It troubles me greatly that we looked terrible for most of the 90 minutes, against all but one (Astana) of our last four opponents including…
Copenhagen, Olympiakos, and Young Boys.
It appears that these three are a level above APOEL and I would rate these three as 3rd division European football material so I’ll have to relegate APOEL to the 4th, but I guess I shouldn’t be complaining too much because it wasn’t too long ago (10 years?) when we were in the 6th division… we shouldn’t forget!
Still though, I like to believe that we can compete with such teams if only we make wiser decisions when purchasing new players. For example, Bertoglio has in my view turned out to be a total flop (what a weakling!) as have many other players like Bressan.
It seems that we are spending the money but we’re just not getting the quality and that’s a major worry.
