Who the hell do we play at right back right next week!? Ambrose the bomb scare, Janko who has started 1 game for us, Fisher who looks decent but has never played anywhere near that level, Mulgrew who is all left foot? Brown has filled in there before and is probably the best option to play there but then he won't be in the middle of the park where he is badly needed! I think Ambrose will get the nod .

The problem is none of them play to that level at the back, tonight the distribution from the back line was terrible.

Bitton after his goal the standard of his passing was not up to his usual relaxed pressure free style.

A decent manager will have a pacy striker close down Boyata all match when he has the ball at his feet as his distribution skills leave a lot to the imagination.

Izzy again great going forward but lacks a final ball and can't defend.

A great start to the night 2 up with 10mins played and looking like given them a right doing but we fell away and let them right back into the game. Once again a former player comes back to bite us, we really need to start to wisen up to these same problems.

A result but not a healthy one I fear the return leg.

I hate putting the team down like this but it's a worrying trend. Fingers crossed we can get a couple over there.

I'd gamble janko over ambrose he's too much of a risk! Maybe we should play boyata at RB and lustig at CB when fit again!

Lustig will almost definitely be out now, feel for him because you can see how genuinely upset he is at his constant injuries. Usually a player injured as often I take a dislike to as I feel they are a wage thief who care little for the club(i.e Boeriggter)but with Lustig you can tell he cares. Sadly don't see Lustig really ever recovering, just one of these things.

I've got time for Ambrose but he is never a RB, so Ambrose shouldn't be an option there. With Lustig out it's between Janko and Fisher. Fisher hasn't really featured much with the first team recently so can see Janko getting the nod on Saturday to show what he can do there. Got to say though, he hasn't really impressed me so far and people who have worked with him like Mjallby say he isn't really a RB and more of a RW. Can't really see any other option than Janko though. This is why we should have kept Matthews(I do realise he wanted to leave but we should have kept him till after CL Qualifers).

It has to be Janko, but Deila seems to rate Ambrose above him, so it looks like we will be exposed on two sides for a while.
