Absolutely. I was actually hoping Ferencvarosi would beat Kiev and that Shakhtar would make CL last 16 where they would probably pick up less points than in EL. They also have Zorya playing tonight, but at least they can't go through and are away to Braga so hopefully don't pick up any points tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inter winning last night would have knocked Shakhtar out of Europe completely. Overrated Italian wankers. Didn't realise the bonus was as high a 5 points, which would have converted to 1 point for Ukraine, so yes that would have been a game changer. I was watching results coming in last night desperate for Inter to get a late winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get game time into some of the Sayed players..,.Bassey, Hagi, Zungu and Stewart. You don’t think topping our European group for the first time ever means something ?

dazzareyes 220 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Whilst you don't get any trophies for topping the group, it keeps a good momentum going, it is also an achievement in itself and shows this squad that they can top groups/win things, which is ultimately everything we want for our club and this group of players. It creates or enhances belief in that we can achieve success this season. Hopefully get the job done tonight and take some invaluable confidence from it to help with our upcoming domestic schedule.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Still 2 hours to go but I cannot wait to see the team sheet. Just hope that Gerrard goes easy on the changes. Pick a strong side and if we have the game won by 60 mins then he can play all the subs he likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,516 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wasn’t arsed about this game last week but winning the group means an easier tie and allowing us to rotate that little bit when it comes around instead of getting Ajax or something and having to go for it full throttle over 2 legs.

KaiserJon 12,404 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Equal Benficas points and we top the group. Waiting on the team being announced. No injuries, no Covid problems get the result and get out of there👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We're all wrapped up in our/Poznan's teams to see what sort of game it might be But has anyone considered what Benfica's team might be now that they've qualified too and will be wanting to get stuck in in their domestic league? Liege isn't the easiest of places to go. Wouldn't surprise me if both us and Benfica drew tonight tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals don't matter as we beat them on head to head. I.E we draw 0-0, matters not a fuck if they have a 9-9 thriller and have a higher gd and goals scored. Is all about points.

From the bottom division in Scotland to finish top of our Europa league group in less than 10 years is a fantastic achievement. I couldn’t really give a fuck about the money, for pure football and prestige reasons it’s superb and sends out a message to everyone that The Rangers are back and only going to get stronger.
