I'm quite certain they'll win tonight. Sorry to ruin the fun. If there's anything I've learned from their travails in Europe, is when they're a defeat away from being knocked out, they win.

If it keeps the heat off Rodgers for a while longer, I guess that won't be a completely horrendous idea. Still.....

Yes, the preferred situation is when a win can send them through providing another team don't win a game they're expected to lose. And then that other team go and win. Love that. Even better if that other team beats an already-qualified side, who were just going through the motions. Proper fume. Can't beat the RS in full fume effect.
 
I understand all that. Again, I'm just referring to them getting knocked right out of Europe.
I believe I have answered that. It is not certain to happen tonight UNLESS they lose (1-0 or by 2 or more goals) and Basel get a result. Then they will definitely finish bottom.

If Basel lose tonight they are still in with a chance of 2nd or 3rd even with a loss - let's imagine they lose 2-0 tonight and Basel also lose.

Basel 3 6-1 6
Ludo 4 4-6 6
RS 3 3-6 3

Under those circumstances they finish 2nd with a 4 goal win against Basel, 3rd with a 2 or 3 goal win and bottom with any other lesser result.

Id much rather they finished 3rd and dropped into the Europa league, Rodgers has proved he can't cope with 3 games in a week and neither can players like Sturridge and Gerrard. Without European football they'll have a better chance of finishing above us in the league again like last year.
 
I want them to finish second in the group. It's their most likely route out of europe. It gets them a group winner in the next round, stops them entering the Europa and keeps old Brenny in a job longer

Much as it pains me, I tend to agree. Their delusion would balloon as well. Just pray they get a tough opponent though. And that Brenda isnt given a wad of cash in January and actually spends it well. Law of averages say it will happen at some point.

Thought about his,
I dunno, they progress and they have a chance at better signings in the window, they would pick up momentum and make money, on the other hand Brendan keeps his job and they stay out of the EL. tough one.

I don't think he's got it in him. They came second, looked amazing and could sign a decent striker. Gerrard won't let himself be replaced so he's royally boned.

I agree and even if it helps Rodgers cheat the hangman for now, I still cant see the crafty Yanks giving him a load of improvement money for the January sales when hes said himself in the press that hes not looking at buying anyone.

Way too dangerous that scenario. don't forget who we're talking about here.

Their star man Penalty could come into form and see them spawn their way through to the latter stages, where they come across a side who mash them for 45 minutes then get the cigars out at HT............

No. We need to see them dumped out, the sooner the better, tonight would be fine.
