Gets so fcuking boring.
That is an irrelevance, and I expect nothing but our weakest line-up.
If that is your hope then deary me..
It’s fair, and you’re right having watched it and coming out the other end we should be more comfortable.
We just always have to give away that soft goal it seems, like it’s embedded in us. When really, in hindsight there wasn’t a whole lot of threat on us, I can’t recall Vicario making a save.
At the end of the day, it's a two legged process and we've still got the second leg to come. Too early to start bragging. Google the half-time tannoy announcement for Cup Final tickets in the 1987 League Cup Semi-Final for an example of what can go wrong if we get ahead of ourselves and rub people up the wrong way.
So far, so good. If we can produce more of the same for the second leg, we have every chance of making it to the Final.
I'm dreading the prospect of facing United. I can't bear the thought of losing to them in the Final after beating them three times this season.
True,but although the premier league form doesn't reflect it we do have a better team than any of those lot.
(Assuming maddison and solanke aren't out)
We just have to go there, defend, hit them on the break and then change if necessary.
Postecoglou MUST be pragmatic

A Long with conditions and pitch we also might be missing a couple more players next week and they have around 4 back regarding suspensions etc.
Looked like muscle injuries again for madders and Dom.
This is more than okay of a result honestly. That should do the job in fact.
There's no need to sugarcoat it, this Bodo team is Championship caliber. Were they even better than Elfsborg when the latter played here few months ago? Either artificial pitch is the ultimate cheat code, on par with extremely high altitude, or Lazio just suck(ed).
Either way, there's no excuse for failing to advance. And I think we will go through, more comfortably than some seem to think here.

All focus is on next Thursday mate. I wouldn't be getting your knickers in a twist this Sunday
Think we did enough to go through. I expect we will score at least 1 up north and that should be enough to see them off, hopefully.
Thought this was about as underwhelming a 3-1 win with 24 shots could be. I didn’t think we really got out of second gear the whole night.

They were missing some of their best players supposedly tonight. Saying that think son would've grabbed a brace tonight with some of the space they were leaving
But I think it's the surroundings that is the great leveler for them. Tamworth ironically might have been the perfect experience for us
As long as we play smart and counter there attacks next week we will be fine but please don't sit back and play into their hands they will be relentless from the off we need to only score 1 to kill their confidence
3-0 it’s done. 3-1 it’s not. And I feel they will be pretty content to chase back 2 at their place. They win 70% of their games @ home in Europe and we are a bit prone to a dramatic shit of our pants.
I felt happy @ 3-0. Leaving the stadium I felt a bit worried and not happy. That’s Spurs under Ange ( and everyone else )

...hang on, that caution didn't last long!
I thought you said we had a 2nd leg to navigate first!?
I can't see anything else than a comfortable win over United in the final.
I don’t see anything in any of our attacking players
We are so disjointed everyone feeds off scraps
I can’t predict what will happen: obviously the prospect of a team with the 9th highest income in world-football rolling into town with a 2 goal advantage against a tiny club with a 8k stadium in the furthest realms of Norway which a large number of people ( even in Scandinavia) have NEVER heard of ; would suggest it should be a walk-over .
But believe me Kaz Hirai ; it could not go completely to plan .
I’m always optimistic but sometimes in all our lives a healthy dose of realism “ happens “ .
It would be unrealistic to do otherwise.
Lazio are currently 7th in Serie A and they also beat Mourinho's Roma 6-1 back in 2021, calling them "Championship Caliber" is a bit harsh.
