United are going to win all their remaining games so I would not shed a tear if we don't reach the UCL semis, where either opponent would be too good for us on current form.

Thankfully Pep had bigger balls, broader horizons and more realistic ambitions than you.

Fucking "lionheart"? "Shitarse" would be more appropriate.
 
I don't think we will stop them from scoring and they wont stop us either.
This tie will be close and I would not be surprised if it went down to away goals.

united will drop points mark my words ? at the moment they are cocky cunts but that defence will let them down
forget the spurs game they rolled over like always when facing united ? but you can bet your house they will be turning up in the final in a couple of weeks

I don't know whether the rags will win all their games or not but one thing is sure they won yesterday because of an excellent 2nd half performance not because Spurs rolled over. Spurs are a fairly average side with a cautious manager but they have match winners in Kane and Song and I expect it to be difficult against them.
 
After the first leg Pep said we're going to change the press and we're going to change the build up.

Cancelo was one of the players specifically called out for having a shit game last week. Zinchenko is one of the most integral players to the build up so if you want better build up, he's going in. As for pressing, no one organises and runs our press like Jesus and he also gives more help to the midfield than anyone else in the front 3, constantly dropping in to receive the ball or tackle.

We know Fernandinho isn't going to start 2 games in 4 days with his 36th birthday 3 weeks away. I think Bernardo's very unlikely to after playing 93 minutes of terrible football on Saturday.


So I'm expecting -

Ederson, Zinchenko, Dias, Stones, Walker; Rodri, Gundogan, KDB, Foden, Jesus, Mahrez.

Wouldn't be surprised if Sterling started ahead of Jesus though, he also offers a very good press but also legs to get in behind Dortmund's slow backline.

I like that line up and agree about Jesus. Please no Sterling

If laporte is fit, I think he will start ahead of stones.

I've been thinking that's a possibility because we struggled to play out from the back on that left hand side. However I think that it would be Dias dropped ahead of Stones, just about, on form.
