Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I actually think we are capable of finishing second in the group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
excoriate 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I think its all about enjoying the ocassion. I hope we don't play too defensively, but now that we were stuck into this group of death I think we will. 3rd if we're lucky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_RFC 41 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 any tim iv spoke to continue to say we are going to get molested (pot , kettle black..but thats a different story ) when we go to the Nou camp in particular. There is no way we are going to get turned over by any of these 3 teams 3 or 4-0... we will handle ourselves well the home games are the ones we need to pick up points in , if we get off to a flier in the first 2 games.. say 4 pts out of 6 going in to the barca double header id be pleased. with a bit of luck we can finish 2nd..which should be our aim. realistically however its probably gonna be UEFA cup football for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancedeangers1 287 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 We will beat both Stuttgart and Lyon at home. Beyond that its hard to say? I think a priority should be to stay unbeaten at home, and the way to do that is to attack for 90 minutes and give the opposition both barrells.

nvager 498 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 None of these ties are two legged affairs so we need to be POSITIVE and play TWO up front. Keep Believing - we will be ok and will surprise a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I can see Barca doing us 3,4-0 at Camp Nou. But..theres every possibility that we can win the rest of the game. Will we? That is a different story altogether. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 21 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 At 200-1 to win it, a wee £1 says we'll top the group!! Realisticly, I'd be happy with good performances, good relashionships formed and a third place finish for the Uefa Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest orangpendek Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 time for some henry kissinger realpolitik. we are finishing 4th in this group. the aims of the season were 1-either win or compete very closely for the title and 2-qualify for CL. if we make the uefa cup i'd be amazed. doesn't mean we can't try, or that we can't hope, but in the cold light of day these teams are all light years ahead of us and we are relying on fighting hard and lots of luck. it may happen, i doubt it.

Muff 245 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Honestly dont have a clue how we will do? We need to win all our home games and maybe sneak a few away from home. Think Barca will run away with it so it will come down to what the other 3 teams do. We must get of to a good start if we want to make the last 16.

ricardopatrese 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Absolutely everything depends on the injuries we sustain right up until the last game is played and avoiding stupid bookings. If lady luck shines on us and our first choice first team stays injury free and we avoid aforesaid stupid bookings, then there is definitely no reason we cannot be in there at the death to actually win this group. Barca will not overrun us in midfield cos they wont be allowed to and our defence should have a decent chance of handling ronaldinho and messi. Lady luck is required again here, but i've alway looked on the bright side of life! Lyon and Stuttgart will be tough right enough, but I think we have more about us in the centre, down the wings and in the middle of both boxes where it matters. Fuckin' bring it on!

mark_ni 12 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 its going to be one of the biggest challenges we have ever faced and if we do manage to get to the last 16 it will be one of the greatest achievements in our history. I believe we can finish 2nd. Yes on paper barca will hammer us but i was saying that about the tims and man utd/milan last year and it didnt happen. Not due to them playing well either jammy beggars!! Barca are not unbeatable. They have an amazing attack but if we keep it tight and hit them on the counter attack i think we could really cause them some problems, i am certainly not convinced by their GK and i reckon hes their weak link.

the goal machine 7,824 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 With Smith as manager I don't think we will be hammered by Barca. We have a lot more fight and determination than other Rangers teams who would have gone done hardly. We will lose probably in the Nou Camp but I don't thnik it will be a hammering. I'm quietly confident we can get Europe after Christmas, whether it be Uefa Cup or Last 16 I don't know but I'm hoping for the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab wilson 3,250 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Heres a shock...........1st. Come on the rangers.Intae the fuckin lot of them. Barca are shite away in groupstages and they will never have experienced anything like ibrox in full voice, certainly not the Bigjockknewcamp or stamford bridge. Lyon are under reginald perrin these days and have lost their whole left side.Stuttgart are just shite.They are facing the rangers for fuck sake.Aye Ready!
