Hoffenheim (A) 1755hrs - Pre Match Thread

[The Black Shed]

I wouldn't care if we played nine at the back, just get this one won, close the plane doors and laters potaters.
We owe Liverpool, I feel it, the players must do, so a nice tidy performance tonight, no knocks, no fights and all in tip-top fashion for Sunday.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

I only know one of their players

 

[OntarioBlue]

can honestly say I dont know anything about any of their players

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Is it 4-3-3 with Laporte at left back? He's too slow to play as a full-back. Or is it 3-5-2 with Sane at LWB and Raz as a 2nd striker next to Aguero?

 

[Gray]

Haven't heard of any of that lot.

But I bet some of them are excellent players.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Vinny and otto as CBs and Laporte LB.

very strong front 3 and D Silva behind.

 

[inchy14]

It’s 3 at the back with the ball and 4 without with Laporte drifting towards left back, we’ve played it before I’m certain.

 

[domalino]

Foden not even on the bench.

 

[Eaglechief]

Still not keen on Gundogan and Fernandinho playing alongside each other (as witnessed against Lyon), but it all depends on how Pep sets up the team and tactics.

I hope Hoffenheim aren't a high pressing team, I don't know anything about them.

 

[Ric]

Did any of their players who were injury doubts make the starting XI, or have they got a weakened line-up?
