What an emotionally draining game that was. Proud of the boys but hurts knowing we may not get back in Europe next season, and that one gift cost us the tie.
Dug too deep of a hole. If we aren't as wasteful with chances in away leg, who knows? The team showed some fight. Finally. This can serve as a positive if it continues in the last third of the season.
Watching Suarez tonight, I couldn't help but think we need to get into CL as soon as possible. He won't stick around for Europa or no European football forever.

We do have one, but the transfer policy doesn't match what we should be doing. If we had Coutinho and Sturridge for this tie we'd have won, but we didn't.

Yeah, well, I'm talking about finishing in the top 4 every year. A multi-tasking John Henry ain't cuttin' it. He should sell the Red Sox.
