Hopefully it was just cramping. If not, Despodov gets the opportunity, honestly, I can’t understand the hate he gets around here.

Despodov is better than Zivkovic!

Agree with the sentiment in here, we had moments and in games like this the moments make the difference. Some luck at either end of the pitch and the result is very different. 

Colley was impressive, did pretty well to contain Oshimen who was always a threat. Kotarski is a star, so glad we held onto him, when it comes time to sell we will pocket a nice chunk of change. 

Overall it is  disappointing result but all of our away games are tough (except for the Riga game), a point would have been nice but our 4 home games will make or break our European run. Big one next week against Steaua at Toumba.

They're different players with different strengths. Zivkovic is much better on the ball, as well as helping out defensively. Despodov is more of a play the ball over the top and let him run on player. I have watched him over and over dribble out of play. His touch is awful. I believe he plays CF a lot for Bulgaria, he is not a possession type of player and I think thats why Lucescu doesn't rate him as much. Despodov would be a star in a 2 striker formation, as you can pair him with a natural striker and let him just run
