This is the tense, atmosphere, mental u r gonna face in Istanbul..

 

Re-do the poll.

I imagine the results will be very different after tonight

 

I'm sticking with my 3rd place prediction on 7 points

 

4th with 2 points.

 

Voted third, possibly more in hope than expectation :smiley-laughing002:

 

:smiley-laughing002:Be lucky to get 4th now

 

3rd with 5 points. Squad isn't good enough.

 

Where the * else could we finish? :smiley-laughing002:

 

Just voted 3rd. Not convinced by this window but anything better would be a bonus.

 

4th

 

3rd with 7 points.

Think we will get two wins and a draw. Most likely home to Ajax and Molde and then maybe get a draw away in Norway.

 

Really thought after the shambles of last week and the clear weaknesses in the squad that Ronny would at least get to re-invest the VVD money.

At first I was looking forward to the Europa League. Now I'm absolutely dreading it. Ajax and Fenerbahce will give us a dressing down, all the while Lawwell gives no *.

 

Lack of firepower. Makeshift defence who have never played together. Midfield pairing who got bossed by Malmo. Unbelievably inconsistent wide players.

We're gonna get *.

 

2nd, think we'll do well, great learning curve for the team.

 

Disgustingly true. Pathetic stuff.

 

I'm confident. Our players should be better for that Malmo farce; the younger ones, and some of the older ones, will have learned / got a reminder of what a tricky away Euro tie can be like. We shouldn't see that Celtic side be so toothless again. Plus people are forgetting when we are playing the way we can few teams could deal with that. We just, hopefully, should be a bit wiser after the Malmo fiasco.

I think we can 2nd, I hope for 1st and obviously that's what we should be aiming for but ultimately I see us in 2nd, which would not be too shabby at all.
Armstrong is looking better and better all the time, I really see him becoming a massive player for us domestically and in Europe. His back was bugging him recently so that why he had to come off in the Malmo games, which sucked, but he will be brilliant for us.
Also think Scott Allan's ability to split a defence would have come in handy in Sweden. We have a really strong midfield/attack, guys and our defence is still good it's just easy to see why it seems bad cus Virgils gone etc., but I am confident.
