Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
Last 32 tie against an old favourite of SteveO and Rodders Hopefully we can build on today's second half ringholing of the Toon.

Re: Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
I would rotate for this - martinelli, dozer, torreira, willock, laca all in.
We play a 3-5-2 - keep it tight and look for the clean sheet.
Hopefully tets appreciates the importance of that and building on the last few defensive displays.
Greece is always difficult away, but we should muller them 2nd leg, so thats how i'd play this one.

This is not the league cup, this is still our only realistic route to the CL, if he doesn't play his strongest team you/I/everyone should not be happy.

We will not be good enough for the CL though, and i dont think we can win the EL anyway. I think the game against Everton is much more important in the long run.Gunnersaurus wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 6:29 pmclockender1 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 9:55 pmI would rotate for this - martinelli, dozer, torreira, willock, laca all in.

The Walrus of Love is back! Get ready Rodders.......the missus is out that evening too and I can only hope she isn't planning on baking anything before she goes out otherwise it will be like American Pie at Chez SteveO........I'll be dry humping the cushions all eveningrodders999 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 11:50 amIt's only Monday and I'm already sopping, come Thursday evening there will be an explosion in my undies and everyone's invited.falkirk goon wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 8:17 pmLast 32 tie against an old favourite of SteveO and Rodders Hopefully we can build on today's second half ringholing of the Toon.

Ah ok, let's not bother to turn up then and concentrate on a meaningless PL game against Everton at the weekend which means absolutely nothing.clockender1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 7:22 pmWe will not be good enough for the CL though, and i dont think we can win the EL anyway.

Do you not realise that winning the Europa is the same prize as finishing 2nd in the PL? Why are so many so dismissive of the importance of giving everything to try and win this?
We were 45 mins away from winning it last year, off course we can win it.
Re: Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
No doubt a good win will be greeted with 'it's only olympiacos in the shitty europa by certain people here. let's hope it's a defeat then the arteta haters can really pull him to peices with a smile on their faces,sad

Re: Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
How on earth can a meaningless league game at the sanitised Kroenke Dome be more important in the long run than a European knockout tie away from home in front of 30000 Greek nutters? Please explain.
Re: Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
1-3 to the Arsenal.

Re: Olympiakos A Thu 20th Feb 8pm
We're only seven points out of 4th.
Building a team to get top four every year, is better than occasionally getting lucky in the cups.
I watched us do that in the 80's, no thanks.
One unlucky semi and your season is over.
