I watched the Slovaks vs Brann. Absolutely appaling team.

Yes and now they are out we've got the superior Slovaks coming for us.

Huffed and puffed against a team who make chocolate as part of their training regime.

I took no notice of that competition for a very good reason. It's pony.

I was wrong anyways, it was Gent lol, genk knocked those out the next round though anyway, also beat Bilbao, and reached the QF mate.

The heavens have absolutely opened here.....wetter than this forum here!!!

Reflecting on the game, we wasn't good enough. Gana looked uncomfortable so far forward at times, Schneiderlin is way way off the pace, Klassen needs a better understanding of those around him he was headless at times. DCL never received anything to really work with and didn't look able to create anything out of what got anywhere near him. Cuco was unlucky with his header, played decent passes along the deck but like pretty much everyone else not a lot to ponder or get excited about. That said, Rooney and Sandro, these two will do big things this season

It's a pony competition with the biggest prize though.

Aye mate already realised that, they got knocked out by Genk though i think, unless i'm mistaken AGAIN ;o

Just seen that they got to the quarter final of the Europa League last season, narrowly missing out on a semi final spot. So they aren't exactly a pub team and their season starts next week.

Koeman may still want to sign another CM.

Yep Genk won 2-5 in the first leg. Was a brilliant match.

Gent also beat Valencia, Zenith and Lyon the year before in the CL so they tend to cause upsets from time to time.

I blame the net spend

 

[Smig1878]

I just checked and Genk are one week ahead of us in pre season.

They ran rings around us fitness wise. Off the ball they were very good and closed every one down.

in as much as I've derided our performance, in fairness I do think they were well organised, up for it and they have a couple of good players there too.

I didn't even watch the game but if we can't stuff an 'amateur' Belgian side by 6 then what the hell has £100mill gone on???!!!
