        Rubin Kazan. Worst team possible.

          I am all for people discussing past players & managers etc. but hoping the guy fails is pathetic.

          To be fair, it seems like a good proportion of Latics fans want Owen Coyle to fail.

            As a result of some of these shocks tonight, we’ve scraped in to pot 2.

            Good news for those wanting us to progress in the groups.

              Seriously thinking about getting a Ben Watson mask made.

                At the risk of getting splinters in my sphincter, i’m going to sit on the fence and say a nice mix.

                I want one big team from pot 1, some one like Milan etc. and then preferably easier matches in decent destinations that we have a good shot of winning.

                  We are currently in pot 3 but could drop into pot 4 depending on who drops out of the CL. (according to the club)

                  From pot 3 we could face Valencia AND Bordeaux.

                  Lyon are 2 away goals down tonight, PSV play Milan and Celtic are 2 goals down so there’s three other big sides we can possibly drawn as they’ll be ranked higher than us.

                  We are guaranteed to be in pot 3 at worse. There are enough teams guaranteed to be below us that no matter the result we can’t end up in pot 4.

                      He’s had a rough start for sure. If Garcia is match fit he should get a chance.

                      If he’s no good then we are stuck with Crainey and that is worrying.

                        Rhodes in, McCarthy out? Sign me up for that.

                        I really don’t see what everyone else sees in McCarthy.

                          I’d be stunned but delighted if this is true and we pull it off.

                            It’s interesting because there is a bloke who sits near us who repeatedly makes racist comments. He is bang out of order, but even an opinionated old get like me is struggling to decide how to deal with it.

                            I would just report him to a steward and/or the club after the game.

                            Additionally, you can anonymously text the Kick It Out campaign with the persons seat number and the nature of the abuse.

                            I certainly would if I heard it. There’s no place for that sort of stuff at our club, or any for that matter.

                              My main problem right now is the midfield 3.

                              If you pick any 3 from Watson, McArthur, McCarthy, McCann and Fyvie you have 3 players who almost the exact same in play style. None of them are particularly creative, they.re possession retainers and every teams needs one or two of them but right now we are playing 3 people to do that role and its overkill.

                              Gomez or Maloney (who is wasted on the right imo) would fit much better in to the midfield 3 as a more aggressive, creative player whilst the two behind clean up and keep the ball moving.

                                The reaction has been pretty negative.

                                For some reason I think it’s awesome. I love it.

                                  Scored in two out of three appearances !

                                  Did I miss his consolation goal in the Community Shield or something?
