Bizot

Garcia
Lindelof
Mings
Digne

Bogarde
McPhee

Sancho
Buendia
Jimoh-Aloba

Guessand
100% agree, although I’m not sure McPhee can last 90 mins. We can’t even risk Hemmings in this one.

That's fine, if you want us to end up having to play a further two games just in order to make the last 16.

If we need to win one more, home to Salzburg feels like the more winnable game to me.

If we are resting players, Tielemans not travelling is the most important. We can't afford to lose another CM to injury.

This is where the GAE result/performance is going to come back and bite us. We should be comfortably top of the group, but the attitude in that game has led us to need to win this and the home game to get top 2.

Jhon Duran has had his two-game ban reduced to one and therefore will be able to play against #AVFC on Thursday.

Can’t say I’m feeling confident about this one.

Suspect we’ll lose by a couple.

Four points would secure us top 8 and straight through to the last 16. Three points could well be not enough.

2-0 defeat. Resting a few players might be an idea.

Presumably our wage bill still dwarves theirs - even with the absences - which is how modern football seems to work?

I fear a defeat here, we are so low on numbers due to injuries/players leaving that we will probably have the shithouse cleaner on the bench to make up the numbers.

A loss, over 2.5 and Duran scoring anytime is 4/1 if anyone wants some free money

This will be a spanking. Really hope we don’t start anyone crucial/important

Loads of people were saying this at the match yesterday and I thought it was bollocks because there was no news on X or here.
