I'm watching philipp degen play out of his skin for Young boys right now. If we can't get our squad players playing a europa league qualifier, what's the point of having them? If Darby or Kelly is our back-up right back - let's give'm a go!

It's not Phillip Degen - it's his twin brother

I´d put a strong team out and go héll for leather for 2 goals in the first 20 mins then take the foot off the pedal.

In fact I´d play the older players - The Greek, Fabio, maybe Aqualani, Phill Babb etc.. rather than the young lads.

Yeah Im with you Reg, very tricky this as I certainly dont want this comp treated like the league cup.

However the further we progress in this competition the more it will impact on our league campaign and UCL qualification for next season

Of course the fact I also depise Monday night matches as well has a big bearing

Off to Amsterdam early doors on Thursday morning so looking forward to watching this one in one of the bars, hope we don't make a hash of this one!!! Ideal opportunity to give the likes of Babel, Torres, Aurelio and Kuyt some much needed minutes. Obviously Joey Cole will play 90 minutes and I imagine we'll see a debut for Poulsen. Hoping to see a couple of the kids make the squad, I'd like to see Kelly get a start at RB and maybe the likes of Pachecho and Shelvey on the bench.

Agree very much with your sentiments about the game mate. Oh, and have a nice one in Amsterdam - I was there about a month ago and it's a great little city

to be honest that game should put an end to this hype around harry.

what top manager would ever play one defensive midfielder in a 4-4-2 away from home in the champions league?

Hi friends,

First of all, i should let you know that i have great sympathy and respect to LFC side and espicially to glorious fans of the club. I feel that there will be a very friendly challenge between these two teams.

I'm a Tranbonspor (TS) fan, and i've been just registered to inform you who you are playing against.

TS have been champions for 6 times in Turkey and first team to win it after the big-three (Galatasaray-Fenerbahce-Besiktas) Istanbul clubs.

The most interesting side of this tie is that TS and LFC was tied in 76-77 season and TS won the first leg 1-0 at home, but lost 3-0 away. In that year LFC had been the champions of all competitions and the team that only beaten was TS the whole year. The GK of TS was Senol Gunes who is now the manager at Trabzonspor (He was also the manager to national team et 2002 world cup, where we grabbed the 3rd place at the tournament). He joined us for the 4th time as manager in January 10' and TS side have not been conceding more than 1 goal in a game since he joined us. After having joined us, TS achieved to win Turkish cup, beating Fenerbahce in final 3-1 and just 10 days ago the super cup beating the defending champion Bursaspor 3-0 thanks to hatrick performance by Teofilo.

Trabzonspor likes to play pass to feet and slow tempo football. Defence line is generally high and the team narrows area to the opponent in the middle. TS have the most creative mid players among the Turkish soccer teams, espicially Colman, Alanzinho and Yattara. We have also newly grabbed Jaja from Methalist who's an explosive striker but not performed for TS yet. Additionally, LFC should be careful on Umut's heading performance from aerial freekicks and corners.

LFC should improve the tempo and be careful on locking TS's key players in the middle. I wish a friendly challenging serie and hope that the best team wins it.

If you have question about TS, please ask it.

give it time, it'll turn bitter :laugh:

Need to win this by two or three clear goals, Turks are notorious poor travellers but the away leg will be a different kettle of fish.
