I must admit I always thought it would be reasonably close. I felt it was doable, obviously, but not the plain sail some thought.
The other three teams seemed fairly evenly matched, bear in mind Marseille were our "minnows" from Pot 4...

It's like this all over the pitch. There's seemingly little cohesive understanding between the players of how to move as a unit, whether it's defending or attacking
Dier is key, we lose him and we're fucked defensively - funny thing to say seeing as when he's exposed he has major deficiencies in his game.
I feel you always need a really top team in your group to keep you on your toes
It can be hard to get up for Frankfurt or sporting at home
Knew it would be tight but a win in our next game, at home, sees us through
Once through the spin cycle of Tottenham Hotspur, that's what regional television says! Hits the nail on the head! Now please become the winner of the CL - would burst with pride if you got a draw! All the best, you lovely lunatics!
Thought we were pretty good apart from the first 20 mins and the last 15 mins.
The main thing for me is that Son and Kane had a bit of life in them. How good our season will be is probably going to come down to that, Conte will make the rest of them functional enough to get wins so long as our forwards do the business.

I thought it was very positive that Richy showed he can be an asset as a right forward yesterday, even though not his best position.
With Richy, I think we'll really see his best if and when Son or Kane are out. Filling in for Kulu is a bonus, and no doubt we will keep looking for a more creative wide forward to compete there long term.

I was much happier with our performance overall, at least we showed ambition to get forward and attack for most of the game. However we were very nearly undone by our continued ridiculous passing around in our own penalty area. Sometimes they have just got to hoof it! I think also our capitulation near the end was because Conte made too many substitutions in a small period of time. It was not so much the personalle, it was just too many changes at once. It messed with our team balance.
(Just my humble opinion so sorry if any of you disagree with me you are probably right and I'm an old cunt anyway)

The substitutions did affect the balance at bit that is true, but the intensity dropped soon as the sending off occurred.
The team took their foot of the gas, that started it then the changes just compounded it.
Changes first IMO mate
Whilst we laboured last night I felt the real disgrace last night was us....the fans. The atmosphere was so subdued it was embarrassing. We tried numerous times in the lower South to get some chants going but apart from 'yid army' it all fell flat.
It felt like the ground was full of tourists enjoying the facilities - there was no passion from the fans to lift the players and that is really frustrating.

It sounded loud on the radio
That was the Choreographed German bollocks
I missed this when it happened, but does anyone know why only 618 people showed up to the Marseille - Sporting match?
