Hope we aren't underestimating Dortmund with that team selection

Bit worried tonight...

We might only score three or four more than Dortmund.

It’s a sad day. We knew it was coming. @paulchapo, no direct tram from Alty.

At the moment it doesn't bother me I'm in Tenerife lol.

We have a game early Saturday there was always gonna be rotation.

Against this team I think he is more than capable of doing the job....

I would have thought it was Cancelo Rb, Ake lb and stones and Akanji in the middle? Makes more sense to me, but either way looks good

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

I would have played Foden and Silva instead of Grealish and Mahrez

 

[PaleBlue]

Wow, are BT on commission for punting Bellingham? The way they blew sunshine up him has me shitting it tonight - surely, he'll destroy us?

Got to love Wio with his comment: "it's the way he talks, the way he carries himself....innit", the man oozes class no?

Been pumped for this since 3pm, hope we smash them.

Mahrez and Grealish look a bit slow on the wings but they may suite a European game more.

Hard to see where the width is going to come from with 2 wide players that want to cut in, A FB that wants to do the same and likely Stones playing as FB and I can't see him overlapping either. That and a CM that lacks a bit in energy could make it a tricky evening.

Surprised he's gone with Akanji as Dortmund will know his game inside out and may be able to exploit any weaknesses.

The more I think about this one, the less sure I am that this is the right 11 for this game.
