That team wasn’t going for it.
Why were we never winning it? We are joint on points with you and already beaten Spurs and Arsenal?
I don't think you have the squad depth to fight on both top 4 and Europe League. You would have fallen at one point. I think now to focus on the league will be better.
The final ain't two legs and if it's Arsenal, I can see it being a coin toss.
There's no Inter Milan on the other side either, which I thought were the only team that could beat us to it last season. Basically competing with Spurs and Arsenal for it
If we still can't beat Arsenal, then we truly are fecked and serious questions need to be raised about Ole and the mentality of the squad. Arsenal are absolutely awful.
They were lucky not to be knocked out tonight
We’ve literally been missing half a team for most of the season each week. Our squad is far stronger than you think.
I don't know how you played but you were in your strongest lineup, I think Brentan took this very seriously.
Yep. Fact of the matter is we are the only team left in the Europa League that has a Champions League squad. Anything but winning the competition should be seen as a disappointment.
Very true but would still rather avoid the likes of Roma, Villarreal, & Milan so that we can continue to give minutes to the likes of Amad & Shola in the next round at least.
You were never winning it cause you were destined to fall at the first hurdle, as is the Rodgers tradition
This does not slip!You were never winning it cause you were destined to fall at the first hurdle, as is the Rodgers tradition
Eh... how is that our strongest lineup?
Were you worried about the coefficient when you got knocked out of the Champions League?
That was probably the worst night of my life in recent memory and yes.
Not sure about the strongest line up but it looked like strong line up from the available squad.
Again, it overlooks the fact 34 year old Vardy is having to play every minute as we have no other fit striker and he's carrying a problem. The fact Tielemans has to play further forward in the 10 as we have no fit 10's, then meaning we play two DM's and have zero creativity as our other creative CM is injured. Ndidi is only just back from injury and again, shouldn't be playing every game at the minute. Ricardo and Castagne being managed due to only just being back from injuries. Ricardo's being an entire year out.
I want Tottenham to get them.
The fact that you used your best striker who was back from injury or carrying a problem, used your best midfielder who was back from injury shows how Rodgers wanted to field the strongest possible line up.
I'm saying we didn't really have much choice to field most of them. We had no other striker.
Injuries as far as I know. Theo, Rebic, Calhanoglu, Ibrahimovic... pretty decimated.
Oh man that sucks. They looked pretty decent still though. Would have been interesting to see how their first team might have done.
The English aren't exactly famous for their knowledge of football outside their bubble. Their panel for the 2010 WC was a classic
Was he not being sarcastic perhaps?
