We should have won, better team lost
What the fuck was that back heel, what a goal
Not with that finishing, we shouldn’t have. That we we were better than them for the most part it’s true, but in the end its about the goals. Our allergy to scoring goals has us on the chase more often than not.
Super unlucky for Panathinaikos. I don’t know how so many of those chances didn’t go in.
Given our current form it’s incredible that we could bring home a win. A draw would not have been undeserved. Classic Rennes shit though, we were playing some good football up front before totally collapsing in defense under our own fears and lack of experience/confidence (granted the penalty was dubious at best but still, it’s always pretty stupid mistakes). That defense really needs to get its shit together.
I’m fairly confident we’ll end up as dominant up front as we used to be in a few months once Blas/Le Fée really settle and Terrier gets back into shape.
