A draw would be a good result. Hope one of KdB-Silva pair is rested/substituted early (though knowing Pep, I doubt it's possible).
 
For the life of me I was sure this was tonight for some mad reason. But it's not, its tomorrow( wed) yet them #UNTS are not only playing at home against the whipping boys on a Tuesday( a day before us) yet they get to play on Sunday and at a LATER time than us! Absolutely fucking ridiculous!! And the grey haired miserable meerkat bastards still f****** moaning! I swear down that we really are something that the F A, Premier league, Uefa and Fifa stood in and are trying to eradicate! I won't be booing at the next champs league game, I'm taking my sledgehammer and smashing fuck out of the tannoy!! Corrupt load of vile troffy C####!! Only only saving grace is Arsenal are playing on Thursday, but I've a strong feeling their team will resemble nothing to the side that plays us.

At least Chelsea will be rested when they play them for what could be a very significant Sunday

I don't know about that Marvin, I hope so. They've got a toughie at Roma. Just seems it's all fell into place for them vile bastards as per usual.
 
Pep-Sarri bromance continues.

Sarri: "I've always liked Guardiola's football philosophy. At times it borders on genius."
Sarri: "We can cause them real trouble, but we need to be perfect at the back."
Sarri: "We'll try to get a result. We have to give it a go."
Sarri: "I don't know if it'll be decisive, but it would be a big plus if we can take points off City."
Sarri: "City always approach matches phenomenally well and we need to be ready for that."
 
Napoli is probably the best team we have met in the season so far. I see them as being tier 2 in Europe at the moment, not at the level of PSG, Real, Barca and Bayern, but just behind. It will be interesting to see how we fare against such a competent opponent. It will tell a lot about our chances of going really far in the CL.
 
Napoli are a very good team, but we were masters of our own (near) downfall in the home game. If we want top spot then we really need to go out and win all the games and then a draw at Shakhtar will do us in the final game. Looking at the other groups, there isn't a huge difference between 1st and 2nd place so it might not be a huge benefit to us to be top.

I saw enough in the last game to see that his hype is definitely to be believed.

A coach I would love to see in the PL soon hopefully.

Looking at the groups we probably want Real Madrid beating Tottenham tomorrow.

Even finishing top could see us get Roma/ Atletico, Bayern, Juventus, Madrid if Spurs win tomorrow and go on and win the group.

CHampions League definitely looks more competitive this year.

If Roma could also beat Chelsea, we could potentially see something like: Basel, Bayern, Juve, Spartak, Leipzig. That's not a bad pick tbf.
