Need to take of a striker and bring on bernardo

 

[chestervegasblue]

Gundogan for Jesus anyone?

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Good work out for the defence and Ederson at least! We will be fine here, get the first and we will play a lot better. Its coming

 

[Gabriel]

Very good game of football. They're a technically fantastic side (always liked Bernard) and are moving the ball nicely to open space around Walker. When you watch sides like this, you appreciate that its utter rubbish that we're playing against in most domestic games.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

so Shakhtar can fall over, organise a defensive shape, run around a lot and their forwards can dribble a bit.

and we're making such hard work of it. We don't do good first half's at home.

 

[chesterbells]

pfff they're decent alright, but we've been a bit aimless

About sums it up.
They do look capable of scoring, their No10 looks dangerous. Could see this nil nil, although in the premier league you'd expect our skill to overrun them in the second half as they tire. They do look more comfy on the ball than many of our prem opponents.

 

[blueinsa]

Shaktar technically good as Pep said they would be and we have been a little below par but should still be winning if Kev and Leroy take those chances.

Still confident we will grind them down in the second half.

 

[Bpughh]

leroy is something yo. too bad we didnt get mbappe. him sane jesus sterling brahim sancho. we woulda been set... ps i smell spaghetti

 

[deano ou812]

Think also we our trying to manage the game as in conserve energy for the Chelsea game,we have only shown glimpses of what tempo we normally play at,probably and hopefully up it now second half..

 

[kaz7]

Doubt any changes to start with just a rocket up the arse from pep
