No CL game is easy. Its arrogance like that could be our down fall.

Yeah they've lost almost everything that got them fourth last year, including (especially) the manager.

If olympiakos at home taught us anything, no game is easy in europe. We always drew with a poor mostar team.

Wont take nothing for granted but we should be clear favourites on paper

"No CL game is easy" Hahaha. There is already enough data from this season's first two game weeks to show that there is some proper fodder in there to feed on. 9-2, 7-1, couple for 5-0 and plethora of 4-0, 4-1 scores.

You’re right, I’ve got to be careful. Who knows how my arrogance will rub off on Unai and the team.

3-0 Bologna.

Yeah there is some real dross in this seasons CL.

I think we will make mincemeat out of the Bolognese. 2-0 and barely out of wnd gear.

A win on Tuesday night will put us in a very strong position in terms of making the play-off stage at the least.

There was talk that 8-10 points is what it would take to finish in the top 24. So it might be that a win turns out to be enough to guarantee it already.

I would go strong from the start, and think Unai will too:

Martinez

Cash Konsa Torres Digne

McGinn Tielemans Onana Ramsey

Rogers Watkins

Lots of subs after the hour when hopefully we've got a decent lead. Barkley on for Tielemans, Maatsen for Digne, Duran for Ollie, etc.

Young boys was.

Bologna had a slow start but six draws indicates they're hard to beat so we'll have to break them down so could be one settled with a couple of late goals.

9 points from first 3 would be incredible and we'd then need just one more win to qualify for knock outs.

I read somewhere Duran is suspended as booked in first two CL matches. Annoying with the Young Boys yellow as the goal was cancelled in the end so odd his yellow still stands.

Three yellows for a ban.

Thanks. I'd start him in that case. Keep Ollie fresh for Bournemouth.

They have a Colombian CB called Lucumi so will be a good battle between the two.
