Napoli (Away) Pre Match Thread

[MarsLlama]

Napoli have GOT to win if they want a good chance of progressing. Shaktar will beat Feyenoord, of that I am almost certain. A Napoli loss here would leave them on 3 points with us on 12 and Shaktar most likely on 9.

With that in mind, I say we drop deep and counter the shit out of them. For that to work we need our best counter-attacking players on the pitch: De Bruyne, Sané, Sterling, Walker and Gundogan. I would suggest we rest Silva for this one- Ilkay is yet to start in a big game but I don't think he's much of a downgrade.

If we're playing on the counter then both Jesus and Gundogan are better options than Aguero and Silva.

I agree.

Fuck the Arsenal game, this is the priority until 22:00 Wednesday night then we'll see who's available and fresh for Sunday. There is no way our best player will be rested for the Champions League unless we are qualified.

This - 100%

Anyone got any recommendations as to where to watch the game in London? Train gets into Euston at 7pm, so somewhere around there/Bloomsbury/Holborn would be good.

Belts and braces lads!

The suspense is killing me.

I'd be more than happy with a draw, just hope we don't caught with our pants down.

Right now, if you had to prioritise these 2 games, the Napoli game is far more important. A defeat or draw to Arsenal barely changes anything, we'll be top whatever happens. But lose to Napoli and we will have to get a result in Ukraine in a very busy period.

Is absolutely the right answer. Not only that, win this one and it's done. He can play whoever he likes in the last two games whilst going full strength in the PL.
