Firstly let me say I like Ole and he has done a great job of clearance (still needs to stay and complete that) and there seems to be better dressing room atmosphere and interplayer cohesion. Also we just scraped CL qualification.
I still feel that his in game management is embarrassing to the point of non existence. Too little much too late, though I admit our second string really is second string to the point of second rate. Even our best 11 is a bit second rate in places. Whether this is due to innate lack of quality or poor coaching / tactics is debatable and has already been done to death.

Now the rub. Just think about a few of our recent performances including Sevilla and Copenhagen and I have to ask who really thinks we are going to go anywhere meaningful in the CL even with our first 11.
Without major signings (I don't necessarily mean marquee expense) we are not going anywhere. Anyone think we really stand a chance against the likes of Bayern - not next year for sure.
The likes of Liverpool seem to find value in the market.
Ole needs another season to complete the clearout. Whether we get signings is a moot point as we seem to chase high profile shirt sell.

mate if we scored our chances in both games we win them by 4 or 5 goals easy.

the thing with us in we are poor at thew back in terms of concentration and awareness of runners, we can't defend crosses or set pieces and we always concede when we have a lapse.

other than the two goals they scored we was comfortable.

So, we good Bolger? We just need to score and we will be able to compete with Bayern, Liverpool and others?

The whole point of the beautiful game is to put the ball in the net if a team can't do that it crap. Never win anything ever.
