Well done Harvey Barnes. Not getting drawn in to ref slagging. Just a little smirk.

In terms of performance that really was as bad as it ever gets.  That was embarrassing.  It was just lucky that the opposition was so poor.  Still, 0-0, so that's the only plus.  

 

Mods, give this massive Wendy an overwrought clown avatar

Who is he going to rotate with? We have loads of injuries, Nacho suspended too. The same players will have to keep going, they'll be ok we have a free week after Arsenal

Yes, well Hamza to start for one, Under to start too; Youri on the bench then, erm, erm you're right we've only got the U21s

What a ball he played in. Just needed finishing. 

 

That tackle and the shh after... quality lad.

I've got a sneaky feeling he might start against Villa. I think the side might need his energy.

[TheStig]

I do like the fact that Hamza gives us some hardness in midfield. Hard tackling aggressive - If only he could avoid the most "wild" tackles he could be a real asset

 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Rodgers has just criticised the officials, which he rarely does

[Ian Nacho]

Spot Hamza.

Union FS should make a tifo for the second leg that says “FOXES ARE FARMERS’ NIGHTMARES”

Or maybe SCREAMING LIKE LITTLE GIRLS EVERY TIME SOME ONE TACKLES YOU IS NOT COOL

[OhYesNdidi]

At least we know these are shite, on a decent pitch I expect us to win pretty comfortably - bunch of thugs

[Stadt]

Albrighton and Amartey was too conservative a choice as a right hand side pairing.

 

Albrighton and Pereira or Ünder and Amartey for the home leg. I’d prefer the latter.

He won the ball. Most of our bookings were bullshit. Barnes got fouled about 8 times by the same nob head who never got booked. 

[BigGibbo]

Gew on Brendan. Take that fine on the chin. Worth every penny.

[Hales]

Well done for Brendan for calling out the refs!

Needed to be said I think, and fair play to BR for telling it how it was!

Brilliant to see, as they were extremely poor. "They were very poor" highlighting the Kel and Wilf bookings for instance. 

[whoareyaaa]

not the best game ever, the ref was abolsute garbage, shame we didn't get an away goal and will be tight now beacuse of that we should have enough quality to get through though and im sure the tempo will be different in the next game

I loved Hamza in this game!

[StanSP]

Seems like this is the start of a great rivalry, resumed in about 10 years when we play them again after next week

 

[tylesta]

Wow the west ham rimming for slavia is quite weird to be honest😖

Shite game. Hopefully a totally different game back at the Kp. One off game, win it. 

 

Those of you that thought the ref was genuinely a problem have gone soft in our premiership ways. They were well up for it and really bettered us in 50/50’s and picked up majority of the second balls. 

 

Having said that, they huffed and puffed and didn’t really show any quality to score. 

Yes,  until we brought subs on they won all the 2nd balls in the 2nd half and won so many tackles they shouldn't have done.  Not the first game where Maddison in particular, when the oppo rough it up in midfield, shirks his tackles and loses his alertness for the 2nd ball.   I was calling for his replacement by Hamza 15 mins before it actually happened.  I think Hamza's appearance had a big positive effect and our performance improved from then on.

I'd have wanted more but taken a draw at the start. Makeshift Armarty and Thomas didn't disgrace themselves.

Thomas shone tonight. Got caught out once by a high, long pass. Amartey also one of our better players. If they're makeshift then we're not doing badly for strength-in-depth.

Yeah, on a better pitch (guaranteed) and with better officials (can they really be worse?) we'll smash these.

Soft and the incident is dependent on how the defender reacts, in this case he acts like a twat, if he just brushed it off it wouldn’t have been a yellow. But when you see how high his arm is and the fact he follows through across the defender it can’t really be argued. 

Its completely accidental and no intent at all. Hes just trying to use his body to get the ball. If that's a yellow, there would be several players sent off every week in the prem. They were appalling cheats and the ref fell for it. 

[Guest Manini]

Serious question: when is Youri going to next get a rest? 

[Tielemans63]

I'm disappointed with the performance but on reflection, it's another game where we've dug out a result and I'm a big believer in 'if you can't win, at least don't lose' and considering our lack of energy, their intensity and that bonehead of a ref, I think we've shown a lot of character.
