Basel (H) - Pre match thread.

Yeah I think so

No alcohol at Champs League games.

Think different in lounges like 93:20.

We'll probably rotate a fair bit tonight but I would like to see another comfortable win.

Liverpool were in the same situation last night and served up some absolute dross, we're better than that.

Oh thought they sold it at the square I know they don't in the ground. My bad.

City Sq will serve booze on CL games, it’s only in the ground you can not get a pint

why must he?

Matt has money on Basel winning on the night.

I an sure Jesus will start.

I would love to see a forward 3 of Jesus, Sane and Sterling. But however good the starting line-up, the quality of the football will depend on the desire of the players to win. Not easy when you are 4-0. I watched some of the Liverpool v Porto and PSG v Real Madrid games last night, and I just could not get interested in them.

These games are usually hugely dramatic classic games, but not if they are already decided.

Im willing to bet the following 6 start :Gundo, Jesus, Sterling, Stones, Delph and Ederson.

Outside that, the other 5 is dicey. I am almost sure Aguero, and Otamendi wouldn't.

Thus the maybes are as follows;
Sane or Bernardo?
Walker or Danilo?
Kompany or Laporte

The midfield is a mess:
Silva or Yaya
Debryune or Foden

Here is my conxconclu

Ederson
Danilo...Stones... Kompany....Delp D
Debryune....Yaya... Gundogan
Bernado....Jesus.... Sterling

That's what i think will happen. Personally, I'd rather see Sane over Bernardo so Sterling can play on the right.

Surely a rest for KDB, no?

I hope, bit Pep seems to need one of David or Kevin playing. Since I rested David, I started Kevin. It could be the other way around.

Very handsome where I sit

I saw several Basel fans in Starbucks town just now, about six of them plus me , my lad and the Mrs. so guaranteed 9 at least!

 

[Bluep*ss]

What's the crowd looking like?

My guess is 33,243............
