Salzburg got back to winning ways on Sunday after losing 4-1 away to third-placed Rheindorf Altach immediately before the international break. The stats from that game are interesting. Salzburg enjoyed 60% possession but Rheindorf forced 66% more chances by playing on the break, scoring twice in the closing 10 minutes as Salzburg pushed for an equaliser.
A point on Thursday would be an acceptable result for Salzburg so they could be caught between trying to defend and playing their normal game. Either way it’s likely they will hold possession for long periods.
No team is completely dependent on one player but this truism is probably tested more by Salzburg and their talismanic striker, Jonathan Soriano, who has scored 26 times in 27 outings this season. Consider for a moment if we had such a prodigious striker………..
Salzburg coach Adolf Hutter must decide how far tp change his usual game plan. Salzburg’s entire strategy is to attack. They have scored 50 league goals already this season, twice as many as any other team, while their goals against record is within a handful of the majority of teams in the league.
My preference would be to tempt them out, have them fall between the two stools of playing their natural offensive game and the more cautious approach they may be tempted to play away in Europe. One note of caution, the Ajax team who beat Celtic comfortably in Amsterdam last season were shredded 0-3 by a counter-attacking Salzburg in the same venue a few months later.
Ajax failed to box clever, we can be smarter. Stop Soriano, closed-down space at the back and play on the counter.

If you are computer savvy the cheapest option is buying a NOW box for a tenner which is basically a Roku box and do the hack yourself – it’s not difficult

I have mine via virginmedia. The guy in my work builds them from the very basic box and loads all the apps and stuff. Really handy. I’m going to get another one after Christmas and cut my virginmedia package right down. Can’t get rid of it because my wife likes the TiVo box.

Whit a day! Two hour delay in Glasgow. Missed my connection to Bangkok. Transferred to Thai Airways from BA, six hour wait for my next flight.
Watching Chelski whilst sipping Champagne life’s no so bad!

Sounds like you are having the BA/Heathrow experience?
I am not a believer in conspiracy theories but my one exception is that BA and Heathrow have had a 35 year conspiracy against Hrvatski Jim
3 weeks ago I went to Toronto. BA flight was delayed 2 hours at Heathrow because “they had underestimated how long it would take to load the bags” . Obviously this is something that Heathrow has not had much experience of.
Thai will be fine.
Bada,
I think it’s as good a move for him as it is for us.
Euro footy post Xmas this season, champs league next season hopefully.
He fits in and works for us.
He probably can play at a higher level but why risk a drop from first team footy at his age for a few more quid?
It’s no Ryanair,that’s for sure…
Disadvantage of the android box. Turn aff Citeh game to watch PSG v Ajax and miss 2 goals!

City match
What team has 10 players?
full time and it’s @Everton 1-1 Celtic.
GM-he will be fed up getting punted on loan for the last 3 seasons.Agree ,would do everyone good.PL needs a ST seller and a reason to put STs back up,as he will be aware guys won’t renew if it is for Sevco games.
Good result for the U21s. Noticed Everton had Aruna Kone playing as overage player.
Just been looking at the first-half stats for Apoel Nicosia v Barcelona.
Shots:
Apolel 1 Barca 16
Possession:
Barca 80%
