Club Brugge - 1st Champions League Game - Post Match Thread 0 - 3

[Sharpe's Fox]

Football should be like boxing. Then we'd be champions of England and Belgium.

[The Doctor]

Fantastic. Not convinced by Hernandez - caught out by the winger time and time again, better side would have punished him. Otherwise they were all excellent.

[richardsfoxes]

The boys are back in townnnnnn

[Webbo]

Couldn't have gone much better, mind you, we probably won't play a worse side than that this season. You'd think the worse we could finish in this group is 3rd.

 

Albrighton MOTM for me goal + a lot of hard work in defence and attack. Apart from a free kick and penalty Mahrez didn't really do a lot but I hope that gives his confidence a boost.

[SecretPro]

Spurs and Real Madrid lose at home. Great day. 

[Spiritwalker]

Very professional job carried out superbly.

[ozleicester]

What a time to be alive

[Benji]

Apparently we're going to embarrass the Premier League in this competition. 

[urban.spaceman]

Stunning performance. 8+ for everyone. Never been prouder. I'm off to change my trousers. 

[Ric Flair]

They were one of the dirtiest and worst teams I have seen since some of the horse muck we played in League One. They were diabolical and that's a massive confidence booster for us after Saturday.

 

Albrighton was everywhere, Amartey was a boss. Hernandez caused absolute bedlam with his throws and Slimani is going to be so important to us. He's physical, aggressive but very mobile. Great to see Mahrez break the free kick hoodoo and get a penalty after his recent miss.

 

All in all a perfect night pretty much. It feels good this does.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

You can only beat the team in front of you and whilst Brugge were undeniably shite, 3-0 away from home is a great start. Lots of positives for us despite some frailties. Hopefully we can continue in this mode in the CL and it will boost domestic performances too. Albrighton mom for me but some excellent hard working games all round. 

[blueharmie]

3 - 0 away from home. 

Holy mother ****ing cow. Amazing.

Hate to be the one to break it to you.... But check the Madrid score.

[The Guvnor]

Piece of p#ss this Champions League malarkey

[TrentFox]

Nobody - in the entire history of football - has a better win ratio in the top tier of European football than LCFC. Stop the world. This will do. 

[foxoffderby]

That's cheered me up after Liverpool well done boys.

Albrighton played well and Hernandez had a better game

[sly1]

Brilliant to easy take that get in boys 

[Merging Cultures]

Yeah look who is ruining the coefficient, I'm looking at you Spurs.

[ajthefox]

Hope everyone in Brugges has an absolutely top night and gets home safe, sounded very good on tv.

[Croaker]

So happy to see Riyad get his first goal of the season. Still not sure I want him taking the penalties though!

[shen]

Brilliant result, brilliant debut in the CL! Dream stuff.

I will still maintain that we weren't scintillating, but that should not take anything away from a win that was rarely in doubt beyond the seventh minute.

I'm not sure we can get away with leaving so much space in front of the defense against better opposition, but let's hope Ranieri sees it and fixes it for when we inevitably play tougher opposition in the group

[foxes_rule1978]

I can see why even Liverpool won this competition in the past decade, piece of piss

[Aus Fox]

So would we prefer to finish in the Europa League or not bother?
