Some night, roll on the play off

 

:smiley-laughing002:What a night!

 

post updated

 

really lacking some attacking players.could do with another 2 wingers and a striker.

really hoping rogic plays in the playoff as hes a real threat.griffiths and roberts only two dangerous players at the minute.

 

They completely lost it at the end.

 

Good. 2 last minute winners to pump the goat molesters :veryhappy:

 

Done already m8

:icon_mrgreen:

 

she "grows" on you :smiley-laughing002:

 

Any videos of the celebrations at the end, players and supporters?

 

Just back from the game. What a Finnish, place was buzzin

 

What was the second lad sent off for descent was it?

 

posted them mate on the last page

 

I saw one red and a yellow at the end but missed the second red. Was too busy celebrating. Must have been tho

 

Wasn't great but they didn't buckle under the pressure of losing that goal. That's a huge step forward in my book. Thought Broonie was immense and Dembele gave them something different when he came on.

Was really worried when Toure came on and the gap in defence appeared straight down the middle. Gordon again showed tonight that he is dodgy under the pressure.

 

I actually Pukkied right at the end. Spewed all over the shop I was that nervous.

 

Roberts, Tierney, O'Connell, Dembele, Janko, all 20 years old or younger, quite remarkable to have so many youngsters in the team and to rely on them as much as we do on Roberts or Tierney for example.

 

Think leavin rogic out and Dembele late sub was tactical. Im guessing they will both start Saturday, hopefully Roberts too. Strong attackin team for Hearts.

 

* going to the game with you !!!!:icon_mrgreen:

 

Still palpitating slightly....
Looking back. We REALLY dominated a decent side, over 2 legs.
A side that played group stage CL last season as well, and 3 months into their league campaign!!! Fitter and better, as many said before the 1st leg.
All this done by Rodgers with 1 arm tied behind his arm.
Players were falling like flies. Rodgers brings calmness, something we have improved on, in our play. He gets his players fit [Allowed to eat chips though] and disciplined on the park. He seen Ambrose was awful, so gave O'Connell the confidence to play superbly over 4 games in Europe so far, Efe is gone, sold this or next week. Rodgers can see mistakes will keep happening.
Also tonight he brought on Toure and it nearly went chebs up for him. Why Gordon didn't just catch the ball or let it fly through to him, I have to see it again. I think Gordon is scared, but he has made STUNNING saves last few weeks. 1st leg of this game he saved us, tipping an Efe head-back over the bar and more. Maybe Rodgers will give Bailly a chance?
One thing we have learnt in these 2 sets of qualifying games is Rodgers won't panic, after the Red Imps game he spoke EXACTLY the same way as he did after the 1st leg last week, he learns from his mistakes. Rodgers is the REAL DEAL...Now Europe is a definite, I think we will see players come and go [Not in the same way with or like my Mrs above] The board best back the man, because every fan can now see Rodgers can get through HARD GAMES with * players in some positions. My * I get a semi-detached at the thought of Rodgers bought/own 11 in a year or so from now. Sinclair deal will be done now for sure...

I think I counted the injuries as:

Defence:
Logan Bailly
Jozo Simunovic
Dedryck Boyata
Charlie Mulgrew (Still on official site)
Erik Sviatchenko
Kristoffer Ajer

Midfield:
Nir Bitton
Kris Commons
Gary Makay-Steven
R. Christie (? just wasn't involved in squad tonight?)
Patrick Roberts (Came off tonight injured)

Also, Stefan Scepovic is still down as 'Away on loan'
​

Stressful game, I actually walked out my livingroom till I heard the Mrs shout [YESSSS] Then came back in and screamed so loud I chased the guy who was * her, making her scream 'YESSS'...away...
Or something along these lines
But I am on it

Did somebody say Pukki...













Non-GM's will have to imagine the gif, though. * getting a ban during the qualifiers.
