If we go out then there is no shame. We made the last 16 after all which is further than we have been in a long time. Got to start the game with the mentality that we need a minimum of 3 goals and just go for it. Gerrard knows all about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR3 12,658 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 how many weeks is that since they've finished the Bundesliga? Must be a month+ surely. Hopefully them not having a competitive game can go in our favour but they're not daft, they must have done some prep. A tie vs Conte's Inter would be class next round but if I'm honest I had the tie over in the first leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy 1,308 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Rangers will win 2-1 I think, which will bring in much needed cash at this testing time - was it 500,000 euros for a win? They would not have played competitively for a month, so if we take the game to them with our best team, anything is possible. Bayern beat them 2-4, we need to repeat that result with an open attacking game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Don't think there is extra money for winning the game, just whatever last 16 losers get. But a win will improve our coefficient. However a significant win (3-0 or 4-2) would mean at least QF money. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanhentze 14,073 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 They havent played a competetive game for about a month and apparently they have struggled to set up friendlies as well. The players have also had time off. Unfortunately our squad for this game is not our strongest, but anything can happen. I sure as fuck am excited about playing in the last 16 of a European competition... this is what it is all about and I certainly dont see it as a distraction.. the players certainly wont be.

writingranger 1,412 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It's a bit of a free hit, so long as we aren't gubbed, don't get injuries etc. A morelos Hat-trick would do him and us the world of good. Get some competitive action into those legs and make the occasional substitution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely given they haven't played since the German cup final I'd have backed us to go through a single tie now it's still extremely difficult. If we're winning at HT it's game on.

Camshy 812 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Think our poor form in the second half of last season has cost us here, German teams are no mugs and getting a victory is difficult at the best of times. Hope we do it as could prove a real boost for this important season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but with Kamara suspended we dont really have any room for changing anything. We will have to hope that we get through this in one piece. Helander isnt in the squad either. Katic is injured also, so that leaves us with Goldson and Edmundson in defence with no real experienced cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
