CL Lille at home Tuesday 21st Jan @ 8pm

Should beat them but their form in the CL suggests they could make it tricky.


They have beaten Real Madrid in France and beaten Atletico Madrid 3-1 in Spain so they carry a threat.

Curious to see Jonathan David up against a back line as good as our own as well. He has six goals and three assists from 10 appearances in the CL so far this season.

Have a feeling this may be another Atalanta result from last year where we get caught out. I'd like to see Chiesa given a start or Nunez. Or both.

Given that Ibou has revealed that he’s returned from injury early and is needing pain killers to play, I hope he’s rested completely for this one. But the fact he was involved in the press conference suggests he’ll be involved.

Maybe, but we have in the past sometimes used a senior player whose nationality matches the country the other team is from for European ties so that player can speak directly to media from that country in the PC.

I'm hoping it's that. But in those other cases, I'm pretty sure the native speaker has also always played in the game too.

Would be unusual for a player to be put up for a press conference for a match that he's never going to be involved in, but hopefully that is the case here.

He might just be in the match day squad or on the bench.

Watch out for the 17 year old midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, a real rising talent.

Timmy LB, Konate rested, Conor at RB, jones back in, otherwise business as usual, Nunez up front

[Sus]

Why is Salah starting? Hopefully hooked at halftime for Chiesa

[Tatterdemalion]

I thought Slot would put out a weaker team than that given the noises he was making in the presser

Hopefully the team starting will have us in a position to do that n

[peterbread]

Disappointed Elliot isn’t getting a start again. Had an impact on the game on the weekend. I suppose Dom has missed a few games so doesn’t necessarily need a rest. Maybe we’ll see some planned halftime subs.

Piss flaps and wank, that's a strong line up
