Reality

[J-Maestro 11,110]

We were absolutely shite last night with the completely wrong system.

Are we completely out of the tie though? No, if we can get a first half goal it opens up a lot and I’d take us over most teams over 120 mins if went to Extra Time.

It’s not over by a long shot. With 50000 bears behind the team we will do them at ibrox, we have to!! 

[Blue Viking 702]

If we play the way, we played last night - 100,000 bears will not help.

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Love the hope but i dont see where 3 goals are coming from with that squad or with the way GVB has us playing. The endless back passing and square balls does my head in. We dont have an attacking midfielder who looks to open up teams. 

[The Godfather 71,902]

Can this team keep a clean sheet? I'm not so sure.

[kelvd1873 7,164]

I way I see it is we can’t be defensive. We need to attack from the off. We get some early goals and they won’t know what’s hit them. Hopefully give killie a hiding first to get the confidence going.

With Kent and Morelos we have a chance, even Alfie at 50% is better than Colak

Change of shape, sharpen up a bit, up the intensity, packed and loud ibrox it’s do-able.

We’ve beaten much better sides than this lot.

[G.E.C. 18,792]

Play with the same aggression like we did at home to Braga and Leipzig we should level the tie at very minimum.

We get a goal as early as Braga it’s game on.

They aren’t a great side and we definitely have a chance but if we do stumble past this side has to get its act together quickly.

GVB needs to find a way to get this side creating more chances or we are looking at a disappointing season. 
 

Colak is getting slaughtered and might turn out to be a dud but he had nothing to work with last night. We can’t continue this side to side play in the hope something will happen. That last night was disgusting

The reality is the price of the Europa league package will be going up again to cover the CL loses.

[The Godfather 71,902]

Need to play 2 up top at the weekend and stop the defensive mindset to set us up for the return leg.

Pointless otherwise.

[RDB14 2,760]

We were shite last night but it’s so frustrating going into these games with no Kent and Morelos who completely transform the team.

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,703]

If Morelos and Kent aren’t back were in bother 

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Morelos has not played for months , theres no chance hes playing next week.

[RFC55 108,974]

He will be in the squad Saturday I believe.

He will play

Then why is he in the squad 

[mark1963 902]

The reality of our situation is that the manager is similar to his recent predecessors and has a reluctance to change his vision, this stubbornness is as was seen last night was hugely damaging , unfortunately I can't see him changing soon enough . There was a lot of low points last night but to see him sat on the bench looking lost really set my alarm bells ringing .

[Prso's headband 35,459]

If we start with the same intensity that Ibrox got us to Seville with I think we’ll level the tie. I can’t see us going through in 90 minutes I think we’d need to score 4 on the night because they’ll score

Because at some point he will be fit thats why , no chance hes playing in a week.

Again we were shite last night but see the pish people come out with I don’t know if they actually watch us.

Gio is usually very very quick to change the shape and personnel as has been witnessed in countless games over the past 4 months or so.

stick to come dine with me or some shite 

[mistergeneric 15]

I can understand the logic as it worked last year - play negative and take a slender loss or draw to Ibrox. It was the wrong decision here.

Felt that the problem was too many new players on at once who didn't know the system - Matondo for example didn't know what to do and kept getting in the way of Tav.

Honestly, Sands and Tillman were no replacement for Bassey and Aribo, we were missing that physicality badly if we were gonna try and grind a workable result

It would be a bit of a disaster if we again fail to get even the extra €5m for losing in the playoff.
