I think I'd settle for 0-0 and Wilshere broken in pieces, stretchered off in tears.

Mildly excited about this one. Also looking forward to not spending ages travelling, my nearest game this season.
Interesting to see what the tactics will be. Let them have the ball and counter attack? Press? Attack ourselves?

They dont deserve that much respect in my opinion.....they are weak, spineless cowards.
Go at them aggressively and we win 5-0
Would be nice to see Winks vs Wheelchair, imagine it being a proper changing of who is the future of England’s midfield right there.
Tend to agree. Press them high up the pitch in the knowledge that we are through and can rest a few in Dortmund.
Surely want to beat Dortmund and aim to finish to of the group to avoid one of the (other!) European big boys?
Fuck that, I want to beat Dortmund, finish top of group, and STILL face one of the big boys.
Every draw, I want the toughest possible opponent that the draw allows for.
Interesting point of view and makes me wonder: would we as fans prefer:
a) a fairly straightforward and easier route to the final and a trophy
or
b) a blaze of glory exit against PSG (or similar) in a 5-4 loss over two legs both of which are better games than the RM @ Wembley win?
Tough choice? Or no? Love to hear your thoughts
Obviously win it. There are no easy games in the CL anyway. We would have to beat some (more) exceptional sides to win it. But there is also an argument we do better when we're the underdog.
Of course we want to beat Dortmund. But we can finish top of the group purely by beating APOEL. The Woolwich game is 1,000x more important than the Dortmund game.
Just wondering if we are an underdog after RM? We may not be top dog but surely we're at least 'dog'?
I just mean that in any game there is a favourite and an underdog. We often tend to do better when we're not expected to win. Take this year's CL group compared to last years, for example.
I get ya. Totally agree about us playing better when an as underdog. Pressure off seems to suit us better.

I’m excited but nervous for this. They will be up for it just as much as we are. The fact I’m on an all-dayer with 3 Woolwich fans doesn’t help either.
Turn up like like we have against Liverpool, Madrid and Dortmund then they won’t be able to handle us. Turn up like we did against United and Palace then we could cause ourselves issues.
Aldeweireld, Vorm and Lamela still ruled out and Dier is probably knackered.

Should be the team. Davies hasn't really deserved to lose his place and I don't think Rose has done anything in particular for him to have won his place back. Trippier back in after Auriers disappointing showing against Palace. Dembele back in if fit. Dele, Winks and Kane will all be fit and fine I'm sure.Sanchez - Dier - Vertonghen

I agree with this except Davies in for Rose as Ben has been one of our best players this season and Rose still doesn't look 100% fit
Getting their excuses in early I'd guess.
