Davis gets a rest and Hagi in... if Stevie G does go for pace up top I would hope to see Jones gets a run before Barker but Gerrard seems to prefer Barker for some reason... hoping Roofe gets a run out too for the game time at some point... 0-2 to the famous Jones isn't in the Europa squad.

JackAlex93 11,260 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Confident of us going over there and getting a positive result. The team is flying just now and full of confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagi for sure, maybe Balogun, Aribo & Itten. To be fair, our CBs have had tougher afternoons on the golf course but I see your point. I’d rest Davis (for Jack) and bring in Aribo for Barker.

A major part of our game is how we guide the opposition to where we want them. Then we squeeze them and win the ball. Barker does a lot of tactical work. The players that werent on international duty spent a lot of time practising all of this. This is how the scum were so ineffective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows how well coached we actually are and that some players are actually doing good tactical work even though it isnt the most exciting.

Marco 1,439 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 No idea how strong Standard are. All the same, just looking forward to it. We play well against opponents who try to play football, should be space for us to attack and Europe isn't the priority so feel relaxed about these games vs say Livi.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 If we win this first game it sets us up well for a qualification spot. I really hope we win it, I’m confident we will. Every win in these group stages brings in a few hundred thousand pounds so I’m sure we’ll go for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, every chance that Benfica beat us home and away, so really need to be picking up points against Liege and Poznan on the road. If we let them beat us at home then they've put themselves on an equal footing with us. Beating them at Ibrox and picking up away points will all but guarantee 2nd place at least. Then if we can beat Benfica on top of that even better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,484 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 It's only 3 players and one goalkeeping coach. 1 player was injured anyway and 1 wouldn't have played. Only really the Raskin guy that's really affected from a starting point of view apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
