Carter Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 If we win this game we'll have pretty much done what I thought we'd do in the group. They're not a good side and we really need to be winning this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graygo Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 They're going to come here and try to shut up shop like they have in their previous away games. 1-0 from a penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Need to win this even for the financial reasons at stake, that and the fact we might not get group stage next year. It’s a must win tie for us. A heavy defeat by Istanbul and Fiorentina pick up a few injuries and we’re still in it going into game 6. Hope and belief is all we have atm.

This Massive game for hearts in the context. Will be a totally game to Celtic - but need to have same intensity and maybe one day we’ll stop shipping in totally avoidable goals This team may be organised and had 2 creditable draws vs Istanbul & Fiorentina but in reality there not great 2-0 hearts ( yes a clean sheet 😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Think we will miss Snodgrass on Thursday thought behind Devlin he was superb yesterday at linking play and getting them closed down.

brawlad74 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Confident going into this one but they need the same commitment as Sat minus the gift goals. An appearance from Barrie would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartofmidlothian Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 1-0 or 2-1 to us. I'd be happy with an aggregate 'win' across our two legs in the group, they've caused problems to the other teams and a draw wouldn't be a bad result. The fans deserve a show and something to cheer about at home, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 We should win and that'll mean we finish third in the group, as expected and as per seedings. If Fiorentina fail to win and we do then we go into the final round with a miniscule chance of qualifying. Despite some humpings taking it to the final gameweek is a decent achievement given how difficult our group was. Look at the state of the Glasgow two for comparison. The whole year has been a tough learning process. I do expect us to pick up domestically after we exit Europe and after the WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Really hoping that we win this one. Money at stake and the chance of still being in it until the last game (not that I think we will qualify) but it will be great if the last game's not a dead rubber. 3-2 to us.

Bauld Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The players need to believe that performances like that one against celtic will give results. If they turn up like that. We'll win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 While it is highly unlikely we will progress any further in this season's competition I think it is still important that we approach Thursday with the intention of winning that game. Winning home and away versus thr Latvians will net us around £1 million, money that we need to use well to put us in a position to try again in Europe next season.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 They seem to be able to scrap points from better teams. We need to respect that but not fear it. But we should win.

Pasquale for King Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 It will be interesting to see how they approach this game, they defended for their life against the top two but attacked us. They will see this as a chance to win a game and get the €500 win bonus. It might be an end to end all or nothing last twenty minutes. We might need to freshen the team up a bit after Saturday and the knocks we picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it could very well be a dead rubber for Başakşehir which could play in our favour. Furthermore, it looks already like over 500 travelling fans for Istanbul and my opinion is that any sort of shadow squad would be poor form, so hopefully that doesnt happen.

If they avoid defeat in Italy, they will be resting as many players as they can; they've only got 3 points out 9 in their league and have seriously lost momentum; there is 5 subs available now, though, that is making a difference I made nice money betting on them and fiorentina losing against Inter & Fenerbahce 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
