We’re into the Europa League Round of 16, but that was far from the comfortable night at the City Ground we all expected. Despite holding a three-goal cushion from the first leg, the Reds looked a shadow of themselves as Vítor Pereira’s decision to rotate the squad nearly backfired. A lacklustre first half saw us punished by a hungrier Fenerbahçe side, and it took a quadruple substitution at half-time to restore some order. Wolfie dissects a nervy night under the lights, questioning why the fringe players failed their audition so spectacularly when the pressure was on to prove they belong in this European journey.
The biggest concern coming out of tonight isn't just the result, but the glaring lack of depth. While the "First XI" has shown they can compete with the best, the drop-off in quality from the squad players who came in was alarming. We looked disjointed in midfield and fragile at the back, but most worryingly, we still look toothless in the final third without our main men firing. As the games pile up in both the Premier League and Europe, Wolfie asks the burning question: where are the goals going to come from for the rest of the season? If we can't rely on the rotation options to step up now, we could be in for a very long spring.
We want to hear from you—are you just happy to be in the hat for the next round, or are you as concerned as we are about that performance? Who out of the "B-team" disappointed you the most, and do we need to dive into the free agent market or lean even harder on the youth to find some goals? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, join the debate, and as always, YOU REDS!
