I think some of the negative comments are way over the top. Did no one see how strong Chelsea’s line up was? Honestly, what did you expect to happen.. especially with the far more important game v AEK and argueably ARIS coming up. Let’s be serious here, we could have easily snatched a point at the end. We could have also been battered but you need to ride your luck in these matches. I felt they were just too big, strong, fast etc and we struggled with there movement and the speed at which the moved the ball but we defended very well at times. Last night I left Toumba proud and there was a moment in that second half where the stadium was literally shaking.. it felt like we had them on the ropes and panicking a little. Finally, at last I got to witness a ball being kicked after the shambles of last season! All I can say is, we clearly have our fair share of nutters in our support but standing on gate 4a in a packed Toumba is a feeling like no other and so hard to describe. Without this crazy element I’m not sure that same feeling and atmosphere would be achievable. Everyone I met was absolutely first class with me and I cannot wait for tomorrow night. I was told that everyone was calm and relaxed compared to what’s to come v AEK.. should be something special then!

I don't think that's true. I think he showed that the match vs AEK was more important that going after Chelsea full force, which would be a long shot even on our best day and Chelsea's worst. I don't think we'll see such a passive starting lineup against BATE and VIDI. We are fighting for 2nd in the group and making it to the round of 16 is a very realistic goal. The League is top priority, but that doesn't mean we're not gonna fight in Europe.

A good result as we were dissapeared. Now just focus the match vs Koula.
