Bordeaux post match

[The_weatherman]

Anyone realise that this was Bordeaux's second with pretty much zero first team players?

Second string then? Did they play the reserves too?

[QUOTE=BigChief;3172760]Can was awful. From being a man for all occasions last season, this season he can't seem to play anywhere. All game at RCB he was running away from his position to join arms with Gomez when it wasn't needed. Twice balls landed in exactly the place he vacated, and both times should have been punished with goals (one was).

Really enjoyed not having Toure on the pitch, Gomez running out with the ball was fantastic. Just as Bordeaux pressed us high, Gomez would simply stride out and have the forwards making energy sapping shuttle runs to get back. Sakho was immense and I felt let Gomez get on with it while offering support when needed.

Ibe is ****, he's worse than ****. I rated Rodgers and Ibe and look what's happened. I don't like any of our players anymore, they're all ****. Specially Sakho, Coutinho and Sturridge. ****.[/QUOTE

My Dark ... dark secret ... I dont Rate Can

Really living up to your avatar's name there aren't you?

An away point in europe which we kind of controlled most of the game, think when he brought brannagan on we lost what shape we had ... they drew 2-2 to PSG .... I am not mad ... and yet I am not exactly farting rainbows either ..

It was kind of ok

They were gifted both the goals against PSG, I don't think we should read too much into that. Even though the result is acceptable it wont change anything for me, I do fear though that we will not take the competition seriously.

Only when the team is built around him. Try to put him in a formation that even slightly takes him out of his comfort zone = red card.

Seems so. Their previous game with PSV, none of those players were in the team for us. Yet almost 3/4 our team were first team players.

Probably not given they only made 3 changes from their last game.

Don't know where you read that. They made 3 changes from the 2-2 draw with PSG on the weekend.

No. They made only three changes.

[wiw]

It's depressing seeing how aimless and clueless our attacking is, it was just like watching the first team. Front 6 looking like strangers who've turned up for a kick about, it just looks completely broken. Even when we get in good positions whoever is on the ball ****s themselves and has a shot. Just calm the **** down and ping it about

We had Mignolet, Coutinho and Gomez who I would say are regulars, Coutinho was playing presumably to get his sharpness back after being suspended for the last game, Gomez is a teenager who had played 5 games for us before yesterday and his previous experience was in the lower leagues. Can, Lallana, Ibe, Moreno Origi and Ings are all squad players, (Can has only come in to the side due to injury to Henderson) Sakho should be a first teamer but isn't. Toure will hopefully only get games in the EL and league cup

John Henry was delighted with the draw

My bad. Looks like the article I read has been taken down since it was completely wrong.

I dont know. Moreno, Can, and one could argue Lallana were all first team players last season. Moreno replaced with Gomez who is now first team. Although Can still plays in all our games.
