I wondered yesterday if VdW’s lacklustre performance might in part have been attributed to the tragic death of Davide Astori, but the timing is out. Both in that Astori died after our game and they also never crossed paths at Cagliari.
RIP Asturi.

I know this isn't a RPB issue, but the lack of flags really improved my game-day experience on Saturday! There were no complaints in 113, nobody throwing stuff at the flag wavers, no hissy fits between fans arguing about the flags, just pure football-watching!Quote:

I realize we have the CL to worry about and maybe Vanney is trying to speed things along.
Completely agreed with this. It was the new guys who just didn't jive with the rest of the team at all - not their fault, but if you have less of a pre-season than everybody else its just going to take time to bed-in. Akatxe was fine individually, but often his passing wasn't linking up anybody. Delgado should have played instead and he would have known his team-mates so much better.Quote:
