FC Basel (a) pre-match thread

[augpet]

Hope delph and silva will be back for this one

Hmmm, this could actually be a good chance to rotate, but I reckon we'll see a full strength side.

They an hour ahead aren't they

 

[Mcfc S71]

Yeah 8.45pm local time kick off says on my ticket.

 

[Bayblue]

Need a strong team out for this. No complacency now

Can’t see it. We don’t really have any players anyway.

One big effort in this then 6 days rest. Keep De Bruyne, Aguero and a couple of others out of the Wigan game.

Personally I think we will win this game fairly comfortably.

 

[Andouble]

Danilo at LB, Stones at CB, rest of team the same I reckon

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Laporte
Zinchenko
Dinho
De Bruyne
David Silva
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero

No, we've only got Wigan next week

I'd say its a good chance to go full strength, get the tie won in the first leg and rest a load for the 2nd leg

Only Wigan in the FA cup...

 

[scousemanc]

Yes, full strength for this and then 6 days off. That's nice.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Wouldnt underestimate Basel , they have a good record against English teams , a score draw wouldnt be the end of the world , quite sure we would finish the job at Casa Etihad.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

They have a lot of pacey athletic players so full strength.

Totally confident that Pep and this team won’t make the mistakes we made in the past against Wigin

 

[Withnail]

Don't know much about Basel but this won't be easy. Hope Silva and Delph are back for this one, apart from that same team as today.

 

[bumbleblue]

Don’t know much about them tbh but expect Pep has a plan. Glad second leg at home just in case.

 

[goater1985]

More chance of serg not getting 200 goals than us not going full strength for this. This is the game for the owners 0-3
Great trip for the travelling blues

 

[vmsuhail]

Full strength side, hopefully settle the tie and rest the key players in FA Cup before the Carabou final.
