Albania TA Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I dont share this confidence for the 2nd leg Im afraid folks The voice of reason. They have the lead. So tonight they are the better team, no question. Using tonight as a basis, where exactly is Motherwell's inspiration arriving from for next week's game.??

labi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Why would you sell 9 of your players? were they in the starting 11? Is the team owned by the city? how many new signings have you had so far? with 9 players being sold, i don't think you should be worrying about the European competitions but the national league and cup. the season is long, and injuries from all these games right now and fatigue will show up in the middle of the season? When do you start your season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC_MKI Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Our domestic season starts on 15th August, so we've got a bit of time yet to strengthen our squad. While it's enjoyable to be playing in Europe, I think most of us would put our domestic fortunes ahead of our European ones, as we all know that we aren't going to go far in the Europa League and the most important thing for clubs like us is being able to fend of relegation and hold our own in the domestic league.

Albania TA Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 We think we'll win the game because we have a better team than you. So what happened tonight then? What an arrogant statement. As things stand, you've a chase on to make that one come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wingers are key I think An early goal and I think we can do it though, just not overly confident of scoring 1 nevermind 2 goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labi Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Using tonight as a basis, where exactly is Motherwell's inspiration arriving from for next week's game.?? All I can say is that Flamurtari's players will still be under a lot of pressure, but they're very excited about winning the next match. So if the scots have no desire or initiative, they'll find out that Vlora's team is not Llanelli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using tonight as a basis, where exactly is Motherwell's inspiration arriving from for next week's game.?? Well for me we were seriously concerned about what the effects of the temperature would have on our team. Added to that we had the unknown quantity element of Flamurtari made more concerning by the rather cocky, boastful nature of some of their fans. Reading back of the some of the stuff pre-match we were entering a 10,000 full cauldron of screaming fans, in temperatures over 100 degrees against a crack team of youths with pace to burn, who would tear us to shreds. The reality for me was that for the bulk of the game we dominated possession, controlled play and only in the last 10-15 minutes did we look in danger when our team began to wilt. Next week, Flamurtari will be the side with the travelling to do - will they charter or take a similar route to us - I expect it'll be the former. There won't be the heat to contend with affording them less of an advantage. We'll have two new players with an extra weeks training to add to the manager's choice and as a group we'll have a further few days to allow the manager's methods and ideas to be instilled. I don't see that it will be a pushover, far from it, and the tie is very delicately balanced in terms of the away goal, but I take confidence in that Flamurtari weren't just as good as their fans lead us to believe and that a Motherwell side with a few thousand behind them next weekend with more of an attacking element about will have enough to see us through.

And hope that the team gets some extra money to support incentives/extras for important games. Same thing on the other side. Except that the guys are too young to understand that and they play their hearts out every game, so most of the time they injure themselves early in the season and then struggle as a team. Do you know of any premiums offered to Motherwell players. I think the Flamurtari's players were offered something like 50K, not sure if in Euros or Dollars. but that's a lot of money for the players this early in the season.

The same the world over. 2 new signing so far, but hopefully another 6 - 7 to come. our new manager seems to know what he is looking for and we have money to spend.

I don't really remember anyone genuinely comparing you to a pub-team. Some admittedly said as much before Llanelli but to be honest nobody really knew anything about you which was why, in addition to the heat there was so much uncertainty from our end as to how the game would go.

European football is nice, but the really important stuff starts in a few weeks time. Flamurtari has been doing that for the last 6 or 7 years. it was really hard to keep the goalkeeper and a few other players this year cuz they were all looking to go to other countries, more money, better leagues, more experience and a better chance of picking up the national team.

A bit of banter between fans is belting, but his patter is absolutely chronic. I still get amazed at your confidence. you're not going to play against sitting planks dude. there isn't going to be a 3-0 win. Look at it this way. Pressure from your side the first 15 to 20 minutes. but you'll be open. then if you don't get one you'll be frustrated cuz the other team will suck so bad they can't get past the midfield, so off you go 10 players on our midfield. Well dude that's when shit starts happening. you'll either score or get scored on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Back on thread we can do it if we set our minds and hearts to it, and if the headhunters among our fans can keep it down when things are not so good.

We lost the first leg in the first round too. The difference is the last round cost us an away goal. Once again, our keeper except for the goal didn't have much to do, and as you said we missed a decent amount of chances, something I doubt we'll do next time.

star sail Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I am not overly confident but then I was not confident last week either and it worked out well. We had more posession in the game yet I thought that they looked more dangerous going forward. I think we are going to have to score 3 because I think that we will loose one (when any team gets a corner at the moment I can't even look) and I can't see where 3 goals are going to come from. I also felt that their goalkeeper looked very comfortable where ours did not. One thing I don't understand is how can people post 'this lot are shit' when they just beat us 1-0? Obviously I would love to be proved wrong but I think we will go out on away goals.I will however be right behind the team next Thu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
