven to conflate the 2 matches

Shape was better. Not playing fucking Palinha was a good step, because he is dreadful. Subs first and foremost. Clear to see we were wavering after the first half, we got a goal out of nowhere, but subs should've come on earlier. And who does he put on? Fucking Palinha, and waits til the 82nd minute to bring on the attacking subs. That's exactly how you chase a game right there.

It's not even like we were fantastic either. We had a decent shape for a bit, but the first half, they were in first gear, we're just used to being to subjected to the worst football seen, that you and the rest of the cult get hard over not shipping 3 or 4 in a half.

Our best player has a bad game and it's "Romero things". So you're allowed to criticise the players, but criticising our useless coach is over the line? Fucking hypocrites you idiots.

You do my head in too, so at least it's mutual my friend. I'd tell you to jog, but I don't think it'd end well with that high blood pressure of yours, seeing how angry you always are. Go outside and have a nice walk.

Agreed but the exec & transfer bods have to actually give the manager tools that he wants that fit the system he wants to play or its fucking pointless, as he then has to fit square pegs into round holes i.e Xavi.

This is the issue with the idiotic Director of football bollox, where is the coherent vision?

If you hire the man that means you believe in his system and his way of playing, but then go out and not get him any of the players he wants and players that blatently don't fit his system.

Its obvious really but seems to elude the people running this shit show.

Here here Mrs P. Like everyone I was utterly disgusted by the performance at the weekend (as I was against Chelsea).

Tonight was far from perfect but there were reasons to be cheerful / optimistic. How we surrendered was frustrating, but we gave the CL holders a very decent game on their home patch.

Apply ourselves in that way Saturday we should get a result.

But but thats not good enough. We need to win 5 nil away to the european champions to have any positives ye know

Take your own advice

Continual whining whatever the results is not helpful to anyone in fan base or the club

Going to go against the grain here and insist that Romero had every right to play that ball to Sarr. We are supposed to be a football team - if you show for the ball (like Sarr did) then your CB should trust you (which Romero did).

Now - he didn't execute well enough and Sarr should probably have hoofed it first time because of that. But it was a foul. Oppo went right through Sarr and I'm not sure he even got the ball at all.

We are supposed to attempt to play football sometimes.

From what I saw via the medium of television, I think that Sarr went over too easily, and was looking for a foul when he came under pressure from Romero's pass, when he should've got rid of the ball by any means necessary, and the ref was having non of it.
However, as previously posted, Vic's ill-judged pass to Romero initiated that whole sorry sequence of play in the first place.

I don’t agree. PSG was going 100%. I was at the match

Thomas Frank is not up to the task. He is a very good manager for a mid table side that is happy to finish top 8.

He thinks his tactics are more important than the players. At Brentford, maybe. Here, no.

I think Psg just put the foot to the floor when they needed to, plenty more in them to come, maybe not third gear but certainly not top gear for the most part.
I agree re Frank, just not got it, alright at mid table club, but then again that's where he has us.
