Young Boys (A) - Wed 25th Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Haaland hatrick incoming CTID

Hope so, he’s still not scored a hat trick for us away from home, useless lump

 

[Stelea]

Ortega

Lewis Akanji Ederson

Nunes Phillips Gomez

Not quite 11 but everyone rested for the Rags!

Everytime we make a conserved effort to rest players, we are more sluggish.
Critical stage of the season now where momentum is needed

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Play absolutely none of our first XI. These rags need a real fucking pasting at the weekend.

IMO this is one of those very few CL games that you rest Haaland in.

With that being said, I was far more impressed than I expected to be by Young Boys when they played Leipzig. They scored an absolute beauty of a goal IIRC. Tough lineup to call with United following.

I'm sure this will get some laughs but If I had to guess...

Oretga
Lewis Dias Ake Gomez
Phillips
Kovacic Nunes
Bobb Alvarez Grealish

No chance, Pep will want these back to back games won the group wrapped up, then he’ll rest players.Will be a strong team this game.

Plastic pitch, the derby is hugely more important. I dont care one bit about this game tbh, we should have enough to get a result whatever we put out.

 

[Blu1]

Rest Bernie, doku, stones & Rodri be happy with a draw.

Give Jack, Nunes, Lewis & kova a run

 

[blue61]

Ortega is likely to be playing, Pep normally gives him a couple of games on the bounce

Keep stones away. They play on astro turf.

Would play Doku .. thought he was blowing out his arsenal after 60 minutes

Yeah, we get a very winnable game with half a team of second strings and it's as though they've never met. We should be able to pick any eleven starters from our CL squad and watch Young Boys burn!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

It's all about picking the rag team then working backwards for this game.

Pep won't see it that way

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Pep won't see it that way

Agree he probably won't.

Hopefully he'll take Walker/Stones out for Akanji/Lewis at least.

Might be going a bit too far, but I hope that would be enough.

3 points on Sunday for me

As the group stands, win midweek, and we're basically through, that will be the priority, with eyes on the weekend game.

If it's anything like that, Pep is a fool, we need to get the game won.

 

[Craig]

Derby Sunday I think a few won't be risked.

Would make sense but it doesn’t seem to matter how shit the opposition are early in the Chanps League. Pep seems to go all out to get the points on the board. It would be good to see us put in a convincing away performance.

We can beat these comfortably with a couple rested this weekends derby is the more important game.
