Draw written all over this

And so what if it is? rags have 3 games in 5 days. No chance they are winning all 3

Be a draw this

You must be feeling better

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Be a draw this

I'd settle for that for not giving too much away

We should be prepared for a dull game whatever happens.

Weird team but c'mon City

Chelskis best 11 there and a lot of changes for us gives me a nagging worry but fuck it, COME ON CITY.....

they know how we play , there is no point keeping a secret

You are missing the point. They don’t know how their players and system under Tuchel works in practice against our best team. Everyone knows the theory behind our play, but until they are on the pitch, they don’t know how well they can execute their game plan against us and whether it needs tweaking. And they still won’t know when they cross the white line in Istanbul. They will have a plan based on how we play, of course they will, but they won’t be sure it’s the right one. Giving them a test run would give them a chance to improve on their first attempt. Why give them that luxury? No need for it.

Thinking about it. Yes Tuchel is a great coach and knows what we are about. But to play our best team tonight gives him more opportunities to see things in so far how his players react etc . If we were 2 point ahead of United it would be a real gamble but we can afford to drop points tonight. ( As disappointing as it to not win the league tonight )

Bernie and Foden should significantly boost us in the CL final.
