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.

Welcome to the forum Petsi. 

I have no doubt you guys will be very competitive. We on the other hand are fresh from a moral boosting performance in the season opener against the best passing team in the league and will be high on confidence. Let's hope it will be an entertaining encounter and may the best team win.

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

Thanks mate, it's a wicked place. Looking forward to perusing the art galleries once again
