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.

Blooter it
As members of Scottish labour they are all anti separation.
The things you learn on CQN……
It now makes sense .
Couldn’t understand why Dortmund fans were launching all sorts at us in 87′.
Probably consumed to much bevy to realise they were squaddies.
Dortmund fans now back in the good books.

Big George’s Fan Club, Neil Findlay is running a campaign to have unjust convictions of striking miners looked at again.
That alone is makes him more appealing than the rest.
Agree.A great cause.Just please dont let it be a stunt.
Blooter It.,
Nothing to do with what party you vote for.The man is a “Cereal”politician.Would wear a Sash if it helped him to power.
This is funny!!

I was at the game with my son’s mate on Saturday. He has not missed a Celtic game anywhere home or away for 3 years except Karagandy. He is a 21 year old kid who loves the attention and warm welcome he receives abroad in the hoops. He booked up for Croatia on Friday. Hope the Croats like his Hoops.
Another annoying habit of Murphy’s – he wins elections.

Ibrox investment is small change for Ashley
Mike Ashley likes a punt. He’s been known to win and lose over a £1 million pounds a throw on the roulette wheels of some of London’s swankiest casinos, and of course he has a passing interest in football as well. So far his interest in Rangers extends to £3 million in interest-free, albeit secured, loans.
Why headline your article by talking about MAs investment,then once into the story,tell the readers,the “Investment”is actually repayable loans with securities?.
Loans are not investments.Got it.Good.

It’s too his shame he never helped draft or vote for the OBB, but some day he may see the light and join the Radical Independence camp, the one where we get to keep Her Majesty and let the Bank of England set our interest rates.
And yes, he was definitely guilty of being a member of the party that got us into the Iraq war, but not guilty of being a member of a party whose leader was quite happy to sit smugly back whilst the Bosnian Muslims were subjected to mass rape, torture and genocide.
I find Murphy easy on the ear btw!! But he wont drive me back to vote Labour!!

So did,Tony Blair,George Bush,Ed Miliband,David Cameron,Nigel Farage.
You do see where I am coming from here?.
Guys, keep the politics off the board, I hate Nationalists with a passion like Salmon, McKaskill and Greame (poor spelling is a talent) but never think to mention it on ma football site of choice.
Blooter It!,
No more debate with you.You want to bring the Indy vote into it.
Old news .
But you keep on.
I see the Nats are demonising murphy in their ongoing campaign.
Next they will criticising him for the Clutha……oh wait….
Bawsman,
Too late for that twat Mc Askill.He has had his @rse booted out.

Oh FFS.They are like buses.All at the one time.
He was also guilty of letting out his London home whilst claiming to rent in the city.
I was at cpag conference in Glasgow when he was SOS for Scotland.
You say is a good catholic. Me I just try to be one.
I don’t get a member vote as I am not a member of the party but I did vote via unite for neil Findlay.
Does anyone know offhand who took over Roseanna Cunningham’s role as Minister for Community Safety and Legal Affairs?
Turkeybhoy, Neil Findlay has been involved in miners campaign for over a year now so I hope its not, as you said, a stunt.
Delaney’s, fair play to the bhoy. I hope he keeps his belief in us. I’m not sure if I would want to go to Croatia to see us. From what I gather its a beautiful country with welcoming hosts but from what I have saw of some ‘football fans’ there, I wouldn’t be going.
The Hadjuk Split fans used to have a banner saying Prso you traitorous b****** and I was told there was a bar in Croatia which had a door mat with Prso’s image on it.
NegAnon2,
For someone who keeps telling others,”You lost,get over it”you fairly rabbit on a bit yourself about it.In fact everyarticle,you bring it up.
Its old news,take your own advice and get over it.
Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas,
Good to hear.He would get my vote.I have liked him when I have heard him.
No more on the debate from me.
Celtic…
Bawsman, Shug was a top man.
Shared a few car trips back up the road with him, the driver is now chairman of the Killie fans trust and Shug kept us going on the journey.
I can still picture him and slagging himself about the size of his nose. A great loss for his family and friends. I bump into his cousin, Gerry, at games.
Turkey Pjbhoy I have never said you lost get on with it. What I find disturbing is the wilfull disregard many have for a democratic vote.
On murphy he is being smeared as he had the temerity to campaign for a no vote.
Is this the rise of facist scotland???
Feels like it.
HT,
Michael Matheson.
Oh and Turkeybhoy what you are actually saying is shut up I don’t want to hear anyone disagreeing with me.

Didn’t know that, and adds to my initial impression.
Still curse (futile I know) at every Yuill & Dodds truck I see – they must be huns – and went on a rant a couple of weeks ago when an Airdrie (or is it Clydebank) fan I was speaking to brought up that scab, John Martin’s name.
Bawsman. – not big on the politics on the blog either, just commenting on a few minutes of discussion that caught my attention – sorry!!!!

He earns a good wage and lives with his lovely

OK,I will bite for the last time.
You rant on about democracy.It is my democratic right to call Jim Murphy a creep.
You ,on the other hand,railing me about my freedom of expression,are the one acting like a Fascist.
Got it.Again,nae offence.
