Pretty relaxed this time than the same day last week. Mbappe is not training with the squad thats a plus point for us. Even if he plays and is fully fit Dias will have him in his pocket as like last week.
 
Fernandinho came off at Palace when one would have expected it to be Rodri. Wonder if the game management experience of Ferna, possibly alongside Rodri, with Gundo & KDB, plus Foden & Mahrez upfront?

The “Ferna at RCB” experiment at Palace was interesting. I just wonder if we might play a 4-4-2 set up, as above, but allow Ferna to slide into RCB (thus a 3/5 at the back set up) to allow the FBs (Walker & Zin) to get forward?

The Tuchel System, with 2 FBs that play along each line to allow overloads in each third, is working well for them, and I just wonder if Pep was working on a tweak if that system against Palace.

For my money, you put your best team out there, knowing they need 2 to win.
 
From what I have seen of their pre match talk they plan to press us high and mercilessly.

Keep calm, create the space, and they could be blowing steam by half an hour.

Look for that ball over the top too from Eddie. It's a valid part of our game and utilising it to score first would kick some French gonads hard.
 
at this stage were not going to have it all our own way so we need to defend well and keep calm,
 
90 f***ing mins away from UCL final. Wow!
My lineup will be:
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo
Rodri
Dinho
Gundogan
Mahrez
Foden
KDB


But I assume Zin will play as a LB and Bernardo instead of Rodri
 
I think we'll concede but i trust this side to keep calm and do whatever it takes to get through.
It'll be nervy and we'll all be anxious at times but i'm going for a 1-1 draw on the night.
The matchday thread will be fun
 
I hope the pitch is better tonight, had some decent weather so hopefully

Probably one of my biggest concerns tbh, plays into a counter attacking teams hands
 
Is this an important match? Yes. Is it the most important match in the history of this club? Far, far from it. When we went down against Stoke, into the third tier of the league, I couldn't believe it. It was as if the world had fallen in. We were too big, our support was too fanatical! But it was so. Sunderland are having to live with that now (hope they go up in the play-offs). That's perspective.
I'll be annoyed if we go out, very annoyed in fact, because we're sound in a way we've never been before in Europe. Really solid. This is a very good chance. We are indeed terrifying Europe a bit these days. But if we do go out, the world will not have fallen in.
By the way — to be clear — I expect us to go through.

Couldnt sleep last night with nerves and tension, got reminded at one point that I'm not playing. Probably as well, wouldnt fancy myself these days.
