Borussia Dortmund (A) - Tue 25th Oct, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Are we thinking a standard 442 or 4411 with Foden & Mahrez as traditional wide men in a 4? Or more of a 3 2 2 1 2? Should be interesting to see.

Could be anything, most likely though the usual 433.

 

[M Gaudino]

KDB, Bernardo, Akanji and Laporte must be too.

Akanji was crap against liverpool and laporte is carrying a knock, kdb needs a rest so all makes sense.

this game is very very low importance.

also be novel to have a keeper that might save a shot when we're under pressure

Three centre backs for them + Can, everyone else looks very attack minded. Maybe Can at full back where he played for Liverpool when they lost 6-1 to Stoke. Then again might work if Foden can't trouble makeshift Young & Milner combined age of 90.

No injury to Ederson apparently

We only need a draw to top the group and he was a bit iffy on Saturday (although he did still make a match winning save). A rest will do him good.

First game was in 78 not that is any of your business. Lighten up ya mard arse its the pre match thread for discussing the team amongst other things.

After you have set up the in pep we trust thread set up whose the biggest blue ever thread.

Touchy fucker:-)

Rather be a touchy positive fucker than a negative whingey knicker wetting fucker.

Whatever. Let's see where we are at HT. Not one to criticise before a ball has even been kicked.

Some players need rotating and this is as good a game as any. It's a line up that is hard to predict how we will play.

I would like to see Phil in the middle so fingers crossed.

I suspect they've all been rested with the weekend's game in mind.

 

[bluealf]

I feel sorry for John, he isn't a fucking right back, and neither is Akanje.

 

[Dave.]

They’ve gone very attacking.

We’ll get a lot of joy in this game down the left
