Lucas and Mascherano together attack minded through the middle then?!

I hope Babel proves his worth tonight.

[JPK]

That team should win. Hope a few of the kids get a run

[Mike]

We need a win, Benitez is making pressure for himself selecting a team like this.

[Chris]

We need a win.

No we dont, far from it. It'll be good if we top the group and get what comes with it, but if we dont its no big deal.

[-V-]

This match is not important, we don't need to win. Good to try out a few new things in a competitive game without it being risky.

Babel on the right wing! This should be interesting. Will be good to see Ngog in a starting role too!! I had hoped Darby would get a start but can't complain with that line-up. Competitive atleast !

Rather us finish first than second, makes the next phase easier.

Why make it harder for yourself?

[cadmium]

there's no easy games in the group stage, ok there is home advantage in the secong leg if you finish first, but no biggy, rather players were rested for the weekend, when the three points are far more vital.

It might not be harder, unless you can see the future.

I agree it'll be good if we finish top, im just disputing the fact we "need" to win. We "needed" to beat Marseille away last year, we dont need to win this.

I think we do need to win this. I for one don't fancy someone like Inter or Barca in round 2.

Yeah we're ****e in the CL so would be nailed on to get smashed. Infact if we ever met Inter they'd humiliate us.

My point exactly

[poorscousertommy]

Is that all you get for finishing first? I was thinking we can only pull teams placed 2nd in their group?

[poorscousertommy]

Why be a smart arse with your reply. I at no point said they would beat us. Just would rather face them later on in the competition.
