Napoli (Away) Pre Match Thread

[Tricky_Trev]

When you factor in how much more important this is for Napoli than us, I'm expecting our first defeat of the season. A draw or better would be a phenomenal result.

Just have a feeling that we will go 3 at the back (Danilo on the right) for this one to limit Fernandinho getting overloaded as he was in the 2nd half hour of the previous game. Jesus to be rested.

Just stay safe those that are going.

Are we about to see our enigmatic third kit for the first time, also?

At least it'll give Pep an excuse if we lose: "It was so, so difficult for my players to see each other in that camouflage kit..." ;-)

Biggest game of the season so far a draw would be a fantastic result but a win would just be the icing on the cake,in the terms of resting players for the last two champions league games with regards the league campaign,as for the match itself I can’t see them not scoring their a very good side who are maybe not getting the credit they deserve I’ll go for a 2.2 ..

napoli will score. definitely our toughest test yet, yet strangely confident we can get a result. their defence isn't great

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Think we will smash them

Surprised to see so many posters have David and De bruyne in their starting line ups.

They both played 90 min on Saturday vs Burnley. Next up is Wednesday against Napoli away and Sunday against Arsenal at home.

Does everyone really expect David and Kevin to start all 3 games????

I am expecting at least one of the them to be rested but would prefer both.

Gundogan and Bernardo are not really downgrades and they both need game time.

Napoli will make 2 changes to their midfield 3 and starting Kevin and David means we are likely to lose. I would be very surprised if Pep doesn’t see them but I expect he will.

In what universe would you think playing 2 of our best players would mean we would lose? this is one of our hardest games so far this season and you don't leave out kev and dave if they are fit
