Win or draw, just make sure we qualify from here and avoid making the Bayern game crucial. Screw having an important game with Lewandowski on the other side.
No Gio?We win, we qualify.
Mourinho’s first home game, and I hope he gets the reception he deserves. We need to be as loud as we can and cheer on him and the team.
Gazzaniga
Aurier - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Davies
Dier - Winks
Lucas - Dele - Son
Kane
No changes. Time for some consistency. Only change, if any, may be Ndombele back in.
Looking forward to this, and would be good to confirm our progression to the knockout stage on the night. I don't want to have to depend on getting a result in Munich (although we did OK against Barca last year).
I definitely don't want to drop down to the Europa.
Fair enough, but I still would rather win the trophy with the Big EarsOf course, I wanna progress to the knockouts, but if it comes to it I think we should be all over it.... We have players that need game time and we've enough quality to win it..... Boom trophy & CL qualification.
A draw isn't enough. We need 2 points (thanks to a massively superior GD).
Draw is enough as long as Red Star don't beat Bayern. If everyone draws tomorrow we have a four point lead going to the last day, we're through.
We only need to win if Red Star beat Bayern at the same time.
If Poch does end up at Bayern, I don't think he would take over until after that match. Would be so nice to get a draw at least, if only to show them the team they played before has disappeared.For the first time in a while, I think this will be a big scoring win. 4 or 5 easily. As in the first time I'm confident of that.
Forget the away leg, we were carrying Eriksen for 90 minutes in that match, it was the first one where it became painfully obvious he was a gonner.
With no Eriksen, sensible tactics, players back to playing properly, I think we'll wipe the floor with them.
Their only point is from their home game with us, they got beaten by Red Star who we scored NINE against in 2 games.
The thought of qualifying with this game and not having to go away to Bayern (possibly led out by Poch) is motivation enough.
Any word of Nd's fitness?Olympiacos only have 1 point and really we should win or else our chances in the next round are poor. I think it is more important to keep the same side for Saturday and with MU the following week it might be a bit much to play the same 11 in all 4 games. This is the easiest and I would make a few changes Rose, Foyth, Ndombele all coming in and maybe switch Son to the right and play Sess instead of Moura. Would like to see Lo Celso at some stage.
Are they giving away Prince Charles?Fair enough, but I still would rather win the trophy with the Big Ears
