That’s an attacking team isn’t it… big game for Rogers.  And Diaby.

4-2-4? Looks like Unai has given up on having a midfield.

Anyway, never mind all that. What songs are we going to sing at Jordy?

Come on, you fuckers, let's see a proper decent 90 minutes for the first time in a while.

Maybe not Moscow II.  That’s a strong line up.
Let’s see if they try. 
Could be a corker.

I can't see playing out from the back working here...

I'd probably have stuck Duran and Tielemans in for Martinez and Pau.

Looks like we're sacrificing midfield. The line-up does not fill me with confidence.

It's a 'can't win' situation for him, really, either way.

Let's fucking go for it. Win this competition and we're Europa League *at least* depending on how we finish in the league. It's not a no-win situation.

And 4th is more likely to be 5th and above if we win it, too.

What is the point in getting all excited about qualifying for Europe only to then shit the bed at the first sight of it being a challenge?
