Uilleam 5,948 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It could have been better/worse. Leverkusen will be tough, but I expect them to play football and attack Rangers, which, I think, suits us more than the default 8-1-1 formation we face in the SPL. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,627 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It's one of the hardest draws we could have got, and one of the least exciting. However it's a great achievement getting to where we are now, and have arguably had some good luck in previous draws so I guess we can't complain too much. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer to play a German than a Spanish side tbh. I am glad we avoided Turks-Greeks and Spanish, but that's not to say this is not one of the hardest draws. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a Spanish side would have been more attractive, and our tactics would have worked better against them but I guess it's all subjective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I am presuming BL will play an attacking game? I have not seen them so I guess I am not in a great position to comment. I am thinking historically we have decent results v German sides and not so good v Spanish? As you say though it is a bit like pulling the fat bird up the dancing? She is good looking but the least attractive and you know she will be hard work....... Edited February 28, 2020 by cooponthewing 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in terms of the history and tradition, but in terms of quality I think I think it is exciting. They look a step up in quality from anyone we've played in the last decade. Jonathan Tah starts for Germany at centre back and will be the best centre back Morelos has ever played against. Kai Havertz is possibly Germany's brightest talent and has been linked with £100m moves. He is probably the best attacking talent we will have come up against in the same time period. Nadiem Amiri is another German international who is an attacking midfielder and they have a few other very highly rated players. It is always interesting to see how we fare when tested by higher quality sides. Edited February 28, 2020 by DMAA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look back and our record against German sides was better than I thought it was. I've just been conditioned by some of our games in the 90s where we came across some physical German sides and being bullied. I remember we played against Dortmund and thinking how great it would be to get some of their players. I was excited when it was announced that we were signing one and we ended up with Nerlinger! 4 minutes ago, cooponthewing said: As you say though it is a bit like pulling the fat bird up the dancing?
