Match Thread (Europa League) Nk Rijeka V Aberdeen (0 - 3)

[KingswellsRed]

We won't be getting anything from this game with Willo Flood in the middle of the park. We need a team capable of playing counter attacking football and Flood will get in the way as usual. He will play though. The talk everywhere inside Pittodrie yesterday was about Flood so it seems only Mcinnes that can't see the middle of the park is 't working.

do you play for AFC..?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Can't help feeling (based on one match that I wasn't even at obviously) that we're lining up the same mistake with jack and flood that we did with McGinn and Goodwillie last year. 4 decent players (at their own game) trying to play in two positions. All the more frustrating in that we saw last year that the flood jack combo didn't work. Maybe flood should go on a monster sesh and skelp a bouncer, see if that helps?

 

More than pleased that Maclean sounds like he's finding his feet btw.

This mob are no great shakes.

Is the correct answer.

 

Groningen far better.

 

Think we'll win both matches. 2-1 both games.

[RUL]

I don't know much about the standard over there but I think they are probably in line with Groningen, it's not quite mission impossible and might suit us better playing a team that will play a similar style to our own.

Fri 10/07/15 1.H Inter Zaprešić 0 - 0 Rijeka

 

So trying to translate that it seems they are worried about going into Europe off the back of that performance. 6-0 the dons.

A bit like the huns...

[Dave Bus]

Same lineup as Thursday night except from flood out for Quinn. Think shinnie should start in midfield as he can add a bit more creativity while at the same tame adding a better defensive edge than flood. Think considine will go into left back because when shinnie and Logan were getting up at full back, we were getting left very open and exposed to the counter attack so I think considine will be told to sit back more

You are almost as boring as Kingswells itself.

Was that not because the ticket office and shop were under about 3 feet of water the other day

 

We will win this 1-0

 

They are pish and fluked a draw with seville last season and beat feyenord Who gives a fuck they've not met Smash Taylor, Adam the ginger genius Rooney and Graeme Jesus Shinnie

[E-P-K]

In the last 2 years, they have played 36 times at home, lost once to Dinamo Zagreb.

How many clean sheets have they kept?

How many games have been drawn?

Of those 36 games, how many were against the Orphan Select or the Dog and Duck equivalent?

 

Let's remember Scotland can beat Croatia. We'll dick this lot over two legs.

I was wrong, it was 1 competitive loss at home in the last 56 home game over 2 years. 26 clean sheets, with 14 draws.

[Poodler]

Did chelSea nae have a record like that and got done by Bradford?

[super_al]

For all of the talk about how many games they have lost at home my question is how good is the Croatian league?

[newcastlered]

If they're so good at home but never win the league or cups they must be dreadful away from home.

[spamspamspam]

going by a post one of their visitors to this site put up they've won 2 of the 4 cups over the last 2 years as well.

 

Might've picked it up wrong though

 

They seem a pretty decent outfit.

 

I'd rather lose gracefully to them over 2 legs and have a good start to the league, give us some momentum and make Celtic think early than have the start we had last season after doing relatively well in Europe.

 

Europe can wait until the Champions League

[ChutneyLove]

Anyone know of a pub in Rijeka showing the game?

[muttonhumper]

In/Oot - In

Indeed.

Was also blootered when I made that post this morning.

 

Having sobered up (though now on the wine), I will recalculate.

 

3-0 them

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Pretty sure we'll smash them 4-1 away and then lose 3-0 at home

[dave_min]

I'll take it.

[Tord31]

I think we'll miss Reynolds big style in this match.

 

Ive a sneeky feeling we might go for an odd formation.

 

Ward

 

Logan Taylor Quinn Considine Hayes

 

Flood Jack Shinnie

 

McGinn

 

Rooney

 

subs: Brown, McLean, Goodwillie, Robson, Pawlett, Smith, Shankland

prediction: 2-0 defeat

[ChutneyLove]

Fuck the Croatian cunts right in the hairy twat. 2-0 The Dandy Dons. Rooney and an own-goal fae their shitey 'keeper.

[muttonhumper]

Nae sure fit you can get for 2-0, but I see maist bookies have us between 6/1 and 8/1 just to win.

 

That's like longer odds than we've been getting at Celtic oif late.
