The problem is, even if we do, Rennes are more than capable of knocking 4 or 5 past us. I think a lot will depend on which Rennes side turn up. I can't see us put out a performance that suffocates them. I fear that we will sit back and absorb pressure only for them to get 2 goals and us then panic and get battered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 Think the point about the first 20 mins being cruical is spot on. However this is a team that was 2-1 up with 25 seconds left and lost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teblin Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 I think we will score, Harvey has the beating of their captain. I think it’ll be 1-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 (edited) Just got to draw or beat them, if we don't go through....think it will have a negative effect on on remaining games in the EPL, can imagine players will be thinking of their future's. It's going to be a Make or Break for mentality of our players Edited 14 March 2022 by CrispinLA in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way we should enjoy as it’s not the type of competition we can guarantee every year. 👍🏻🦊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scanchez Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 Lose this 2-1 and go through, I reckon. Need Barnes to be at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get dumped out then sack BR now and start the rebuild for next season as this one will be finished. Personally I believe Top has faith in Rodgers and will let him "overhaul" in the summer.

It's not quite so terrifying now that Congerton has gone. I think the club might have told BR he won't have so much of a say in transfers after the Bertrand and Vestergaard signings.

K1FOX Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 We nearly always score. Attacking hasn’t been an issue. Which means we’d need to concede 4 to lose. Firm favourites if you ask me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firm favourites if you ask me When you consider it like thst it seems we are very much in the ascendancy but I think it all depends on the 1st goal. If they get it relatively early on then I'm not so sure we'll be a shoe in to cause them many problems going forward, I think we could crumble. I really hope he has them fired up and focused for Thursday. Any cautious uncertainty and confusion over how he wants us to try and navigate this game cannot be allowed. We aren't good at nervy football like that, we've got to play to our strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 (edited) The concensus is that Rennes will come at us really hard at the start. Not meaning to be a bed wetter but, merely pointing out facts, in 9 of our last 11 away games we've conceded a goal in the first 34 minutes. Within that number we've conceded in the first 15 minutes in 5 games and in the first 26 minutes in 8 games. And one of the only 2 games where we didn't concede early was at Randers, who missed a hatful of chances any decent team would have buried. Makes you realise how grim we've been defensively this season. Edited 14 March 2022 by Sunbury Fox 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfc82 Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 We need to be quick out of the blocks in this one. Can’t afford to make one of usual slow starts or Rennes will be level inside 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 I reckon we see a classic Rodgers overthinking line up. After some decent performances and an almost settled side in the 4 3 3/ 4 2 3 1 I have a feeling he'll change to a back 3/5 in order to try and make us "hard to beat" Players who were getting comfortable and developing partnerships all of a sudden have to deal with a new position and new partnerships. Rennes 2 or 3 up at the break and Rodgers then reverts back to a 4 at half time. If we go out Rodgers can blame the players for coming out of the traps too slowly, despite clearly setting them up with a "hold on" mentality from the start. In all seriousness I'd see it as a massive positive if Rodgers navigates this tie and we go through. First time we've had something to lose in a while - will he revert to type of wetting the bed when the pressure cranks up or will we see a brave performance. We're clearly prioritising this tournament now, so it's all or nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to be on high alert for their movement outside our box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winteriscoming Posted 14 March 2022 Share Posted 14 March 2022 The funniest thing is 2 months ago Rodgers didn’t even know/have any interest about this European competition. Now he’s relying on it instead of league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
