    I mean, under normal circumstances, no.
    But we cannot score for toffee.
    Good that the return league is at home, but lately we have been just as useless there as away so I aint holding out much hope :)

    Problem is that for them to get back in it they have to come at Madrid ... and, as Liverpool found out, when you do that they can murder you on the counter ...

    I think what Saff means is it only finished 2-0 whilst a 5-0 slapping as was expected, wouldn’t have been a surprise to us

    Real didn’t get out of 2nd gear

    always in control and could have upped the tempo if required

    Fact you are not scoring with players like, Boomerang, Havertz, Sterling, Felix, Mudryck and Pulisic available... is baffling ...

    They've sacrificed every comp this season for the league. It would be a damn shame if they then fcked that up.

    There is something fundamentally wrong at the club, starting with the owners on down.
    Owner hasnt a clue, hired bad managers (and sacked a world class one to boot), scatter gun recruitment approach with no real thought as to what is needed to create a cohesive squad.
    We dont need Potter, or Lampard or Nagelsmann or any kid in charge. We need someone with a big rep who can come in and give the players what for, and someone who wont be cowed by the owners. We need someone like Mourinho.

    If you have a problem,
    If no one else can help
    And if you can find them
    Maybe you can hire... the A-team

    Cue music

    Fosse about to double down on his assertion that Van Basten is a better number 9 than the bloke universally accepted as the greatest ever number 9, because Fosse watched some of the European Championships in 1988 on his black and white portable tele.

    I was talking about 'complete' centre forwards ... you've been triggered because potentially the most promising in living memory is with your noisy neighbours and so you started throwing your toys out in a fit of pique ...

    ... and 'universally accepted' is for sheep ... have an opinion of your own, even if happens to go against the 'trend' ...

    ... you're welcome <laugh>

    FosseFilberto trying to give us all lessons about his scouting abilities today.

    I'm fairly certain he assured us all that Leicester were bursting with talented players not long ago.

    I never once challenged your opinion of Haaland, I think the lad is a phenomenal striker.

    I do have an opinion, it’s R9.

    All three are better than any players Leicester have ever had like.

    No away fans allowed into the Feyenoord v Roma game nor in the return fixture, due to past troubles.
