Boab 73 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Toure has been the best signing we've made in years IMO. Exactly the type of player we've been longing for to sit in the defensive midfield position. Instead of Edmilson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankatOxford 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 JCD is indeed a one man army. His performance against Stuttgart gave everyone confidence Rangers could score playing a 4-5-1. If I'm Barca I watch lots of film on JCD. And of course Gers get to watch of highlight packages of gap-tooth gaucho', Messi, Henry, absolutely demolishing teams. Thank god Eto'o won't play. He is just beast- and possesses a monomaniacal desire to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the type of player we've been longing for to sit in the defensive midfield position. Instead of Edmilson? Eddy wasn't too bad when he first turned up. But the past couple of seasons his form has gone right down hill. Not having had pre season training due to injury could be taken into account, but he's still not a world class player that Toure looks to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andygers 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I cannot wait for this game!!! I think we could shock them and top the group....Lets hope Stuttgart can do us a favour by beating Lyon, though I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of Peter Crouch, in terms of just being too akward to be a great footballer. Did win the World Cup though, and scored an overhead kick as a CB against Costa Rica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andygers 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I will be watching Barcelona vs Real Betis tonight very closely. It will be interesting to see how they play in front of their own fans. Also Betis will be playing a similar style to us so that could sort of tell me how they will deal with us on Wednesday.

YankatOxford 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Played 6 and won 6 at home this season. IN the Champions League played 1, won 1 away this season. However, Camp Nou is a different story than Lyon. Would be incredibly pleased with a draw. A win would be the best away result of the last thirty years I'd say.

adamcs 1 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The only chance we have of scoring in this game is from set pieces, so it's McCulloch ahead of Novo for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarcaMurph 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I don't actually live in Barcelona, so only know a few locals opinions. But the opinion of the supporters club i'm president of is that it's a game we should win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen much of Barca or Lyon this year, but if you have 10 points you may not be in need of a win over there. Confident of a win in France?

BarcaMurph 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Barca will always go out with the intent to win, the fans wouldn't let them be any other way. Winning and winning well is something fans want to see. That is the amount of pressure on the players. So we'll certainly go to Lyon to win the game and we'll also be wanting to top the group. I wouldn't expect less than a draw in france. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
