It's all about the first 20-30 minutes IMO. Need to come out all guns blazing!
My thoughts exactly. We don't do too well standing off, I'm still confused by what happened in the first leg tactically.
I thought that against Malmo aswell
Yeah i cant shake the feeling of it being 2-1 and a gallant failure - hopefully I am wide of the mark and its a convincing win.
Feeling confident about tonight too

Feels like Malmo last year. Need to score early and keep the crowd inside, otherwise it could be a frustrating night.

To be fair, we have played a lot of European football since Malmo.
If we let nerves play a part, we will go out.

You can cover a shite in glitter but it’s still a shite!
Surprisingly positive.
Aye you'd think so at first glance but that just gives them more leverage to shit stir if things don't work out. They're desperate for us to fail.

Early goal and USG crumble, Half time 0-0 and we just go into ourselves and the crowd gets on the back of the players
Its up to the players to come out first 25 mins all guns blazing.

We tried to do what worked so well for us last year and keep it tight in the first leg, try for a draw/narrow defeat, and blast them to bits at Ibrox.
Except we weren't clicking in the way we were during that run, too many new faces, and it fell flat.
Let's just hope we can still do the 2nd part of the plan and claw our way back in tonight.

A shower of funds talking shite. Just like the scotshit parliament.Surprisingly positive.
Rangers will turn up.
They know how this means to us.

Gio shat,let's be honest. And by the time he tried to change things it was too late.
Wow.
Never expected that from those from the rebel

Other than relying on the atmosphere or memories of last seasons performances, I have seen nothing from us so far this season to suggest a barnstorming performance that takes us through.
Thats the head talking.
heart says we score in first 5 mins and go on to pump them by 3 goals

Exactly where I’m at too.
Pretty much accepted at FT last week we’d messed up another opportunity to qualify for the CL so anything other than us going out will be a pleasant surprise tonight.
I think this might be the case, however unpalatable. We do so much better when on the front foot. The battle fever is building. WATP.

I think most football savvy people saw the game last week and realised it wasn't a true reflection of us and that Union weren't great…
If we put in a Leipzig / Braga effort tonight then we’ll blow them away and quite rightly I’d expect nothing less.
To go out tonight would be unthinkable.

We have, but in truth I take more parrarells from that tie than any of our Europa league ones.
Navigating champions league qualifiers so early in the season just isn’t something we or that mob have had much success with.
If we have a tremendous night we might just do this but the whole “early goal and we’ll be fine” mentality is a touch optimistic I think.

Would take any of those scenarios tbh
Play like we can and we are through.

Yeah basically making out like itll be easy so its more of a failure if we get put out
I don't see it that way. We have 90 minutes to get 2 goals and another 30 for the 3rd. We were 0-0 on Saturday and scored 2 in the second half. It would be nice to get early goals, but we must not go gung ho and leave ourselves open to the counter.

It’s the most realistic outcome after last week.
To go out in this tie prior to last week would have been disappointing at best.
To go through in the tie after last week would be an incredible and historic turnaround.

I don’t think Union are as average as many believe. They are being too easily dismissed.
Penalties won’t be a surprise.

We would probably be that mob’s biggest scalp, fair to say that?

Hope I'm wrong but sadly I have to agree.

Why shouldn't we and others be confident. It's Union Saint-Gilloise not Real Madrid.

Probably mate but we’ve never ever overturned a 2 goal deficit in Europe. Hope it changes tonight but I can’t see it. Overturning 2 goal deficits in Europe isn’t easy.
