    So you'd rather we aspire to be a tiny fish in a massive pond (in Europe) rather than be the same sized fish as everyone else in a relatively sized pond????

    As an Aberdeen fan, I've accepted that we might have the odd decent result in Europe. In my lifetime, Dnipro, Copenhagen, 2-2 with Bayern, Groningen, Rijeka. Yet you still have fans of Rangers and Celtic chastising us for losing to teams like Apollon, Kairat, Qarabag all of whom had vastly superior resources to us. 

    Aberdeen have certainly been beat by teams with bigger budgets and resources in the recent past in Europe. Sociedad and the likes. But do Apollon and Qarabag really have more money than Aberdeen. £10m+ revenue is where you at right?

    That's true. The point I was making was that CL groups maybe isn't as good for the coefficient than Europa Lge. Anything Hearts get will be a bonus as to the past few years although they could pick up less than they would've had they played and won a few qualifiers (as for example Aberdeen have done in the past). 

    I'm between a rock and a hard place as far as the coefficient goes. Yes, having 5 teams qualify gives the Dons more opportunity (although I'd like to think we will be top 4 this season) but it guarantees one of the ugly sisters CL money. 

    I think it could very well be worse too. We would need 7 more wins to get just over 5 points which is doable but it's not inconceivable to imagine that we wouldn't get it.

    Now I’ve had time to actually watch and absorb the highlights, did we go through with two of the most Danny Baker’esque gaffs in CL history?

    It was a very tight tie overall and the main difference in the end was the quality of keeper. McLaughlin made some great saves last night while that PSV howler at Ibrox is one of the worst I've ever seen.

  4. We've done alright in terms of possession and pressure but a similar situation to much of this season in that we lack a threat away from home. Really need to get the ball in more central areas. Need more from Tillman.

    A bit shaky that last 5 minutes mins mind.

    Kamara has been superb. Vintage European performance from him and he's carried that midfield as Lundstram has looked slow to react to everything.
