Shit show in Naples

[lozzyblue fox]

I will not be confident of beating Newcastle on Sunday but I bet they will be confident of beating us.

[Blueman1967]

rubbish defending, aided with keep ball at the back, with the pace of snail going forward

Yet many say this is the best squad we've ever had. 

I think we all need a fresh start. This era may have ended at Wembley in May.

[Finnegan]

BT Sport shut the fvck up about the Legia penalty, we're out because we've dropped points to a bunch of third world pub teams and Napoli's amateur fanclub reserve u5 B. 

[The Guvnor]

Generally we can't defend, unable to press, movement off the ball is crap, passing is bollocks. All our footballing nous seems to have gone AWOL.

WTF is going on.

I think a big part of our problem defending set pieces is we don’t have the aggression. We can train them as much as we like, we don’t have a defender that wants to win the ball.
 

Emile hit the nail on the head. In the 90s there wasn’t much of a plan other than Walsh was getting his head on any ball that got put in.

Totally agree. So we need to go out and get some nasty bastard in January and that’ll be just to stop us from getting relegated..

[Chester Dontlie]

The second half just sums up our season so far for me. Napoli weren't even playing well, they played their second string.

 

So much is wrong with the team right now, but as long as we have this "overachiever" as our manager I don't see how it can be fixed

[FoxesWalk]

Saint Maximan and Wilson must be licking their lips. 
 

Imagine corners if they still had Andy Carroll… 

 

Thank god I’m out and won’t be able to watch Brendan’s last game. 

[foxinsox]

Why are Spartak top of the group? Napoli are the same points and better goal difference, or have I missed something?

Just watch the Grand Prix in stead. It’s on at the same time and will be far more enjoyable than watching our lot getting moved about the pitch by a team we all know aren’t as good.

Defending aside we played ok, we still had the chances to get a result.

Barnes and Bertrand were the biggest problem today. Both down the left. Defensively and offensively. That left side has been a problem for a while. Soumare is a donkey, robbing a living. Barnes needs time out of the team. Simply not good enough. Wilf has disappeared and left us with an imposter. Vardy was awful. Cags first half was a clown but did much better second. Just awful! 89 mins and they are passing it around the middle of the park like we're 2 up. Fair enough BR has to take some blame but these players should take a long hard look at themselves. All stealing a living at the moment. Just simply not good enough 

Spot on

Wilson always scores against us, he's definitely gonna get two on Sunday.

You're beginning to sound a lot like Brendan...

[Philkeavo]

It would have been an absolute travesty if Spartak went out to a 98th minute penalty. I love my team with every fibre of my being but by Christ we absolutely deserve to plummet to the Europa Conference Shit League. Justice was done with the results tonight. We are a disgrace and embarrassment, no question.

To be fair Savage concisely got it spot on straight away. We should be better than Legia and Spartak. 

[Duquesne Whistle]

Rarely listened to a Rodgers interview, even when we were doing well. I can't imagine how the players listen to him every day and remain focused.

I guess they don't.

[FoxFossil]

Can see why Youri is off asap.

[Pick Good Name Later]

Is anyone honestly that surprised? Or is this the same picture we’ve been watching for well over a season now? Nothing has changed. Lost all hope anything will.

 

Joint favourites to win the entire competition and we can’t qualify out of the group. 
 

Absolutely embarrassing. Fundamentally under performing from top down. 
 

The only further damage we can inflict is if we sit on this demise without change.

[UniFox21]

Bertrand shouldn't have been brought in.

[foxes_rule1978]

Same problems, another game

Well we lacked all kinds of quality at the back, nobody has the confidence to drive forward with the ball or play balls through.

 

They were vulnerable themselves but we didn't have the quality or the bollocks to capitalise on the opportunities we had. Same goes for the game in Warsaw and Spartak at home, which is really why we're out.

 

I'm fuming to go out of this group, it's a failure. But it wasn't tonight that cost us, we were always losing tonight.
