How does everybody think well do in this one. I was happy with result the other day against Georgia. I think another 3points should be on the cards here. Come on you boys in green
Yeah, hopefully, at least they now look like a team. Every player seems to know what his role in the team is. That was missing in the last couple of years.
Yes thats it, ad hopefully we'd gaine some momentum and get some belief going within the squad. If us and Italy win our next games we could be 5points ahead of everyone already.. That would be great
Don't run away with yourselfs,Montenegro are a very good side for a pot 4 team.They were only in pot 4 as they are a new nation and have only played 15 odd games. We should still win but it will not be a walk in the park.
I hope we beat them, even if only to keep certain tv experts quiet, bunch of heathens. Got to love Souness, Giles etc criticising managerial decisions, the irony of it all. Will be a tough match though, any points we get out of the game will be hard earned, Bulgaria didnt have it easy there on Saturday.
This game will not be easy, and hopefully Keane can kick start his season and start scoring goals!!! They have a good chance to get 3 points.
I found it funny that Souness mentioned every five mins about Stephen Reid 'I signed the boy for Blackburn'. He did not mention that fact he also signed that donkey of a CB Kivalasvilia or whatever for Blackburn also. He was one of the worst georgian players.
Montenegro were a 6th seed, due to them been new. As I joked on another site, when was the last time we were terrified of facing the 6th seeds?? We have the hardest group of the lot. If we can win this one, we have the potential to win our first 5 games, and relax when Bulgaria and Italy take points off each other next month.
Think this will be a tough game, but hope the lads can get a bit of confidence from the Georgian game and get the right result, here's hoping anyway...
You are right I was thinking of the champions league draw were the pot for teams are the worst. I think we got the one of the hardest teams in pot 6,5 and 4.Although Bulgaria are a good side they were one of the weakest if not he weakest team in pot 2,the pot 1 team was always going to be a through team. So they way I see it this is a mixed draw could have been a lot worse,if we beat them teams who are seeded behind us we will have a very good chance of at least a play off.But thats a big if.
If we have any chance of qualifying from this group we have to win against these teams. They,ve done us a real favour by taking points off Bulgaria, but only if we win.
agree that this wont be easy by any means,bulgaria scored very late to snatch a draw. a win would be fantastic for us.
A win would be fantastic because you know they will take points off other teams as they did on Saturday, i also think Gerogia may take points off other teams when they actually play in Georgia and not Germany. Tonights game is followed by 3 home games which in all fairness we should win our home games against Cyprus, Gerogia and Bulgaria. Bulgaria will be tough, but if we can win all of these i think we have a great chance of winning the group, (getting a bit ahead of myself there)...but why not. Confidence seems to be back in the team. Only worry would be injuries to the team, if any of the back 4 are injured i think we are in trouble, not much to come in to replace Finann, Dunne, O shea or Kilbane so that would worry me. Fingers crossed though, good luck tonight lads.
