team becomes more and more clear alisson gomez Konate VVD Tsimkas Henderson Thiago (one of these is due dropping) Salah firmino Jota Nunez We have carvalho to come in for jota there. We still have the great jimmy milner, we still have fabinho, we still have the great Nat phillips just get the win any way we can! Sling the ball at the forwards FFS. Get jota and nunez in the box on headers.
If we can’t comprehensively beat a poor team like Rangers then we are in deep deep trouble. 0-3 easy win.
**** sake. It's St mirren. Seriously. Did you not see them last week. I saw their **** and I saw their fans and know what the ground will be like so we need to not encourage this lot. This should be an easy routine win... but we are **** so it won't be so we have to dig it out
We simply have to beat these Scottish minnows. Anything but a win will put us at risk of dropping into the Europa especially if Ajax gets something from their Napoli game. If we draw or lose we need Napoli to beat Ajax. Yes it will mean we will forego a first place but have a greater chance to get second place. The reality is Ajax and Napoli will get maximum points from their games against the scots.
Not that strange. Especially a draw. Napoli are almost a certainty to qualify to the knock out stages. I can see Napoli resting key players. Whereas Ajax need something from this game. More hunger from them and a draw might suit both teams.
Cant see them resting players. Win this and they are through. They can then rest players in next 2 games. Lose this and suddenly they will need to probably win both final games
It also has prize money at stake and the home crowd want a show. Also factor in ajax are very average. Napoli still favourites as resting now will put lfc back in the picture level on points with them for 1st place. If I were napoli I would want to win the game l, qualify for last 16 and all but win the group in one swoop this week. Easier last 16. Easier last two games (potentially last game away to lfc is dead rubber) Group win Max prize money
No. They will need a draw and a win max. There are a maximum of 36 points available. A team with at least 13 points has to qualify!
Why would anyone give up the easier ride in last 16 by just thing the minimum to get through in 2nd. They need to put ajax out and they are through and have such a lead on us thst they only need turn up on last game. They play rangers at home as well. In short they are 1st in serie a and 1st in group so this thing called.momentum.is not to be triffled with. None of this changes my mindest that we.must beat rangers this week and then go to ajax who are ****e and get no worse than a draw.
Point remains. Why rest players in this game to then have to get a positive result in the final 2 games. when 1 positive result in this game (even a draw in this game) would secure them their qualifications.
