Jorg Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I wonder if Walter will have a sleepless night picking his team for tomorrow. A must win game to get back on track in the league, I fancy Boyd to start and grab a couple of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 If we can't beat a team happy to ship four goals against Aberdeen we might as well concede the title now. Saying that, we'll probably scrape a 2-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Good win yesterday. Important to keep winning in the league as the Barca game takes care of itself. Bit pedestrian after the early goal (a good move and finish actually) but when Cousin and JCD entered the fray the whole stadium got a lift and the pace of the game increased. After that we could easily have scored 6 or 7 but Caley could have had a couple as well on the break. Hemdani was excellent as usual, Papac as offensively minded as I've ever seen him and wee Novo gave his usual energy. Beasley was perhaps our most dangerous player late on but he has to improve him final ball. Indeed, both his and Ferguson's set-pieces were nothing short of dreadful. Onto Spain then and what a game it will be. They will be well up for it and we'll do well to get any kind of positive result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted November 4, 2007 SI Staff Share Posted November 4, 2007 I watched the second half of the Barcelona game and they looked good as usual. We're going to have to work very hard to contain them, especially on such a massive pitch where the likes of Messi are going to get more space to run at our defence. Assuming we want to play three in the centre of the park I'm not sure who we are going to play alongside Hemdani and Ferguson now that Thomson is suspended. I would maybe play McCulloch in the centre and put Darcheville wide left to help out Papac with Messi and have some pace and hard work down the left. Likewise, Novo on the left to get back and help out Hutton. Then Cousin the lone man up front. Please please please please Walter don't play Faye.

I agree, it was a shocker and would probably agree with Brown when he said the guy was trying to break his leg. You don't want to see that and however frustrated a player gets in a game you just can't do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Whilst the expectations of the team have undoubtedly increased in Europe this year, I suspect that most supporters, if they are being honest, fear the worst for tonight and would be happy if the team escapes with pride intact. They have become hard to beat, but you feel that a quality team with so much possession will eventually break the defence down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacemaker7 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah agree with Fraz. As long as we are not Besiktased then it will be fine. I seriously don't think we have any chance of taking anything from this match - but on the other hand, I don't think we'll lose by much more than three. I suppose a lot depends on when Barca score and what their attitude is and if our players can keep their heads up if we go behind early, which I think they can.

TM Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 the bigger pitch is going to cause us problems with Messi and Ronaldinho having more space, at Ibrox Papac and Hutton were able to stop the attack from the wings, if we can somehow hold them and frustrate, then maybe but I'd be happy with a small defeat, maybe 2-0 or so, although I was quite impressed with how Cousin played the lone striker role and he seemed to have the beating of their defence at times, Beasley will be able to use his pace to maybe give them problems as well but a small loss would be fine to me as we still have the lead over Lyon whatever happens tonight in their game and if they beat Stuttgart, we are guaranteed that UEFA Cup place with 2 games to go which is nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
