I’m just glad Neil Warnock doesn’t manage in Belgium.Completely missed that but Kevin Muscat is coach at Sint Truiden, the team that beat them this weekend.

We should be pushing for 1st place in groupBenfica will batter them both to be honest so I honestly think that if we win our 2 home games against Poznan and Standard that will be enough to get 2nd.
The post I replied to got me curious.Did you really go to the effort to type that out
Strongly disagree that Benfica are better than Leverkusen tbh. We might not win against Benfica but we’ll give it a go. We couldn’t even do that against LeverkusenYes we did but not without a bit of luck on our side, Porto had two cleared off the line by Davis and Goldson and the wonder save from McGregor before we scored.
Braga were 4th or 5th in the league and taught us a lesson in the first half at Ibrox where we could easily have been 4-0 down and if anyone is honest,most of us watching through our fingers that night in the first half,again we carried a bit of luck with the winning goal.
Out of both Porto and Braga, I thought Braga were the far better team and they weren't champions of Portugal and they had some great players. Sometimes in games you carry a bit of luck and take the win,that's just the way football works, I think a lot of people are getting a bit carried away to the extent last week a poster on here saying we could compete with any of the top teams in Europe,and plenty just writing off this Polish team before we've even played them,feet need to be firmly planted on the ground,let's not get carried away.
I've watched Benfica twice now and think they are better than both Porto,Braga and Leverkusen and play better football, I think this out of all the good teams we've played, will be the toughest test and will either show how how far we have come or how far we still have to go before even thinking about the champions league.
True BUT I'm not sure a record against Portuguese teams means that much. The only common point is nationality.We should be pushing for 1st place in group
Benfica are a good side but we have a great record against Portuguese teams
Nothing like getting ahead of ourselves, is there?If both us and Benfica win then in its likely that come match day 5 then all we need is to beat Liege at home and we will be through. If its 6-6-0-0 after Thursday night the Benfica games are effectively a free hit for us*
*Assuming Poznan don't win both games v Liege
If they're better than Leverkussen we're in bother.Yes we did but not without a bit of luck on our side, Porto had two cleared off the line by Davis and Goldson and the wonder save from McGregor before we scored.

The Germans were a class or two above us without getting out of first gear.
