    No you don't :56::56::56::rolleyes:

    This isn't fitba manager, and thank * for that.

    Going gung-ho is something you do when you're losing a game and have nothing left but to go for it.

    Not giving them an away goal is important.

    Us scoring is important.

    Everything else is an ancillary concern.

    2-0 again would be fine for the home leg (the home leg is first right?).

    Are they better than Rennes team we beat 2 nil today.
    I thought Rennes were decent in first half and only we more into our pre season than them. Our fitness won game for us

    Friendlies don't really tell you much, though. This will be our first real test.

    I think a clean sheet is what is most important. I feel we can score in any game with the attacking players we have, home and away. If we keep a clean sheet at home we will go through IMO. Mulgrew has to play left back. Izzy is a nightmare.

    I would be comfortavle going over there 1-0. If a team opens up against us we have the type of players that can do damage.

    Dangerous game.

    As has been said, ideally you want a 2/3 goal lead to take over there.

    You'll not find many who'll disagree with that IMO. It virtually picks itself.

    Has to be Griffiths. In the long term, (in the coming years), I feel Cifti will be a bigger player for us but here and now Griffiths is the better player, he's also on form and Cifti isn't.

    This game is too important to play anything but our current strongest 11.

    It was a stronger Rennes team in the second half that played against, what arguably was, 2 first team players and reserves on the Celtic side.

    I expected Rennes to be a bit better tbh. Not much wrong with their players I think, but they were poor as a team.

    Remember when we played Dukla Prague?

    Friendlies don't mean a whole lot, especially ones early in your Pre-Season.

    It is just a friendly, but it's not really early into their preseason. That was their 6th friendly and their first competitive match is in two weeks. I'd be worried if I were them.


    Anyway, I'm actually pretty confident about Qarabaq. We've looked great so far and i saw part of their previous game in Montenegro. They looked very beatable. Feeling good about this.
