    It would be one of the big European nights if we were to pick up a win on Thursday.

    They are a good side, full of quality. They also need points after game 1.

    I cant say I know much about turkish football aside from that it is known for its hooliganism. I cant see this being an easy game for us however

    Bookies have us 9/5 and them 7/5. Think there good value at that tbh but would never bet against us, would feel super dirty.

    Attendance predictions?

    You don't need to know about Turkish football to understand they are a wealthy Club with a squad full of high earning quality.

    One look at their team tells you that.

    I know they have spent quite a lot of money and are bound to have a bit more quality than us but that generally never really strikes me with fear going into these games (Unless its a Madrid or Barca obviously, and even then I always fancy our chances.) But a lot of the time teams like Fenerbahce don't spend their money that wisely.

    RVP was declining at United and I've never really rated Nani that highly. He's a handful on his day but he's always been hit and miss. Diego and Raul Meireles are two decent players as well but again I don't think we should be terrified them. Other than those four I can't really say I am aware of what players they have in their squad.

    I see it in a similar way to how I saw the Inter game. Their team costs a lot more than us, they have better quality players that could potentially hurt us, but if we play to our best as a team, and get our tactics right in front of a loud Celtic support, then there is no reason why we can't win.

    To be honest I think everybody is underestimating Molde. They are no mugs, this could be anybody's group for the taking.

    I'd be happy with a draw, but wasn't aware of the squad they had.

    I think our lack of quality in front of goal could be the problem though.

    How the * did Ambrose work his way back into our strongest 11? :smiley-laughing002:

    Fair play to the guy.

    We sold Van Dijk and his £5.5m replacement decided to be injured since? :smiley-laughing002:

    He's doing well though. He's a good defender when he decides to concentrate. I don't trust it though, it'll not last long :56:

    Efe was brilliant beside Wilson. Him and VVD were not suited though. If he cuts out the aul Baresi madness and plays beside a traditional type center back he might still a future here in our first 11. Simunovic seems to be of a similar style to Boyata. I think if Efe hits form he would compliment one or the other. Shame about his domestic suspension hi.

    Chicos injured.

    I think Simunovic will be back and Ambrose will play there though.
