Despite Gio trying to claim it was a good result away from home it absolutely wasn’t, I don’t think we had a proper chance in the entire game, it was a shocking performance and we were lucky the 4th best team in Portugal didn’t score more against us. We’ve seen in the return leg, and in Dortmund we are at our best when attacking the opposition. Blumhoilann and LiverpoolBlue 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on top the entire second half when we finally went at them but our finishing was rotten as usual. They were showing the defensive weaknesses we exploited at Ibrox. They never looked like scoring in the second half and in the first half only scored on a deflection. ayrshireranger and SeparateEntityMyArse 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how well or badly we played it is the result that he was talking about. I'd take the same again and be confident of having a good chance of making the final. Would much rather do a Dortmund against them though. Roy Hobbs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the Braga away game, but on the flip side, any result that leaves us in the tie for 2nd leg is obviously good. It's a catch 22. Wouldn't like to be Gio having to decide that.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Team almost picks itself allowing there are no more additions to the injury list. Although id personally be tempted to go 3,5,2 and tuck the wingbacks in to start with at least i can only see the gaffer going his preferred 4,3,3 This Leipzig lot apparently like to play quite narrow and flood the midfield so Kent could cause them all sorts of problems. Other than the shape tactically similar to ourselves so we may cancel each other out, canny be bad for an away first leg in europe , but if we can nick a goal and take a lead back to Ibrox i think they'd leave space at the back for us to capitalize on.

We’ve seen in the return leg, and in Dortmund we are at our best when attacking the opposition. That was about the performance, and several poor individual performances, not the approach or the tactics. Opening up and going for it, especially with the players we have available, will be madness. Even more so than it would have in Braga. And it wasn't a good result, but it was an acceptable result that absolutely played its part in us winning the overall tie. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said this to my dad last night As long as the tie is alive coming back to Ibrox I’m confident we can get through Leipzig are another squad that won’t be used to the atmosphere and Braga showed us just how big an impact it can have on good players. Within minutes they were all over the place because of the noise. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
