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.

Floodlight failure Sporting Lisbon v Maribor

Meant to say. Once the game is finished the match stays on the link for at least a few days so feasibly you could watch it at least 24 hours after the match. Never done it myself but will check it Friday after the Red Bull game.

It’s hard enough to breath on Android, and they don’t have tells yet…..I’ll get my coat
Bada,
Agree mate. The Partick hat-trick showed he is a bums on seats guy for us.
Sadly I disagree though, in that Sevco will be a bigger ticket seller than jg.

That is good enough for me. I usually watched a few hours later.

Sadly not. Although I am in Section 202, it is just next to the posh seats! Will be delighted to say hello though – I am in Row KK Seats 1 & 2 along with Hrvatski Jim on this occasion. I am just a wee schemey bhoy fae Busby (originally). Maybe see you on Thursday at CP, unless you are in the BV in the afternoon? Your description sounds ominous, so possibly not!

Bayern a joy to watch.
Are Man City at home? Sounds like a morgue apart from the Bayern fans…

Neil Lennon doing pundit on Irish tv3, must be on a night off from Bolton. Multi million pound Man City struggling against Munich’s ten men. Lovin it.

Celtic have the full Roseburn stand. 3k according to Jambos. They still have 5k tickets to sell. If you feel you must sit among them main stand is best bet but even then I wouldn’t recommend it.
