No threat down the flanks and no support to the striker in the centre. It's no wonder we don't look like scoring.

I don't even know what that is meant to mean, why would they think they can just turn up and win?

My question is why do fans always think we can turn up and rollover everyone we play especially in this comp?

I think we should be beating this team really, maybe not just literally roll them over 4/5 nil, but yeh we should certainly expect to beat teams of this standard imo with the quality we have.

There is movement, but they look at like oh that's not complicated enough, hold it for a second and then pass backwards or sideways

We need to Paint numbers on our players' skin next match. If they can't pull shirts we should be alright.

We've gone back to how we played first half of the season. Slow, players not working hard enough or for eachother etc etc etc.
Combination of crap second string players, a lack of motivation for the Europa League, and one of Poch's most unbalanced team selections.

Well based on this match they are a more accomplished side than us.

No, we are just playing, as we did on Saturday, like a bunch of dickheads. Little flicks, Hollywood balls and a real lack of fight once again. We have almost a full strength team out and we've been outplayed but a team midtable in the Belgian league!!! I can't fucking believe this.

What's amazing is how flat and meaningless this all feels. The players don't care, the fans don't care, the commentators don't care.

It's a good job no one cares because I'd hate for people to find out that our first team has just been outplayed by Belgian also rans.

Lower the expectations?
This is a team talking about winning trophies but have no winning mentality.

I don't care how much these teams raise their game. Its about how much we lower ours. Absolutely Astonishing.

Yes of course it is, it's always about us and never about the opposition is it.

This is why people don't have any perspective, it's astounding.

the only mitigation is that the ref has been shit -- not on big decisions but these guys have been pulling tugging niggling fouls that have broken up our flow. Doesn't excuse the overall play but worth noting.
