Match Threads FK Crvena Zvezda vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Kingellesar]

Win tonight and it would take an almighty spursing to not qualify. I couldn't see red star or olympiakos getting the 6 points required to overtake us.

Should be enough of an incentive

Should being the key word here. Going to be a tough atmosphere to play in but I think we can frustrate them early on and then pick them off.

A win basically sees us through as long as Bayern beat Olympiacos, as we’d go 4 ahead of them and 6 ahead of the Greeks. Even if we lost both remaining games, Belgrade would have to win both as 4 points would leave them level at best with us and losing out on the head to head. Then just a draw at home to Olympiacos would do it, while Belgrade are away to Munich next.

Sounds far too easy, so it won't happpen like that. We don't do things that way.

We can get away with the reverse too, draw tonight, win vs Olympiacos. Most important thing tonight is to not lose but would love to be in the drivers seat with those 2 games left.

5-0 up 5 minutes remaining. Lose 6-5. 90’s spurs! Hoooooooooo!

Just can't see us winning this. I don't think Red Star are better than us but playing away there is going to require a solid performance and mental strength to cope with the atmosphere, both in terms of it being intimidating genrally, and the almost certainty that there'll be some racist carry on. Given how mentally weak our team has been all season, and how half-arsed some of the players seem to be, I just don't see us winning this one.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Hate to be negative but with the way we are playing away from home I can only see us losing this, maybe a draw at best.

 

[JCRD]

Id take a draw and finish the job off against Olympiakos - then again we couldnt finish a meal at the moment

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Shit, is it today?!
Here I was trying to forget the whole thing before it even happens. Now what do I do.

 

[Spurus]

I wonder if they have a walk off plan if the racist nonsense starts up?

If it happens they should walk off, they shouldn't have to play on with that kind of abuse.

I think their 'fans' are likely to start some racist crap tonight. I'm sure UEFA will only give them a slap on the wrist as they usually do.

Aurier would be a ticking time bomb in that kind of environment, Poch maybe doesn’t trust him to keep his cool hence why he hasn’t travelled

It’s a shame that if it is correct, I disagree. We should never ever think of leaving players behind because of fear of racist abuse from opposition fans. That is what they want.

The England players had clearly thought before the Bulgaria game what they would do, be interesting to know if ours have also.

 

[hughy]

Think we'll draw tonight, and be hoping Bayern beat Red Tsar when we play Olympiakos

We wouldn't make it easy on ourselves and win tonight. Ohh no.

 

[muppetman]

For anyone who's actually out there

For anyone who's actually out there

So to get to this safe out of town location they need to travel into central Belgrade to get the bus?

 

[Blackrat1299]

If you need military presence at your home games, then you should be thrown out of the competition until the fans can behave.

Thats not military.....Thats neighbour hood watch!

 

[Kingellesar]

Pathetic that teams like this are allowed to compete on the biggest stage in world football.

Smaller teams like this should look forward to the bigger teams coming and seeing how they can compete but no, its more interesting to hurl racial abuse/cause trouble than watch the actual football.

Uefa needs a complete overhaul because I imagine if there is any trouble tonight, they will probably be fined for an amount less than what they get anyway.

I agree but surely we have to win away from home eventually. It can’t keep going on.

 

[kungfugrip]

Zero chance we’re walking out of this with a win. A few players might stay in the dressing room. Eriksen might be too scared to leave the hotel(although that would actually be the best thing to ever happen to us)

The entire squad should be made to watch this with the volume turned up. That way, when it happens for real tonight, it may not be quite as intimidating.

If there's one thing I'm sure of our team are the absolute best when it comes to being frustrating.

Mistake not to take him imo,I think he would have been a huge asset tonight.......in the away end with our fans...?
