Not in the slightest. I miss being good though, and they are two entirely different things. I'm not concerned about Poch, but the squad needs a kick up the arse, probably from the youth ranks. Poch needs to remake the team in his image. We've got too many ponderous, out-of-form or just not-very-bright players, and when you add that to a defense that is seriously rickety you're asking for trouble. Too much class in there to struggle, but some squad surgery is definitely needed.

Well I can think of one way in which we did. But yeah, we're so fucking mediocre at the moment. That's a cracking away European result though.

First time Asteras have lost at home in Europe, which is nice. We're not very good though.

Job done *cough*.

It was soft as fuck though.

Terrible penalty, but they've certainly deserved a draw.

About as soft a red card as you'll see.

He really shouldn't be playing RB. Unfortunately the guy who probably should in Europa is on loan at Middlesbrough. I'm pretty sure we're going to push to try to get Yedlin early.

Dier getting completely ra...er...outclassed on the right.

So bloody casual at the back.

Casual, plus Asteras are decent when they come out and play. Just need to weather this, because like the first match, they will tire later on now that they can't just sit back.

Nope, it's still the new Europa Cup, particularly when the CL sides come in. That's more annoying because the Europa could be so ace with just a few tweaks.

What is this I don't even Sounds s***. The last Scandinavian World Cup was one of the best. Sounds ace tbh. Depths of winter would be good too.

Chamakh is terrible man. s*** player who occaisionally showcases a bit of decent technique. Watching him right now, it seems unbelievable that he was at Arsenal.

Hit or miss. Capable of being very dangerous, but has periods where his touch completely deserts him. He strikes me as something of an Aldi Sterling.

Cracking game now, too.

Buried it, tbh.

Why? The story here is that they have expressed concerns about other African teams/fans travelling to their country, because it's an Africa-wide competition.

Soldado and Kane actually link up pretty well together. God only knows how we'll play today.

Long-term injury.

Relentless indeed. Apart from anything else, he's a CB who's been asked to fill in at RB when we were expecting him to warm the bench for a year. He's done amazingly well in the circumstances.

The backpass rule.

Annoyingly I have Downing on the bench, but even though Rafael is injured and Naughton might miss out, I can't play two at the back . Caulker's mighty one point it is.

Wow. I've been captaining Costa for a while but getting great scores from vice-captains and the bench. He's actually done worse for me playing than not. Downing on the bench this week, annoyingly.

Still one of my favourite posts of all time. (I did edit it a bit for grammar though...)
