I see Red Star's opposition had a player sent off in 4 of their last 6 matches, so hope we're street smart for this.

Can see them being another team who's players roll around on the floor and make a meal out of everything.

You can guarantee that they will do that.  

[SIRB_72 4,148]

McGregor, Tav, Goldson, Balogun, Bassey, Jack, Lundstram, Aribo, Arfield, Kent, Alfie

Much rather Aribo off the right with Arfield closer to Alfie.

I’m a bit nervous about this game, RSB are the type of team we have struggled to break down this season.  Very organised, strong defensively but also have 2 very good strikers.  Flashbacks to Slavia Prague with the same play acting.  
 

I expect a cagey game but if we’re as good as we were v Dortmund we can get a good result to take to Belgrade.  Can see a 1-1 though.

Any slight win hopefully be good enough as I think we are set to do better away from home...

Can see a cagey game tomorrow night with a narrow victory, and then predict we'll create more chances away from home.

What sort of support are they bringing?

[GersInCanada 7,775]

The way we set in the 2nd half v Dortmund is what I would like to see. Go with 3 at the back adding an extra body to the midfield. Basically a 3-5-1-1 with Bassey and Tav allowed to bomb forward when the opportunity is there.

Ramsey’s on the bench

Ramsey on the bench to make it look like he’s fit when in fact he’s still mikes off 

[ShanksRFC 3,882]

Doubt Ramsey will play much between now and the end of the season. Incredibly frustrating the money that's been squandered which could have been used elsewhere to strengthen.

Most frustrating thing is if a player of that quality had been available the draws would have been wins. 
A complete disaster. Probably too late now even if he can make an appearance or two

Was at Liverpool v Inter last night. Enjoyed it but their European game atmosphere pales in comparison to Ibrox.

Unless he scores the winner at the piggery

I don’t really get why Gio sometimes feels the need to confirm whether certain players will/won’t be starting in his press conferences. I assume he’s just answering honestly and I get it if confirming whether they are in the squad or not but whilst it probably makes little material difference, I’d rather not give away any team planning to the opposition.

[BuffaloUSAGers 1,425]

Slavia and Malmo should be major object lessons for the team. We can’t screw around passing the ball around in our own end for a half like we did against St. Johnstone and Aberdeen. We  need to get right on top of Red Star and stay there. The thought of going to Belgrade tied or behind and looking at a time wasting bus parking masterclass is not pleasant.

[The Monk 3,209]

Bit gutted I couldn’t get the time off work for this but hope it’s another great night for all those in attendance.

I’m expecting a tight game, perhaps a bit similar to Legia, but we seem to be a different team in Europe and I’m confident we can get take a lead to Belgrade.

That’s exactly what happened against Aberdeen
