Great save by Bego at the end there.
Draw is enough to put us through, and I'm happy enough with that.
Missed all but the last 5 minutes of the second half so can't really comment on it.

Great stuff. Now just get something at Besiktas and win the group.

Played far better second half Sam, worked harder closed down the space better in general. Massive bonus having a midfielder that can fucking pass a ball too Great result against a very very good European side.

I've been waiting to see fuller, jerome and walters together. I know they have similar traits, and they weren't on for very long together, but I reckon they'd be a right old handful for any team. Good stuff tonight though.

Palacios was awful in my opinion. He didn't close down whatsoever. A few Hollywood passes but that's it.

1st half: Fuck me, what a shower of shit. What the fuck were we doing? Nothing, literately nothing. Zip, zero, nout. Heard someone on the way back make a good point hearing his mate say "We looked like strangers". His response, "Well, they are, they've hardly played together"
2nd half: Much better but still iffy. Movement was still near zero but as soon as Pennant gets a decent cross into the box, we score. If only he could deliver a good ball on a consistent basis
Job done

His passing was really good in my opinion, and he looked good with the ball, BUT I can see why Big Tone hasn't picked him for the prem as he is clearly lacking that bit of extra fitness required. He looked static when they scored, and was generally the player hanging back to cover during our forward set peices. Still bloody good though! MOTM for me, Jerome

Mate who I went with tonight immediately said "Bit fat isn't he?" regarding Palacios. Definitely showed glimmers of his ability, excellent touch and quick feet and can definitely pick a pass out. Once he's fully fit with match sharpness, he'll be phenomenal for us MOTM for me was Pennant. Always tried to do something even in a completely abject first half

Palacios showed some amazing moments but obviously not 100% fit. I bet Tone went spare when he saw him in the opposition's box having a shot

MOTM for me was Pennant. Always tried to do something even in a completely abject first half Pennant was clearly more skillful, and ultimately his contribution more influential. However, I just felt that Jerome worked so hard all game, and avoided his petulant side really well. I guess I always favour a player who Works Aaaarrrrd all day long over a bit of flair. I'm not trying to belittle Pennant there though cus he was bloody good. What the game did show though was that our right wing looked ace, but our left wing was a little lacking in quality with out a certain Ethers (although Higgy did great in the 2nd half supporting LM).

Higgy was immense in the second half, pretty much owned the entire left hand side until Fuller came on and Jerome went out onto the right I'd definitely love to see Jerome play in the league but where do Crouch, Walters, Jones and Fuller fit into that? Christ, what a headache

I just thought Dynamo Kiev, (5x Champions League Quarter Finalists, 3x Semi Finalists: 1x UEFA Cup Semi & Quarter Finalists: 2x UEFA Cup Winners Cup Winners & 2x Quarter Finalists: 1x UEFA Super Cup Winner & 1x Finalist) were by far a better European Competition football team than Stoke City, and still the cunts couldn't beat us home or away...

They were given far too much respect in the first half mate, however when they were confronted with a far more up for it Stoke in the second period they froze a little. Possibly gave us some respect back.

Possibly gave us some respect back. 1st half I swear we had about 6 men playing to their 14.... Maybe that's the secret of European Competition and playing the European way, and Kiev are fucking good at it and we are learning, but by fuck we're learning fast aren't we..? Only British club not to lose this week, the others being 3rd in their groups apart from Fulham, who are a distant 2nd.. Proud as fuck I am..

One of the worst 45 mins ive seen in ages. Jerome was on SJW levels of fitness, kenwyne only started getting into it when he saw Crouch warming up. Ric gave everyone that lift we needed. I think I'll cry when he retires.
Decent result against the best Euro competition we've faced so far, even if they were dishonest cuntflops. Play like we did in the first against some better teams though and we'll get spanked.

After sleeping on it I feel a bit better, it was probably because of the last minute besiktas winner that I was a bit annoyed.
We are through though! And we played dynamo at home whilst on a bit of a bad patch, so we should be a match for most European teams once we start playing a buy better.
