another defeat after taking the lead as we start to slide down the table standard

Aston Villa 2-1 Brentford
The Bees gave us a game and took an early lead but goals from Leemans and Nascimiento gave us the win - all before the half hour. It is never an easy game against Neil and I was concerned so delighted to come away with the win.

And with that we go second and have confirmed automatic qualification for the quarter finals. All that is left is to try and finish as high as possible for a favourable draw in that round. We have an ouside chance of finishing top of the group but could still come as low as fourth so plenty to play for going into the final game which is at home.

The important part is we are through and we can relax and enjoy that occasion

Al Ahly 0-0 Miami
A dull draw thanks to the opposition coming with a negative tactic. They came for a point or to nick a 1-0 and they got the former of those. As it is - with Lionel messi in the side - they didn't manage a single shot on target! Or even off target!

The draw guarantees us a playoff spot but it is out of our hands for an automatic qualification - a win would have put us in with a chance of controlling our destiny. But we are at home and a win will guarantee us at least a home playoff. So all is not lost - but we will have to step up and make sure we win that game
