Feyenoord (H) - Tues 26th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I’d go with
Ortega; Lewis Simon-Pusey Akanji Ake; Wright Nunes KDB; Grealish Haaland Foden

I'd play the women's team.

 

[Stelea]

Could this be the last of our proud unbeaten records fall in the space of a month.

Unbeaten in the league - Gone
Unbeaten in Europe - Gone
Unbeaten in the Prem at home (2 years) - Gone

Unbeaten in Europe at home ……,,,,,?

 

[WestGorton]

Much bigger game now than Liverpool. Must win and avoid play offs. Get players back hopefully etc

 

[eyalluvitt]

Any result outside of a defeat will be great, but a scanky or not so scanky win will be fantastic. Cause sure as eggs is eggs the Dippers game will be a very painful watch, if we give Mo Salad the amount of space we have everyone else this season......boy it could be a long day at the office!!

Two keepers may be the way to go

 

[MillisleBlue]

Gonna be a long night when Feyenoord score with their first attempt on goal...

 

[Mr HJ]

If I was Pep he needs to sit down with Kev and say I know you are not totally right but I need you big time. Please forget all the voting crap you will be skipper for this one and you can play a little deeper to control the tempo of the game. You will not be stuck on the right wing you will affect everything we try to do and release Erling quicker. He looked ok today and a 60% Kev is a world better than having Rico or Gundo in that position (today neither created a single chance)

The time for 3 yard rondos in the middle and 70% possession while Erling runs and stops, runs and stops can be put on the back burner, we are going to play faster and not overthink it.

No Walker, No Rico, No Sav. Jack wide left Phil wide right. Fingers crossed Ruben can make it too.

Do this and we win. We need born winners in there as we cannot sleep walk through anymore games where unless we score early we fold like Kyle Walker in a sex addiction clinic.

I might phone the Etihad with an Irish accent to get it called off

An ‘Irishman’ who just landed on a beach in county Cork in a dinghy?

What’s the number and I will call

 

[jrb]

Ake left back gvardol and akanji cb walker right back

Walker right back in the dressing room. :-)

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

McAtee should start

Fuck it we need to try something different

Silva/Gundo/Lewis isn’t exactly getting us very far

 

[super_city_si]

Do we go with the strongest side or do we again mix and match with an eye on another tough game expected on Sunday? We could do with trying to claw back some confidence.

As strong as possible. We need to snap the losing streak.

I’ve no idea what they’re like but pray to god they’re shit

Sadly not shit, but not the best either.

 

[Fordyboy46]

If we don't win this I honestly fear Liverpool will take us to the cleaners

 

[Fordyboy46]

They're half decent pal

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Don't think this will have bearing. Either way we'll get beaten comfortably by the dippers. Our midfield doesn't scare anyone these days and Gvardiol v Salad doesn't even bare thinking about. Feynoord will not fear us one bit!

 

[Gray]

There’s nothing better than getting the pre-match thread up instantaneously after a defeat.

Get the Scouse one up to see what we all predict for that match.

 

[Gray]

Ortega
Akanji Simpson-Pusey Ake Gvardiol
Nunes O'Reilly
McAtee KDB Grealish
Haaland

I don’t think so.
