    One bad result and people suddenly think Villa are an easy game.

    The fickleness goes to other teams too.

    They have an excellent squad.

    Depth in every part of the pitch. That Duran barely ever starts and always scores, thats one example. Onana never played tonight.

    £31m made already without a ticket sales and 4 games to go mental amount of money man. 1 more win and draw and it will be more than you would get for winning the treble in Scotland for only 3 wins and 2 draws in UCL

    Brugge must be a good side. We will need to be at our best.

    Brugge looked very decent v Villa - we have a lot to do to get the 3 points.
    We'll need to be close to Leipzig performance to do so.

    Villa looked miles off it in fairness. Wasn't impressed with either of them.

    We need to bring the level of last night to wvery remaining game.

    We know all too well that slackness at this level will not go unpunished.

    Brugge and YB worry me slightly as a pessimist given that I've been here before going into ties vs Copenhagen or Bodo for example where our fans appeared almost too expectant of victory and it bit us.

    I'm sure Rodgers will have us prepped but we need to ensure we are on it. In saying the above, YB do look proper crap.

    That Atalanta result getting more crazy by the second, to think we very well could have snatched all 3 points too

    Brugge and Zagreb will be tougher ties than some are expecting imo, especially Zagreb, who have looked great outside of the Bayern game.

    There is absolutely no reason the game against Young Boys should be difficult, not only are they on 0 points in the CL (and they'll likely be out by the time they face us, they have Atalanta and Stuttgart next) they are 10th in the Swiss league, they are abysmal just now.

    One one from our remaining 4 should be enough to send us through, 2 draws would likely be enough, but I'd hope we aim higher than that. Ideally, there's no reason we shouldn't aim to win our next 3 games and aim for top 8.

    We need to be looking upwards, plenty of big teams sitting on the fringe of the 8, who is going to be able to get the wins to go up the table? Who looks out of place in the top 8? Hopefully top 8 is in our hands by the time we play Villa.

    That said, this is getting ahead of ourselves, win games and the rest takes care of itself, the next game is the most important.

    With the exception of the Dortmund fiasco we've looked * excellent this year, so far... Finally putting away our chances and pushing back teams so they're fearful of trying to counter us themselves. I think we'll still take 4-9points from the group (that's head Vs heart!) and we'll get whatever that brings us...

    But, for me! It's already been a successful campaign this year

    Interesting that for the coeffecient points finishing bottom of the Champions League gives ye the same points as the team at top of the Europa. Looks like we've a good chance of getting a right nice wad of points for a change, hopefully we can see that guaranteed group stage spot back in Scotland sooner rather than later.

    1 game is a meaningless sample size, imagine what Leipzig and Atalanta fans were thinking after the Dortmund game
