That was so poor from Bos

 

[Pasquali]

2-2 away isn't that bad i guess

 

[LFC]

Their first goal was such bullshit lol. Where the fuck did they pull that from? Why didn't they do that against anyone else? Like, it's completely our fault for not even trying to kill the game off, but that was supremely bad luck. That guy will never score a goal like that again

yep
we have this do it the hard way in everything.
every single moment/decision takes forever our way.
The play, the bounce of the ball, no flukey goals,VAR checks take ages, everything always on the hinge.

 

[Robbos]

Yengi, with 2 goals though he missed a few at least scores, Duke none in 11 games, hopefully seen the last of him.

Given the other results the draw is still massive.

Should never have been a draw though...

 

[grazorblade]

well still in automatic qualifying

but gee we made it unnecessarily hard on ourselves

 

[JS96]

Mental shit. Take that point but the players need a slapping.

 

[derider]

Boooo

yeah would take a draw given where we were 20 minutes ago

but apart from the calamitous mistakes we really should have put one of those big chances away

NO Pas no, that was a must win imo.
I'd take a draw if we we're clear 2nd and could cop the hit but no.

Least yes as mentioned saving the day but generally we're still surrounded and then rely on other results.

 

[Volrath2002]

Harper finally right on the point. We just have not intensity or drive going forward

 

[Keeper66]

No it’s crap. A complete lack of aggression as Harper said. The game was there to be won for 90 plus minutes, but we weren’t prepared to do the work needed to win it.

I find it difficult to believe that players choose to cut counter attacks or forward passes and instead pass backwards at every opportunity. That must be the manager's direction.

 

[grazorblade]

Destiny still in our hand

Saudi unlikely to get more than 3 points the next window. Need a big march window

 

[jas88]

waiting for VAR is the scariest thing in all of asian football..

Time to go Ryan im sorry mate. Just doesnt look assured at all he needs to be playing.

Time to give Yengi the starting role.

I think that's because our forward players kept mistiming their runs

lack of cohesian

mind you if you swap 7 players every game it is hard to get cohesian

 

[JS96]

How great the players can say it's still in our hands. They ought to be ashamed despite the mental goals to concede. Yengi much much better than Duke. Geria has to start at RWB. Matthews tidy but for that header. Once we were forced to play at the end the movement and ideas were better. We need to do it all game.

was he at fault for either goal?

 

[Villa Dan]

Garbage result we a setting the bar low if we cannot win against Bahrain home and away. Gez we got some over hyped players. Ryan has no.place in that side either. As for Poppa that was utter garbage by him to

 

[JS96]

Could and should be on 12 points....Only got ourselves to blame.
