The only game that comes close to Leipzig for me is winning the league in 99, I was referring to the Scottish Cup final (Wallace, 1-0).

Oh and by the way, the club is an omnishambolic mess 😄 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if there's a crackling atmosphere, and fans roaring him on, then there may be an extra motivation, compared to playing in a flat atmosphere. Maybe you are right, footballers are in no way motivated by money. However the evidence I have seen over the years suggests otherwise. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, to an extent. However, our results against the scum somewhat invalidate it. Edited October 30 by Gonzo79 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Lyon I think we started the game with more intensity, fight, urgency than we showed at any point V Killie or St Mirren. Even how we came back after they scored an early goal. Not sure a low block can affect how our players approach games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon weren't that great, IMO, they just had better quality to take advantage. (xG on the night was 2.06 to their 2.24.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
