So you don't know anything about football but like to comment on other leagues and teams anyway?

We had the better chances in both legs. They got lucky. Especially since the centre half just back from injury never put enough on a backpass to let their striker in on goal for a free 1 v 1. Thrown in the deep end by the manager. The manger is ultimately to blame as he picked him as well as another player who shouldn't have started.

Manager at fault. That centre half as well as Forrest should never have started but he seems to favour those 2 players for some reason even though we have better players in the squad.

In the first leg we should have scored 4 goals within the first 20 minutes.

The second leg we had a player who should never be in the team miss an open goal from 3 yards out from a cross because he was anticipating the defender getting to it and he never so he never bothered to put his leg out. Add to that gifting them a goal and the referee chopped off a perfectly good goal for no reason we would have been 2-0 up. And 4-1 on aggregate

So a few things cost us. I would like to see the ref's explanation for the goal that was disallowed. Our player went for the ball. The goalkeeper ran into the back of him and fell over.

So does that mean basically you aren't allowed to get in the way of the ball if it's on it's way to the keeper? as that's a new one to me.

So the better team lost and it was their night on both nights. We should though have won had our manger not changed formation from 352 to 4231. Played our worst centre half at LCB and instead played bitton or Simunovic on the right at RCB. Dropped forrest for Hayes or El younoussi.

Had that have happened we would have won quite comfortably even with the goal chopped off as we would have been winning rather than chasing the game. Plus we would have been playing a top striker instead of a passenger in the attacking half. The same striker who scored 2 world class free kicks in the last Scotland vs England game. Where your players just watched as the ball went into the top corner twice.

Shoulda woulda coulda.
