This is a nice way to say we bottled it. 

We never looked scared or fearful, and put in a heck of a performance for most parts of that game.

Don't understand how that is deemed as bottling it, but to each their own I guess.

In key moments our lack of quality/calibre showed. Lascelles has to recognise to go flying out to Leao on the first goal, Schar has to recognise he cannot risk looking to play passes on the edge of their box and being out of position with the counter threats they have, and Isak and Bruno have to be more cynical when they break.

Very Very bad game management by Howe for me exactly like the Liverpool game

 

He shows his naivety at times in these big games. This one's on him for me

We have the weakest squad and the least experience in the group by far.

Howe has gone toe to toe with every manager in this group.

The manager is the least of our problems. We dominated this team for large parts of the game but there was a failure to execute at key moments.

We had to win the game to qualify, I'm not going to rip into them for pushing on and having a go like, even if it was a bit naive. Quite happy to fuck the Europa League off, we can clearly do without the additional fixtures. 

Thing is though, we're good enough to challenge for the Europa League with a bit of luck, and it's also another route back into the Champions League if we win it. Would have been well worth going into that.

Ah well ...

He should be living his best life with Trippier to link up with but he’s just all effort and extreme predictability / limitation this season.

Yup, just doesn't offer enough of a threat in forward areas, certainly not at this level of competition. Need another option on that side.

Good performance as usual, if you can’t see what value he brings to this system then you don’t know what you are looking at. 

He was poor tonight man. Stop it.

Love this guy, but absolutely sick of him at the minute.

Fuck me I'm gutted man.

Same, but mostly because we played well in every single game. 

Really annoying to finish bottom as I don't think it was deserved at all.

I'm really disappointed with that second half, i was hoping we would keep focused but it really did show how much experience matters at this level, they were so calm and composed and towards the end they could've scored a few more goals, we just ran out of steam.

Way too excitable, epitomised by the Schar decision.

Somewhat understandable I guess, but disappointing nonetheless.

what do you mean? You rather sit back and go to Europe than actually go for it? I believe we could’ve been cooler as Milan were going to throw more men forward, but we can’t fault Schär for that.

It was daft. Has to shoot there like he usually does. No idea what he was thinking.

Schar was just being Schar, I think at 1-0 up maybe we didn't need to play such an open game considering it was Milan who needed to chase the game.

Nothing wrong with his run but he has to do what he usually does there and shoot!

If it flies over then he can get back into position. That one two with Isak and continuing his run into the box is bloody ridiculous.

So irresponsible Schar just throwing away Europe altogether. Could have been competitive in the Europa league.

Almiron with a useless cross on his left foot at the end there. Nothing showing from him today. So annoying when he plays like this.

Almiron class there, still running like a mad man.

He's been pretty useless today I think.

Hadn't done nearly enough to add to our attack.

Fucking stupid from Schar. Has to take the shot after that run and not look to play a one two. Ridiculous.

My God ... Tino finally makes a mistake, and Leao blows it!

How does Wilson miss that connection man.

PSG have goal disallowed ... man this is going down to the wire.

Just now, McDog said:

Miggy nearly brilliant several times.....nearly being the key.

In a tight game like this it's so infuriating man.

Almiron makes me cry.

Just now, Aiston said:

 

Gordon looks way more knackered to be fair.

But still far more dangerous, that's the thing.

Gordon off, damn. I would have pulled Miggy instead.

Lascelles has to stick with Leao there.

Adeyemi! Let's go!

Yes Dortmund!!!

My goodness! Just showed some terrifying highlights from the PSG game.

Looks like they've had some great chances.
