2 points already achieved need 9 more points for qualification.
Im not sure 11 will do although they were enough last year.
I think 13 is the safe bet.
The next game is going to be our first loss and then we must beat Sporting find a way to win against a tough Bodo and obviously not fuck it up against Pafos and then a tough game against Benfica although at home and there is also Monaco.

I think we will lose to Real win against Sporting Monaco and Pafos but Bodo and Benfica are going to be very tough.
My prediction 10 more points

Played well for a 30 minute stretch in that second half. Then just looked panicked defensively for the last 10 minutes for no reason other than fear.

The set piece defending has been an issue for far too long and shows no sign of abating.

Joao Mario should’ve cleared that ball long instead of dallying on it for the throw which should’ve been our throw. I can understand not wanting to because we subbed on Dusan for David to defend set pieces. And that sums it up - we’ve brought on a forward to take away any remaining threat of running in behind and chasing defenders just to defend set pieces. And then we conceded from one anyway.

Can't trust this defence to keep any kind of lead .

I'm losing hope for Tudor. Doesn't give Rugani a single minute in the season just to throw him under the bus tonight. Introduces Adzic with no experience and speed when leading by one goal having Zhegrova, Openda and Vlahovic on the bench. Starts freaking four CBs and 3 CMs :Sergio:

Why is nobody jumping?

Seen this so often. Gatti, McKennie, Kelly all in the area.
Your post from the live thread and I guess my initial short reply was second too late. Don't know about the other two but believe McKennie was front player and did jump but ball went over his head lol. Veiga is 6'3" and Weston 6". Anyway from what I know CBs should have main responsibility in area where play occurred. Both Gatti 6'3" and Kelly 6'3.

Another it appears sloppy set piece defending that if memory correct was issue with Max squad late in his tenure. In US football you have man and zone coverage. Don't understand why not just having each player guard a specific player. Like marking during the game. Maybe they did but just screwed up.

Amazing that despite the players coaches and years that this team can’t retain possession and play keep away.
Be perfect for back and forth passing with Loca. :rolleyes:. And we're still paying him right? :sad:
