Jonas definitely has to start, so does Topal. Pablo H. i think should start too.

ALVES

WHATEVER - RAMI - RUIZ - ALBA/MATHIEU

TOPAL - TINO COSTA

PABLO H. - JONAS - FCUK KNOWS

SOLDADO

We really need Chelsea to beat Leverkusen, if Leverkusen get even a draw. Then if they beat Genk on MD6, even a draw for us at Stamford Bridge sees us knocked out.

btw, we are currently on 99 CL points...so if we get a draw or more...we break the 100 points barrier in Champions League history, good achievement. :proud:

Considering how poor Chelsea are playing right now, I highly doubt they will get a victory at Leverkusen.

But the positive is, that when we face them at Stamford Bridge, we should aim for victory.

Either way, this is about Genk, and I expect nothing less than a comfortable win, really. Home crowd and all, it SHOULD be comfortable.

hmm.. chelsea will beat leverkusen.. hell i think they will **** them.. and then come to our game relaxed.. and we can also beat them! but guys.. whts first is first.. lets fvck genk!!

Don't you guys think that Guaita should start this game, since Alves started against Mierda?

Regardless of anything we need to take care of this fixture, we are in this potential fcuk up because we didnt put these away in Belgium so its time to focus and get the three points.

Chelsea I feel will beat Leverkusen, in fact I think Chelsea will start to concentrate their efforts heavily towards progression in this tournament for the simple reasons they are now 12 points behind Manchester City in the EPL and its also the trophy that RA craves more than anything, I expect a Chelsea reaction after defeat at home to the bin dippers yesterday!

Chelsea suck this year.. if we play against them like we played madrid we can fvck them in Stamford

What formation do you think we will utilise against Genk? I dont like 4-3-3 at all and we suck at playing that way so that for me is a non starter!

4-2-3-1 is one of my fave formations but I think there is a case for us to go 4-4-2 and be more expansive, playing Jonas up top with Bobby.

What are your thoughts on 4-4-2 in general, can we play it and more importantly would it be effective?

Straight 4-4-2 please, no need to be messin' around, lets just go at 'em:

Alves

Miguel - Rami - Ruiz - Mathieu

Topal - Costa

Pablo -----------------------Alba

Aduriz - Soldado​

Wouldn't mind either of Albelda or Parejo starting either. But only one of Tino or Parejo should start, no 4-3-3 please. I doubt he'll go with three midfielders anyway, at the very most if not a 4-4-2, it'll probably be a 4-2-3-1 with Jonas in the hole, which I think is the most likely formation, even though I prefer two up top.

We need to score goals early and we need to have atleast a two goal cushion by the 75th minute, otherwise if only have a 1 goal lead, we risk drawing and hence definite elimination.

The match is in danger of being suspended because of terrential rain over the last week in the Valencia area :rollani:u

:D

I know right, I have a knack for stating the obvious :howler:

The only thing I need to be "managing" now, is how to put you on my ignore list :groan: :D

Anyway, it's confirmed this bitch gonna be played tonight :yess: despite it being wetter out there than HoC's panties :thumbsup:

Think Emery will go with a 4-2-3-1 with Jonas just behind Soldado, I expect goals and if we get an early goal to settle us there could be a few more to follow.

First and foremost we need to be responsible at the back and they should pick themselves. Would go with Topal and Tino in the middle with Pablo H and Feghouli out wide.

AMUNT VALENCIA!! i have a huge test tomorrow that i just cant think about cuz of the game!!
 
#26 ·
I suspect Aduriz to start with this weather. I think the Londoners will do us a favour, AvB is under immense pressure, a loss there, ufffff, trouble. Let's hope we can do the business against these cunts.
 
#27 ·
we are not gonna qualify.. and its not because we have lost to leverkusen cuz thts aaight .. its in germany.. but cuz of the two points we lost in the first fixture.. i hate genk unless they stop leverkusen
 
#28 ·
Seriously, Leverkusen have shown nothing in this group, we deserved a point, at least, in Germany, but we are choke artists, that's nothing new, we can't win "easy" especially in Europe. Leverkusen @ Belgium, is no sure 3 points. Even Chelsea couldn't even get maximum points. Let's see after this Matchday, we'll get a clearer picture.
 
#29 ·
if we win this and they lose.. we need only a point in london.. a point in london will keep chelsea upfront and us behind them.... who has roman abrohimovich phone #? :p

Dammit our SkySports stopped today! No watching this for me then probably...

Anyhow I expect 4-4-2 tonight with Aduriz, Pablo and Topal all in. Well I did, then I remembered we have Unai as manager...

¡Amunt Valencia!
