FC Bordeaux (A): The Match

[Fierce]

I think this game proves that parachuting Sakho in for Lovren won't make much difference

I dunno. Imagine how bad we'd be if he did play?

[danperkins]

Well we came for a draw and somehow we got one.

[Maxiedge]

Can is a bit of a liability

yeah, I'm starting to come to this conclusion too...

[McDermotX]

Still worth doing, but we'll continue to struggle even if he's put in a straight back four, without a different approach further up.

[Kenneth]

Pretty dismal overall.

[DeanoUK]

Pretty dismal overall.

Yeah.

[Fredo]

I don't know, I watched the second half and I thought it was a solid performance away from home in Europe. Not great and **** defending for their goal, but not disastrous. We've been keeping the ball much better than what we have been all season in that second half. I think 3 at the back might give us a better balance but we don't have the players to make that work long term, especially in attack.

"Lets not forget that this is a very good side who drew with PSG last week, which makes us as good as them by default"

Its inevitable that part of this line comes out post match

However, can't complain about that tonight, a draw away in Europe is usually a good thing.

[Lecter]

Think Sakho has done very well tonight, bit rusty but that's expected. Can't wait for him not to be played in the league.

Might be waiting a while knowing Brendan

We did not concede 3 or more goals.

[McDermotX]

Jesus........that equaliser was ****ing horrendous.

[el matador]

I went away at nil-nil to make some gazpacho and came back and it was 1-1.

The gazpacho was great. The game wasn't.

It's not three at the back though. It's three CB's & two wing backs. So we are going out there with an unnecessarily defensive formation. That's a travesty, horrible tactics that put us on the back foot and invites teams to attach and completely undervalues our attacking talents.
