    Being away from home I still think we need three men in midfield.

    Gordon

    Lustig Denayer Van Dijk Izzy

    Ambrose

    Mulgrew Johansen

    McGregor___________Commons

    Berget

    That's how I would play it.

    Make no mistake this will be a huge step up. I hope we aren't as naive as we were vs Legia, if we play as high a line as we did today we'll get utterly thumped.

    It's shocking the quality difference between SPFL and Europe. We go from 70% possession and defending with 2 players on the halfway line and our full backs nearer the opposition area, to being under the cosh and running around like headless chickens as our shape gets ripped apart.

    Keep it tight bhoys, this game needs Lennon and not Deila tactics. 0-0 draw i'll be * delighted.

    A * of a lot more confident for this now than I was yesterday that's for sure!

    It's a risky tactic, especially in Europe, but the pressing game we played today was so effective and the reason we were winning corners and free kicks which led to our goals, not to mention Johansen's. If we go into the Maribor game, keep it tight for the first 20 minutes and then implement the pressing game we could really take them by surprise and hopefully capitalise on a few errors.

    Steady on. Can't see Maribor being as * or giving us any where near as much space as Dundee Utd.

    We're have to focus 100% and play brilliantly to get anything out of this, a 3-0 win would be astonishing.
