Zinchenko is too negative. He bottles it whenever he's given an attacking option. He's safe and tidy by and large but Christ lad, take a chance every now and again.
Jesus has ring rust. He'll get there. Same for foden.
Massively disappointed with laporte so far. Needs to start getting up to speed.
All in all, that was fucking shit. A minute left of stoppage time and the fans are booing because it's just keep ball, walking pace. Danilo stood with it, doing nothing. Sane on a run but Zinchenko plays it back instead. Some will probably go on about us being spoiled. If I was there I would've booed that also. Losing at home and you're showing fuck all bollocks to get an equaliser. I don't care if the tie is over, I'm not having my team doing that.
I hope pep leathers them.
Very pleased sane didn't hide and tried to make it happen. Same for Diaz.
I was tempted to travel over for this game. If I forked out cash for that drivel tonight I’d be livid.
I love the fact Foden got 90 minutes and Diaz got decent time and did well.
But why do they need to be blooded with Yaya, who hasn’t got a playing future with us.
Yes our first team got a rest but, I’d love to see our youngsters get time with the likes of Kev/Dave/Fern around them.
When the example of the senior player beside them is to go at walking pace and pass backwards, that’s what you get from youngsters not wanting to make a mistake.
None of them except Sane was willing to drive forward. A real nothing game in the end. There was no intent from us st all.
Like it was just something we had to go through.
You can say we’re spoilt, but is it really fair to those turning up on the night.
I don’t know. I’m sure we’ll get over it very quickly.

2) we say this every fucking time but what point is yaya ? Rather play a raw kid or CB. Two starts for foden, two losses. Cos he's next to yaya. Should have brought yaya off for keV. The kids should be getting game time in a winning team like taggart would do.
3) laporte needs to start looking like he's trying. I was joking when I billed him as the French dzeko but he did a good impression of him.
can’t argue with any of that!

More like the French Nastasic.

I bought my tickets before the first leg was played and probably might not have gone last night due to it being a dead rubber. We were so sloppy with out passing. Only Sane gave me hope. Bernardo tried and Foden tried, also Diaz when he came on but it was a very poor performance overall.
Basel fans were excellent. They had two meatheads at the front orchestrating the chants, does anyone know if these people are paid by the club to do this stuff? They cannot possibly be normal every day fans, spending all that money and travel all over europe to then spend almost the entire 90 minutes with their back to the play?

I doubt they're paid by the club. Some people get off on shit like that. It makes them feel important.

Some clubs around Europe do give money to these people, either in the form of official payment or 'fan club subsidies'/backhanders, which fund the travel, tickets, etc. of anything from 5 to 500 fans. It's not unknown for political parties and politically-interested individuals to slip them a bit of cash, too, which is where it gets dodgy (although I'm not suggesting this is the case with Basel).

This might be a bit prejudiced, but to me that sounds mainly like a former east-bloc phenomena.

Central, Eastern and Southern Europe more than Eastern Bloc, I'd say. Happens in Greece, Italy, Former Yugoslav states and Cyprus, too.
