Crystal Palace 3-3 AS Roma
I know it seems a bit pathetic to be pissed off about things considering we are in a final and semi-final, but the goals we are leaking recently are absolutely killing us. Wondering if the decision to SHN Fabinho is coming back to haunt us, but again today was another example of us conceding a bunch of goals with not that many shots on target against us.
Just as we did against Celtic, we took a 2-0 lead and at C v A I was hoping we could just see the lead out and have something to take to Italy. We just seem to have a real fragility about us at the back though, conceded two quick goals to go level, and even after we managed to go back ahead with 15 left we still managed to squander the lead to a penalty.
Eze sent off late for good measure too, so we miss him and Diawara for Villa on Friday.
Well played Keith, see you in the return leg. -
Blackburn 1-2 Fiorentina
I'd have taken an away win before kick off, but have mixed feelings about the game now, as perhaps it could have been even better.
It started well, with Fiorentina scoring on the counter through Cancelo, however Blackburn switched tactics to gain the advantage, but Karsdorp made it two nil before half time.
Unfortunately, with nearly an hour gone, the ref decided an innocuous looking foul from Locatelli was worthy of red card, so the away team had to play the rest of the game with ten men.
Blackburn came more into the game, and got what could be an important goal late in the game to keep the tie alive.
The stats were reasonably even, so perhaps the win was a good result, though we can't help thinking what might have been if the red card hadn't been given.
The second leg should be an exciting one, bring it on!Comment
