What are our chances of progression from this group?

2 tough games 2 points and sitting second in the group.

Next up is Molde away which Imo is a must win, if we can then beat molde at paradise we are in a very good position to go through on 8 points. This will be more difficult than we think as molde have had 2 great results and are sitting top right now.

Whats everyone's thoughts on were we are right now?

To put things into perspective for tonight our starting 11 tonight was built for less than the value of van persies contract = £16M (£12M over 3 years + £4M signing on fee - not transfer fee)

:snack::snack:

 

Fair to good

 

Good, I'd say. Cutting out the silly defensive mistakes i.e. dropping Ambrose - will go a long way toward sorting out our problems.

 

We needed to win this game but the fact we drew away to Ajax and Ajax drew away to the Norway team that's a good result for us. But this game should have been won tonight which is why there's a backlash on the manager tonight saying that we should be beating the Norway team home and away otherwise the manager is gonna be getting it.

 

If we get 6 points from our two remaining home games I think we will do it.

 

Decent.

 

I'll be disappointed if we don't qualify.

4 points against Molde should be doable. We can and should beat Ajax at home, and we can get a point in Turkey.

 

* knows

We'll lose to Fener away and probably Molde away

Think we'll draw with Ajax and beat Molde at home.

 

We need to get it done at home. Until we do we are looking like going out. Honest assessment. We possibly need an away result as well which complicates things.

 

This game tonight was exactly the sort of game we should be winning to qualify. It's still possible because all teams are quite levelled in this group.

 

Most likely scrap another couple of draws and go out. We have the ability to qualify but I fear we will get a beating if we do. Need performances at the level of the inter game to even be in with a shout and so far it hasn't happened.

 

I know stats arnt everything but looking at them Ajax looked as if they were very unlucky tonight. Molde held in well but their keeper needed to save 10 shots tonight. They are sitting 7th in their league with 25 games played. We should be aiming for max points if we get that the highest anyone else in the group can be sitting on is 8 drawing with us. I think we have a good chance.

Everyone can take points of each other in this group, 8 points may be enough. Winning our next two home games are vital.

Is it goal difference or head to head it goes on?.

 

I think once all is said and done there won't be a huge number of points between the team finishing 1st and the team finishing 4th.

From what I've saw of the 4 teams, albeit none of Molde yet, there really isn't much between the 4. Fenerbache looked very average tonight as did Ajax the other week. 4 average, evenly mayched teams. In my opinion, we could just as easily finish 1st as we could 4th.

I put our changes as somewhere between "decent" and "good". If we can play as we have so far in the two games, cutting out the defensive errors and holding on to a lead if we get one, then I think we'll do it.

 

I would say poor to middling. Our defence looks suspect no matter what combination Deila picks, Johansen is a man down and Deila keeps playing him, and Gordon has forgotten what a clean sheet is.

 

Play how we did in that first half and we'll beat both Ajax and Molde at home..

8 point's and something at Molde will see us through..

 

Given the other result tonight we are in as good a position as before KO and I expect we will progress
