We all going on a European tour!

Nice feeling to actually be back in European competition after a while.

Carrier Bag shouldn’t present too much of a problem. (You’d think ..)

 

[J.spurs]

Good thing we're not traveling there. Definitely need to smash this group, as some pretty tough tests await in Europe. They'll likely play like most of our opponents do these days. Agree with @Havocc on the starting XI, but sadly Spence isn't in the EL squad.

I've heard any travelers to London / the UK brings crime with, so watch what you wish for

Starting XI: Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Subs: Forster, Austin, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski, Moore, Werner, Lankshear

 

[BrooklynYid]

So glad Forster isn't playing. Never love Davies at LB, but he should be fine with VDV next to him.

I like the look of that team. Good opportunity for Gray and Bergvall to get a start. Not the usual 9 changes we would make for a game like this in the past. Hopefully if we can get a comfortable lead, it will also be a chance for Moore to get a decent bit of game time too.

 

[Strikegold]

Our right side looks the weaker in defence so could be targeted .

 

[J.spurs]

 

[BrooklynYid]

If we can continue to keep the opposing teams from showing up, we got a real shot at this cup!

 

[Style And Glory]

MI6 involved. Levy wants the revenue from the game.

 

[ClemFandango]

Weirdly I was wondering about a Mickey and Dragusin partnership just the other day. Be interesting to see how it works out.

 

[ClemFandango]

Kicking off at 8:35pm apparently.

 

[Strikegold]

Qarabag are an experienced European side.

 

[J.spurs]

Oh FFS.

 

[ClemFandango]

Well then ..

 

[Havocc]

Stoopid

 

[ClemFandango]

That’s a shame for Bergvall.

 

[ClemFandango]

Get in! Go on Brennan (again..)

 

[Havocc]

Great press, pass and finish

 

[Dave]

Great work from Solanke.

 

[Style And Glory]

Good for Brennan

 

[J.spurs]

This Romao guy is kicking everything that moves

 

[ClemFandango]

Gray having a very good game.

 

[BrooklynYid]

We need to get comfortable with them having the ball. No need to chase. It's all they're looking for. If we don't give up our typical counter, we'll win.

 

[ClemFandango]

How the fuck did he miss that ?

 

[BrooklynYid]

How the fuck did he miss that ?

He probably knew he was off.

 

[ClemFandango]

He probably knew he was off.

Yeah fair point.

Decent half overall. I think we responded well after the red but we definitely need another goal.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Yeah fair point.

Or we just need to sit back. They won't create anything if we don't give it to them. Hell, they can't even convert when they have grade A chances. Balls over the top, keep possession when we can, and drop when we turn it over. Yeah, no way Ange is doing that!

 

[Ted the Yid]

Have to feel sorry for Bergvall. Gray has been good. We have been great on the right flank tonight.
