I think we have signed some good players and once JG has had them for longer I really think we'll see that come through. But even now you can see the quality is better than we had. The one that springs to mind straight away is Middleton v Dolček...

Rallying call - we are tired
Dundee United defender Krisztian Keresztes: "I don't think we are favourites but we will fight until the end.
"I think these type of games are where you can develop yourself because the big prize is on the line so we have to grow up for this and make the right decisions.
"We are tired, we don't have that many players, we have a lot of injuries but if you mentally prepare well I think you can be surprised how you are able to play."
I think we can win this game but we'll need to get everything right. If we pile some major pressure on them, get them rattled and score first you never know.
C'mon United 🧡
All depends on how we line-up. Goodwin says the four at the back didn't work well against Falkirk. We had KK as a left-back so it wouldn't have been as fluid as one would have hoped. Ferry in at left-back is a whole different scenario.
If Rapid have done their homework they would look to get at Iovu as the weak link. How do you derail their plans? You take Iovu out of the equation and Rapid have their homework all crumpled up and in the bin. I think Sapsford exposed a weakness in them, run at them and they weren't expecting that. He had a sight at goal and he scored. Goals can put a different perspective on games and as Stoke_Arab has mentioned above score first and you test the resolve of Rapid.
No matter what way the game goes tomorrow, Goodwin has to be credited with building a great squad. He has got the pace and trickery that we've all wanted for a while. His central defenders are great. His midfield has found new energy and this Danish boy looks as though he is the midfield version of Bert imo. All we require now is one central striker but I'm sure they have this player identified.
IMO we really need to score 1st or at least keep ourselves in the game for the 1st half...then anything can happen 🫣
We?ve lost 7 goals in the last three games with 6 coming from crosses. Two of those were directly from corners.Quote:

Big match tonight.
With United rather than Dundee it?s the ambition to project ourselves on a bigger stage and that?s what tonight is all about.
I hope we can play well and be competitive
I am worried after the goals conceded recently. It needs to be full concentration whatever happens and a will to win
The players need to really want this
COME ON UNITED !!!
Okay, maybe I got a bit carried away. I should have said Esselink is a terrific player with KK looking like a great player. I agree the goals we've let in have been poor and the three against Hearts were all on Iovu. I did say on the conclusion of the first leg in Vienna I would have played SCH against Hearts as Iovu did look a bit suspect. SCH might make mistakes but when Iovu does make mistakes I think that is when competition for places comes into play and he should be swapped over. Interesting to see if Iovu starts tonight.Quote:

Yeah, that was not long after the Hearts game. Was much more positive yesterday. It's a big ask but we can do it.Quote:
