    I'd go for the same team I think. Though no matter who we put on the field we'll probably shrivel up and die and lose 3-0 to the power of Helsinki :icon_mrgreen:.

    Nah I think it'll be the same scoreline, 2-1 to the good guys :50:

    Just noticed there's only ten men :56: ... * it add in commons too

    Usually people put 12 players in their team, rarely 10. :56:

    Is Samaras not maybe our longest serving? Guess it's probably pretty close.

    Samaras joined on loan in January 2008, Brown in the summer of 2007. Brown is the longest serving player.

    Sammy signed in January 08, Brooney at the start of that season.
    I think we're definitely a better side with Brown, his drive, energy and leadership was exactly what was missing on Saturday.

    That'd be mine, We shouldn't be negative and invite them onto us by playing all ball winning midfielders. We're the bigger team... we should be acting like it.


    Lennon will no doubt want to fit in "His bhoys" Samaras n Brown in their Though:38:

    The Bhoys know what is needed to get us into the next round and I fully expect them to deliver the goods.

    Helsinki have to open up and attack and we have to stay focused. Keep it solid at the back and get the draw or win needed by taking any chances we do get.

    If they win 1-0 we are out is what he means. Like if they go 1-0 up we might panic as we need to score or something. Hence why hes saying it might be a mental game - as will we go out to score first and see the game out or will we go for a 0-0 and just try to make sure they dont score.

    If it was 1-0 or 3-1 to us, then the gameplan would almost certainly be just keep it calm and simple and go for 0-0 as if they score it changed nothing really and we're still in it. But at 2-1, them scoring means we need to score, so should we sit in or should we go for it thinking if we score it'll be atleast extra-time as I couldnt see them getting 3.

    Internet connection went dodgy there for a few hours, sorry for the late reply. Shows how good our squad is though when I didn't even notice there was someone missing. That team of ten looks excellent to me :56:

    I'll fix it now. Add in Commons :50:

    Tempted to put Fraser on the bench rather than Wilson, but I feel Lenny will opt for Tebily Mark II

    Just to let you know, you can respond directly to other people's posts by pressing the wee green 'quote' button at the bottom of their message. Saves you having to type out usernames all the time. Unless you prefer doing that, of course :50:

    Stokes on the right hand side of midfield ?

    I am convinced you are at the wind up. Last week it was Izaguirre as an attacking winger, then it was Samaras in central midfield in a Champions League qualifier.
