Why do we play like this in Europe but the very next week take a team apart in the PL? I just don't understand. Still even though I probably already have we shouldn't get too carried away with this crappy performance, can't get much worse can it lol.

No, but judging from recent history we are as far away from winning the CL as we were when Parlour and Dixon were sent off in Lens in 1998. I stand to be corrected. But hey, let me jump on the "it's still 3pts against the hardest team in our group but not the competion" bandwagon and feign some sort of happiness.!
We put up a great performance against them 2 seasons ago and we didnt even get close to winning the trophy. Maybe its time will crave for wins instead of world class performance (not saying we have to be boring like chelsea or liverfool)Kyla said:sienna said:Well said Lewdikris.

Of course this is just one game, but I'm also talking about past games, the loss to inter. beating Kiev only at the very end. Valencia, Ajax, Roma etc. These teams came and defended with men behind the ball and we found it hard to break them down.

Pires loked like he was level but it was very close so you can understand the linesman getting it wrong.
By the way i thought Paddy was one of the best performers tonight, am i the only one?
Kyla said:I don't give a damn how many we score. I don't care for what type of goal it was either- scrappy, but our captiulation in the 2nd half was unbelievable- I don't believe in hanging on to wins by the skin of our teeth against third-rate opposition.
Mbaki Mutahaba said:Kyla said:PSV is a third-rate opposition? Cmon guys!!!! You guys are crazy. Someone claims we still in the lee dixon days? Would some of you guys be whigning with a 1-0 against PSV back then?
lewdikris said:Jazz, frankly i'd expect better from you mate.
Any English based viewers watching that on ITV should learn to see the difference between what the commentators say and what actually happened.
We won 1-0. When you win 1-0, you are going to come under pressure - but if you still f****g win, it doesn't f****g matter.
champions04 said:lol, PSV are not in the champions league for no reason. And in highbury, teams that stick ten men behind the ball always stop our game. Birmingham got a draw last season from almost doing the same thing.
kaids said:They weren't playing against a better side. They were playing PSV. The above point is moot because they could very easily have raised their game had they been required.
kaids said:You're happy? I thought you were fuming? They were a little edgey at times, saying they were s**t scared and nervous as hell is a massive exaggeration.
kaids said:Then why are you ranting when we've made a good start? The performance counts for very little, it's the points that matter. Look who won the CL last season.
kaids said:They were hardly outplayed for the whole half. PSV only started getting any decent possession after about an hour and even then Arsenal had much the better of the chances.
