Ocampos actually doing things that work for two games in a row. Is this 2019?

Good set pieces.
Not complaining. Much better play than our first league games. At least we are trying to attack.

Intense game. They are not afraid to use dirty tactics either. Ramos few moments to let it slip. Sow playing solid. Still positive we will take this one. Lukebakio eager to score his second match winner.
Meanwhile PSV getting the business in London.

Thought we started well and got the goal we deserved.
Then Lens get back in it with a well struck free kick that Dmitrovic should have saved IMO and the game changes.
1-1 probably a fair reflection. Wahi causing all sorts of problems and a real handful.
Pedrosa looks a player for us from what I’ve seen.
Hopefully push on and get the win in the second half. They’re fragile defensively. Game in the balance though.

Chaotic game, but more positive signs in attack from us.
Fernando is a concern in central midfield, why not give Soumare a chance here?
There will be chances at both ends, we need to make sure we have more of them and take some of them.

Lukebakio is definitely going to help us score more goals. He is always looking for that rebound.
Lens taking it, growing and looking more and more dangerous. Come one boys!
Navas in and Mariano debut.

Would Rafa have scored there?

So a draw. Frustrating result but better than a loss I suppose

Disappointing second half. Could have gone worse too but this is the game you normally need to win to be serious and we failed yet again. In two weeks in Eindhoven we better not lose.
First half, first 10 minutes and some later parts we played quite good and deserved more.
Second half was weak and uninspiring. Would not even be surprised if Lens took it there… so looking at that we have to take the 1-1. Which makes it honestly even more disappointing.

Second half disappointing and we didn’t create enough. Lens had the better chances but that was a great opportunity for Mariano that he should have taken.
A frustrating result. Yes of course a draw is better than a defeat but you really feel we need to be winning games at home if we are to have any chance of progressing in this group. Lens looked a decent enough side but more than beatable as well.
1-1 a fair result though I’d say.

Yeah, I was going to say the same, Fernando wasn’t looking sharp today. Or more specifically, he barely showed up at all.
Big opportunity missed here, this was a must-win game…
Some positive signs with Lukebakio and Pedrosa, Ocampos was good in the first half. But quite a few players were not effective tonight, including YEN, Rakitic, Fernando, Suso and after the first half Lamela.
Strange that Mendi sent Mariano on for his first competive match in a long time rather than Rafa Mir who I think would have taken that great chance fluffed big time by Mariano.
Need to get a draw at Eindhoven at least now. They have been thrashed by Arsenal in London and have not been able to deal with the gap left by Sangare’s departure.
Reunion with Luuk de Jong awaits.
