I had a feeling we were going to regret missing that
My day is ruined.
Same
yknow, a draw away in Europe is not a bad result, but I can’t help but feel bored especially after the thrill of the last two matches lol. Kinda expected this though.
Yeah but also no cushion room if things go tits up. Porto on the eye has been the better team.
Gotta look at these as 180 minute matches. We should have more reinforcements by then.
Partey might be back so that’s good. Hopefully Tomi or Zinny, but I thought Kiwi did fine
think it’s mostly away in Europe tax, and we have had the possession.
they’re still a great team and all, but i’m not sure we can’t beat them.
We’re also not pressing as hard as we were in the beginning, to my eye… are we looking to make a big tactical change in the second half maybe?
I’m just hoping Mikel is able to calm them down at the half
Honestly, even if we did score from a corner I would assume that the ref would see any of 5 fouls happening at the same time and call it off.
Lads need to calma
Jorginho on at halftime maybe? (I am not currently watching while walking to my dorm lol)
Definitely could help with leadership. The only one who isn’t rattled is Øde. Even Rice is uncharacteristically jumpy.
Rice being on a yellow this early is probably why
(Luton v Liverpool) what a coincidence, they sub Lokonga off and Liverpool immediately go ahead
Thank Jeebus for Wilo
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Havertz is good at getting the ball down, but doesn’t seem to have the best judgment in quickly picking out passes.
Feel like you’ve gotta put Vieira on this game, who knows when the next time he’ll get to play in this stadium.
That ref really likes dealing cards
Think the pre-match coverage said he gives out 4 yellows per match on average. This match has been a bit chippy however, and the Porto players are definitely trying to play up their home advantage
They are defending quite well
On the other hand, we’ve looked off our game all night.
We need to just take it home.
I don’t know if I agree. But I hope so, especially after that nonsense
Yay corner. Yay.
We look somewhat unsettled. Hopefully we figure it out soon.
this went from being an ok result to a yeeesh result
Honestly, it started out as a yeesh result. Attack completely nullified, wasteful set pieces, saved by divine intervention three times in two seconds, and chance after chance fluffed. Now it’s a howler.
@sensiblepuffin new ref new players available, hope springs eternal
away days in Europe are never easy.
We were totally not in it and they really frustrated us to no end.
