November 24, 201510 yr It's a good result, and we rarely went passed second gear, so happy days. I shouldn't be surprised but it's a shame we never really go for it in games like these. I'm sure there's good fitness decisions behind this, but we always seem to do the bare minimum to get the job done (a balancing act we've not got right for a lot of this season). Anyway, all in our hands, at least a point at home and we top the group, can't ask for more than that. Now to spurs!
November 24, 201510 yr Hopefully Terry is ok. A 34 year old picking up a knee ligament injury isn't great. Was it his knee? It didn't look good, and he has a history of knee injuries. Bad news for the Tottenham game, I don't fancy Cahill and Zouma is a lot better alongside Terry.
November 24, 201510 yr I don't understand why people have a problem with set-piece goals. Better than no goals... No kidding, are we so good suddenly set piece goals arent good enough? From reading this thread youd think we've been struggling
November 24, 201510 yr I'm confused about what happens if we draw with Porto and Kiev beat Maccabi. All 3 would have 11 points. Porto's head to head against us would be better than us but Kiev's head to head v Porto would put Kiev ahead of Porto and our head to head v Kiev has us ahead of them?????
November 24, 201510 yr that was a rather disturbing end, glad he's ok anyway great win, baba was outstanding, but knowing jose i guess still ivan for the spurs game

Porto's head to head against us would be better than us but Kiev's head to head v Porto would put Kiev ahead of Porto and our head to head v Kiev has us ahead of them????? As it was explained to me, CFC would win the group due to Goal difference
November 24, 201510 yr Slightly flattering score line in the end but hopefully the result is a confidence booster.

Porto's head to head against us would be better than us but Kiev's head to head v Porto would put Kiev ahead of Porto and our head to head v Kiev has us ahead of them????? Surely it would have to go down to goal difference.
November 24, 201510 yr As it was explained to me, CFC would win the group due to Goal difference that'll do for me - thanks
November 24, 201510 yr 3 decent set pieces, I like that far better than I like "what a waste of a set piece" decent performance again for me highlighting we need competition for Diego's place, he just has to be finding better movement. I'm happy to see us top the group and the only worry I'm taking away from tonight's game is how is JT's back. My dismal run at the bookies isn't looking any better, I was on three nil with Oscar anytime scorer...said to the missus we'd score again in extra time. Edited November 24, 201510 yr by Chippy
November 24, 201510 yr Does that mean we are yet to qualify because Porto lost at home? That's probably not what we wanted before the night began. Anyway, good result, bring on the spurs
November 24, 201510 yr I want to see Remy start on Saturday - even the way he put himself on the line to try and win the ball ahead of their keeper tells me he is up for it. Costa probably wouldn't have made any attempt to get that ball - he's just not making the effort.
November 24, 201510 yr Beat Porto = We go through and Porto go out. Draw = We go through and Porto go out. Lose = We're out and Porto go through. Any more questions?
November 24, 201510 yr Beat Porto = We go through and Porto go out. Draw = We go through and Porto go out. Lose = We're out and Porto go through. Any more questions? How much did you bet on Kiev winning their last game? You seem to take it for granted.
November 24, 201510 yr I want to see Remy start on Saturday - even the way he put himself on the line to try and win the ball ahead of their keeper tells me he is up for it. Costa probably wouldn't have made any attempt to get that ball - he's just not making the effort. When Costa is at his best, i think his movement and finishing is better than Remy's, but when that part of his game is missing, like it is now, i think Remy is a far better player. Remy may not have the movement of Costa last season, but he can hold the ball up better, control the ball better, pass the ball better and he's faster..........he actually has better attritbutes than Costa. The 2 attributes that made Costa so good last season has disappeared it seem's. He has no movement and his finishing has been crap this season.
November 24, 201510 yr 4 set piece goals. 0 from open play. Something to be concerned about ANOTHER set play goal. Woeful. And those goals don't count as much? f**king w**kers! 4-f**king-nil away from home and still you muppets whinge? Tossers
November 24, 201510 yr How much did you bet on Kiev winning their last game? You seem to take it for granted. We can always play our reserve side and pray for a miracle.
November 24, 201510 yr Was it his knee? It didn't look good, and he has a history of knee injuries. Bad news for the Tottenham game, I don't fancy Cahill and Zouma is a lot better alongside Terry. Remember Gazza doing this play? or this play? Cahill has played good vs spudz before. Gazza will be up for it. Have some faith mate.
November 24, 201510 yr And those goals don't count as much? f**king w**kers! 4-f**king-nil away from home and still you muppets whinge? Tossers Well of course they don't count as they aren't beautiful goals (or some such crap). I will take set pieces, own goals, deflected, whatever but then I just want to win.
November 24, 201510 yr Well of course they don't count as they aren't beautiful goals (or some such crap). I will take set pieces, own goals, deflected, whatever but then I just want to win. Do we have closet Arse fans in here?
November 24, 201510 yr Do we have closet Arse fans in here? Well we do seem to be playing like them! Passy passy passy passy lose the ball.
