The biggest game of the season so far. After our performance against Chelsea, I believe that we could get a win from this game.

Surely Bernardo starts after playing so well yesterday. Will he recover in time?

 

[lionheart]

I wonder how up for this Brugge will be
They are more or less through to the play off and looking at the the at the able at moment the lower you are the better chance you have of going through.

There are ten very good teams all within one point of the last automatic qualification spot with all to play for. Should be a great final night. Fortunately Brugge are not one of them but only two points off. The most noteworthy feature of their performance to date is that they have only scored six goals in their seven games but have conceded just eight, so I predict that we will have to be very patient to break them down. Am hoping for a tense 1-0 victory to see us through.

Shame we’ve potentially lost Bernardo’s running and marmoushes for this one. The legs and game intensity made a big difference from psg game along with Chelsea’s ineptness.

Should nail this.

 

[noseve]

Just win it - all this talk about who we want to play/avoid is nonsense. Nobody can determine who'll they'll face, and even then there'll be teams beating others who finished above them.
Polarised - we go out, or we go through.
I can only see us going through...

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

A win with a caveat, depends if we have 3 or more fit defenders. The new guys aren’t eligible, but hopefully those rested yesterday for part or all of the game will get us over the line.

 

[DMA's]

Really tempted to take the kids out of school and make the 11 hour round trip for this one. Fairly confident we will win comfortably but feels like it’s going to be a good night

 

[TheThirdDeano]

No disrespect but if we can’t beat club Brugge then we don’t really deserve to go through.

Too many 30 plus year old. Id rest at least of them. Beeny and Gundo will be my choice. Kevin didn't start at rhe weekend so he should be good.

Kova being the only old guy starting both gsmes for me.

Would put Grealish in ahead of Gundogan but Pep would never do that.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Can't wait for this now. We need to take the roof off the gaff

 

[blue whippet]

Going for a win because we need to win.

No disrespect but if we can’t beat club Brugge then we don’t really deserve to go through.

And if we don't we won't so sort of takes care of itself.
