Zenit: Post Match

[Gibbo]

Sounds daft but it feels like we've just lost a cup final.

[Imy]

Defensive mistake(s) cost us again, the story of the season really.

Suarez was magnificent as was Lucas.

With hindsight substituting Henderson and bringing on Shelvey was a poor decision.

[Rich]

Shelvey's introduction was an error, he's really regressed. Offered very little bar his obligatory wild lunge.

[Arn]

Good performance by the lads.

Probably no european football next season. Lucas is back to his best. Gerrard fantastic and Suarez showed yet again that only Messi is a better player than him.

Sometimes I wonder if Shelvey have a brain at all. So much heart and passion but totally brainless tackles.

[Gibbo]

we don't have a game,we should have played swansea.

Eh? Thought it was Wigan on ESPN?

But fair enough!

It was always going to be a 'transitional' season. Replace transitional with **** and I'm closer to the mark.

Ah well...

[Tee]

So close.....but lots of positives.

Lucas is back. Luis is the best ever. Enrique looks like version 1 again. Assaidi showed Downing and Sterling how you beat a full back.

Shelvey should have put us through. Was an easy chance tbh but hey ho.

YNWA

He should have given himself 5 mins to reassess after the goal went in. It was stupid to change 2 payers right after a goal when our tails were up.

Absolutely. But Shelvey is proving himself to be substandard with every appearance. Very disappointing.

Great match though.

Exactly. After we scored I expected to see him tell Shelvey to hang on when the camera was on them. Poor decision.

Bless

Shut up

It ain't hindsight - Henderson's energy (again) really helped mesh the team together.

Come on, we're a massive ship being captained by a guy using a GPS sytem from Argos.

[sambirken]

Don't want to be too critical because the manager set the team up really well and we played fantastically buuuuut the substitutions really took the wind out of our sails. We were playing really well and then we brought on Shelvey Assaidi and Sterling. All of whom did nothing and, to be honest, I could have told you that before they came on.

We just won 3-1?!

[ChesterDave]

Luis was ace. Took it on alone far too much but he was so pumped up and desperately to be involved. Really don't think he is going anywhere this summer.

Compare his attitude now compared to Torres when he wanted out. Worlds's apart. Thats a guy who still wants to be at this club.

Enrique was very good tonight too. Barely put a foot wrong all night
