Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 This is going to be a very, very, very tough game.Harder than the game will be against Man U at home, simply because Valencia are better than Man U Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 But fuck itIt wasn't too long ago when I went to Ibrox in the CL for Rangers v Barcelona who had a frontline of Henry Messi and Ronaldinho that night as well as Xavi and Iniesta in midfield but to name just a few!We drew that game 0-0 and almost won it (Cousin) albeit that wouldn't have been deserved going by the run of play!I think it just shows how important it is not to concede, especially if it is the first goal in the game.Concede the first goal and prepare for a humping. Keep it tight, even nick a goal if I dare to dream, and we have a fighting chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The 5-4-1 is a bloody masterclass of a formation. Broadfoot storming up the left hand side of the pitch is a joy to behold at times and wee Naisy thrives on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Any news on the Broadfoot inury front?And if he is out, can we still play 5-4-1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sasac 164 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 IF Broadfoot is out, I can't see us playing 5-4-1. I can't see Walter throwing Webster in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't think Andy Webster is registered for the CL so he will be unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersAvA92 53 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It sucks that big Lee is oot, he's a wonder in Europe, keeps the balls out and is a great CDM to have. If Kirky isny fit then maybe Webster or Foster but Webby is lacking match fitness and I'm no confident wi Ricky...would love ti see wee Weiss in but as someone said before, he is too attacking minded.Head: Gers 0-0/0-1 ValenciaHeart: Gers 2-1/1-0 Valencia We can do it!

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Danny Wilson was able to handle it, but i'm still not sure i'd like to see Hutton thrown into a CL game for only his second start. Edu's performed quite well in the CL this season so i don't have too many fears, albeit he does need to improve overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 So many different options for this match depending on who is fit, if Broadfoot is fit then I think it will be the following:McGregorWhittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, BroadfootNaismith, Davis, Edu, LaffertyMillerIf Broadfoot isn't fit then there is every possibility that Webster could be drafted in the centre and Papac on the left, but Webster hasn't played much football at all so would he be risked for such an important game?If Broadfoot isn't fit, I would rather we were actually a slightly bit more adventurous in the line up playing a 4-2-3-1McGregorWhittaker, Bougherra, Weir, PapacEdu, HuttonWeiss, Davis, NaismithMillerI have absolutely no qualms about playing Hutton, he has to get experience eventually and would keep Lafferty initially on the bench and depending on how we're getting on he can be used as a sub for basically any of the players in midfield and striker.

G.E.C. 18,760 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm sorry but if Weiss doesn't start then I'm baffled.He played very well, scored and got taken off early, if that doesn't indicate that he's starting then I'd like to know why he got taken off.

GersAvA92 53 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Anyone know how they've been doing recently?I'm pretty sure they were unbeatin' and top of La Liga before Barca beat them 2-1 yesterday, Valencia were 0-1 up aswell though. They have lost David Villa and David Silva to Barcelona and Man City but still have a strong squad with the likes of Mata, P.Hernandez etc.I'd say they're similar to us, in the fashion that they were in high debt, and still are...I think. They also have had the same group of players for a while so they have depth. Will be a sturn test for us but I believe we can get a positive result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
