James Rolle 514 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’ll be our hardest game this season, 11 vs 11 we’ll do well to get a point. That said, I’m looking forward to this with huge confidence and I wouldn’t be surprised if we pull off another incredible win. I’m trying to keep myself from getting too excited though.

Prso's headband 35,348 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 As usual we’re playing Benfica kids, just like Porto, Braga, Feyenoord, Vienna, Willem II, even St Josephs probably had a few players out. Meanwhile the tarriers scared Milan 1-3 and beat Bayern Munich 1-2 as well. Media is basically the celtic view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,375 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Really believe that we can win this. Qualifying with a couple of games to spare would be fantastic. Go for the jugular and then we can rest up the big guns for the other games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are undoubtedly a quality side and have spent 10's of millions on their squad but I reckon they are the team who will do well to get a point from us. I fully appreciate that if they are on top form and we are "off it" even by a small margin then they have more than enough quality to punish us. Thing is I just don't see that happening, we have been immense all season, we just get better and better and we have more gears to go up imho. Still in November granted and we haven't achieved a thing yet but the way we are playing this season is phenomenal. This could be a season like no other if we continue to stay clear of covid/injuries and suspensions. Bring them all on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essandoh 21,194 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Gerrard seems to have basically said we’re going for it, which is fantastic to hear We’ve got nothing to lose. What a scalping it would be if we can pull this off. And what a massive psychological effect it’ll have on both us and that lot if we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nk89 1,286 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If we qualify, will the last 32 be in january/feb? If so we are goin to have a hard run january/feb. With them out of Europe and solely being allowed to concentrate on the league. 1-0 Gers tomoro then get the rest in which could be pivotal when approaching xmas/new year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are better than teams like Sevilia, Rennes, Krasnodar & Kyiv. There are harder teams in the Europa than some Champions League teams - Benfica, Bayer , Leicester, Villarreal, Spurs... and us!

The way we have been playing, we would have beat them based on that performance. Anyway, other than about ten or so teams, I don't think the jump from Europa to Champions league is that big. They would cuff us about the place. They beat Inter in last years final. Inter knocked out Leverkusen who schooled us on football at the pointy end of a European competition. Think out that side they have only lost 2 players over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the heatmap Krasnodar just spent most of the night trying to contain Sevilla. Sevilla are a team that gets results, they knocked out Roma, Man Utd, Wolves and Inter to win the Europa league last season. Their style is very similar to ours in Europe in terms of counter attacking, set pieces and an aggressive press, so they are better suited against teams who will have a go. I doubt there's a better team in Europe at that style of football to be honest. I mean, if a neutral watched us against Livi, Kilmarnock away or even Ros County at home.. they would think we weren't up to much either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Looking forward to this. A good test for us and will show up where we need to improve to get to the next level, still thinkg we will win. 2-1 or 1-0 Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing Zungu injured as well but with all these games, international , European,domestic and now with cup games kicking in as well it's no a surprise Jack is struggling a bit. Just hope they are no out for too long as this will put pressure on Davis and Arfield in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
