Missing bassey and its showing massively imo.

Hope the young turk can go one. Rather blood him than negative barasic.

Id go with 4 2 4

We need to give him and Tav the space to run into especially if Kent is only a sub, at best. Lawrence at number ten with Yilmaz overlapping, Tillman and Tav doing the same on the right.

[Swagger 7,989]

Just hope to fuck they’ve learned from the home shambles against Malmo. 
Apparantly 5 million pound on the line to see off this lot even before the chance of a go at Monaco or PSV  - fucking massive

European nights at Ibrox are back and we find ourselves in a difficult situation going in two goals behind Royale Union Saint Gilloise in this tie. We must rally round our players until the very last to help them overturn this deficit and make it as hostile and uncomfortable for the opposition.

The stadium PA will be off from 7.30pm, from then on it will be our responsibility to give everything we can for the players. Get to your seats early and let your voices be heard!

I’m loving this becoming a regular thing on big game nights

I don’t need to explain anything about it against Leipzig, everyone knows

Their strength is their defence,  they will be solid we need to break that. Accurate shooting and perhaps Arfield making those breaking runs into the box or someone doing what Arfield does

 

In fact any shooting instead of slow passive play would be good 

We play this slow recycled shite then we are doing the Belgians work for them.

Let’s be honest most of the stadium sang for 10 mins max pre Leipzig then the place fell silent and the pa put the music back on.

Barisic, Kent and Morelos on the bench, absolutely certain.

Gio really not into Sakala so he’ll be on the bench too.

Lundstram, Davis, Jack/Kamara, Tillman to start and then it’s between Arfield and Lawrence. I think he’ll go for Lawrence giving him Arfield off the bench if needed.

[Essandoh 21,208]

We need to physically bully this mob tonight, the squad was far too lightweight in Belgium

Well that team loses 

[.Williamson. 82,251]

As I said previously I would start Morelos and then sub him around 60 minutes. We need goals as quick as possible tonight and I would rather we play Alfie from the word go and take him off later on than the other way around

I really don’t think that’s the case to be honest. He’s mostly played CB to get his move, and our issue is struggling to create rather than defend. 

[graeme_4 34,537]

I’d be going…

McLaughlin

Tav Goldson Sands Ridvan

Lundstram Davis

Matondo Tillman Kent

Morelos

 

I’d rather try and get a good 60 mins out Morleos and Kent, and then bring on Colak and Lawrence. 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,729]

If our attitude is right and we get a high tempo from the start then we've undoubtedly got the quality to turn this tie around. If not, we'll lose the tie.

We'll be able to tell within the first 5 mins which way its most likely to go.

[Orangeclement 570]

My worry is our tendancy to have a really poor half and a very good half we can't afford that tonight it's got to be positive football get in front and keep the foot down none of this sitting back inviting pressure if we get in front.

[AGM_72 3,637]

Starting fast and scoring early will be crucial, but it's going to be important to stay with the team. Once the first goal comes, I think we'll do enough to win the tie but I can see it being a long night with patience required on the park and off it. Maybe 2-0 in the last 15 mins and into extra time to get the 3rd. 

I think the team will be:

McLaughlin

Tav Goldson Sands Yilmaz

Lundstram Davis

Wright Tilman Kent

Colak

But I'd probably start Matondo and Morelos.

And bassey was our biggest attacking threat the 2nd half of the season mate.

Even from cb, his pressing, willing to win and marauding runs put us on the front foot causing havoc in the other half.

not wright again please

 

 

[RoboBearToo 376]

Don't think we can risk starting Alfie. This could go all the way and I don't think he's got 120min in him so soon after being out.

Bring him on around the 60min mark. I'd do the same with Kent.

Was he? He played CB for most of it… 

[The No.9 760]

I don’t think Morelos has 60mins in him he still looks out of shape.

id use him second half or.. if we are still chasing it we might need to go all in and play him and Colak up top together throw the kitchen sink at them.
