I like the look of that side but I hope to see Ramsey at some point.Think his quality could be pivotal to our progression into the last 8.

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,476]

2 nil. Morelos double.

Ibrox will be bouncing!

👍He's offering so little it's not even about us missing him if we leave him out. 

Rest him, for at least one game, see if we can recharge him and get him back to the poty form he was in pre afcon.

Is the euro squad fixed from the last round until we go out or can players be removed/added?  Having helander available in these games would be handy. 

[tom1780 1,219]

Be  a tight game this we need to be at it 

there form is pretty good 

[sausagetrunks 6,025]

will be a tough tough game. 

[JM1872 3,714]

I’d be going with:

McGregor; Tav, Goldson, Helander (if now registered?), Bassey; Lundstram, Jack; Sakala, Roofe, Kent; Morelos.

I’d be definitely using the 5 subs too, Ramsey, Wright, Kamara, Balogun (if Helander is available) to get on. 

Gio really needs to start using the squad. The run in is going to be tough on the legs.

Prefer us playing at home first leg . Hopefully get a couple of goals lead to take to Belgrade . 

[Darth Bear 15,100]

Our European form makes me think we'll win this and draw away. 

[HuistraHairDo 12,494]

Our league form compared to our European form is night and day, can only put that down to European teams actually wanting to play football and actually attacking in our half and leaving space. 

Fancy us for a 3-1 win 

Lundstram Balogun and Roofe to start for me.

 

 

[Blue Viking 702]

This game has came fast- if we play the same as we always play in Europe - we will take care of this team.

Hopefully convincing win at home and draw over there

[The Godfather 71,985]

Play a second string get minutes in for Diallo and Ramsay. 

All the effort and rest needs put into the league now. 

What's the point running ourselves into the ground handing them more millions when we make a cunt of it domestically. 

[BlueAvenger 10,270]

Think it will be a tough game and we need to play like we did against Dortmund or we will struggle.

Obviously our focus should be on winning the league but strictly speaking the only way to guarantee CL group is to win the EL as it’s still not 100% sure our league winners will qualify for CL group stage.  

(Can’t see it happening but if we fuck the league it would be hilarious to see them being thrown out the groups to be replaced by us as EL winners )

On a more realistic note if West Ham get past Sevilla they have a shot at winning but almost no chance of qualifying in top 4. That would knock us or the tims out the groups I think. They gave Liverpool a real hard time last night so has to be a consideration.

I agree. It will be harder than some think. Still doable though as their group was hardly the toughest to win. As you said the key is can we replicate the Dortmund performances

Anyone know how many they are bringing?

Not sure but when we played Partizan and Red Star the last time I think they barely had 100 between both games.

I know Serbia have very passionate fans but don’t know what they are like travelling.
