Here is a link to hopefully answer my earlier question...

Am still reading posts saying that the group play-offs are NOT part of the Knock Out stage and therefore the squad cannot yet be changed. Any definitive answers out there?
On a slight tangent, how on earth have Liverpool got away with fielding a reserve eleven in a game which PSV had to win to qualify? Surely that is against the spirit of the competition.
Not checked the fixture list recently but I bet we have some very tricky EPL games before & between the UCL play-offs, while most Top 4 rivals will be resting.
Are you a genuine City supporter? To answer your strange question, which I suspect may be a joke, no not exactly. We merely get the chance to play-off against another top team in order to reach the last sixteen.
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...
Has anyone seen the MEN player ratings? The new boy gets 4, Kovacic 4, Bernardo 6, Nunes 6 and Marmoush only 6. That Rag journalist needs a good thrashing.
With respect, Neville did say that City fully deserved their win. I thought his comments generally were quite fair unlike Tim Sherwood earlier querying why we should be allowed to buy players while the 115 decision not yet made, prick.
Beating the Belgians on Wednesday must be our priority, so I would not be disappointed to see Haaland, Foden and KDB starting from the bench today. Give our Egyptian warrior the opportunity to shine.
Nonsense team selection. KDB was subbed early at Ipswich with this game in mind. Likewise Gundog was left on for 90 mins knowing that rested Bernardo will start instead.
