GuttedBiggest issue was in the middle of the park but considering both kamara and youri are out we had no options there at all and both doug and sjm looked fucked tonight for whatever reason. We were bullied there, they won all the second balls they punted up and so often both those two were the wrong side of the ball.We had no luck at all, denied a clear penalty which was a critical point in the match and the 4th crushed us in all honesty.The step down from pau to lenglet is dramatic, digne needs a rest and cash does affect things positively but defensively isn't the smartest.The refs in this competition have been a joke, trying to stamp their mark on the game with big gestures and having little to no control on the game.Olympiacos have an excellent coach it has to be said, and he did a number on us tonight.
I don't think we played that badly but we looked nervous or hesitant from the start. A 2-4 scoreline flatters them. Everything that could go their way did & where it didn't the ref ignored it.The penalty miss is crucial, a 1 goal deficit & we have a good chance, but 2 goals seems too much given our inability to keep clean sheets.

Not really necessary, no?Why? The more important thing is more likely now than it was two hours ago. We're a bit closer to the thing that matters.
