CL last 16 draw - Monaco

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I was just referring to the first game, genuinely hadn't even thought of the 2nd leg.

I hope we play a 'normal' game in the second leg and don't try to defend a one or two goal lead, if we have that luxury. If, and it might be the biggest if of the season, we can keep a clean sheet, we can always nick a goal with our strike force.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Saw their games against Spurs in the group stages and Monaco were very open, just Spurs couldn't take advantage
and Spurs' defence wasn't up to much.

It's a bit better than ours though so 4-2 and 2-2 called for...

They are a real threat going forward. Lemar, Bernardo Silva, Falcao, and that LB Mendy. Very strong and physical side too. It'll be a much tougher game than most realize.

They are the highest scorers in Europe with a very young team and are top of the French league. Gabriel Marcotti said that if they keep their best players they could be a dominant force in Europe for years to come. I thought they murdered Spurs. This will be an incredibly difficult tie with all the pressure on us. The English media, as usual, is underestimating our opposition. I watched their recent game with PSG on TV. It finished 1-1 but Monaco were much the better team.

 

[_OVO_]

Monaco were 3-0 up after 21 mins against Metz. HT now currently.
1st and 3rd scored by Mbappe, 2nd by Falcao.

 

[Mike N]

Just what we need, a seriously difficult opponent to bring out the very best in our team.

 

[Andouble]

They are absolutely rampant.

5-0 now and there are still 35 mins to play...they are this season like us when won the double in MP first season a goal machine....i dont thnk for a second we will keep them at bay over 2 legs so in pep s place i will play a team and a tactic that make sure we will outscore them

 

[Marvin]

5-0 now to Monaco. Less than an hour gone. Less than 10,000 in ground. Metz are terrible

 

[FJRMCFC]

Finishing needs to be on point for both games. Could get ugly on the counter vs these lot, especially Kylian Mbappe.
