Napoli (Away) Pre Match Thread

Let this one go,arsenal game more important.

Totally agree.

Pep only knows one way to play, which unfortunately was our downfall last year when we went to Monaco with a 2 goal lead. Oh well, go for it lads. We'll qualify by beating Feyenoord anyway

He now has the players to play his way. What's the problem?

If Shaktar need to beat City to qualify, and City already through, Pep will defo send a reduced squad.
A. The derby at the weekend.
B. Napoli out, they're a dangerous brute

We will be playing the way we usually do. Do twitching or changing. I think we will go
Ederson
Danilo stones otamendy
Walker..Fernandinho...Delph
Silva... Debruyne... Sane
Aguero

ffs. will people stop saying if we lose to napoli we will beat feyernoord and go through anyway. no no. if shaktar beat feyernoord and we lose to napoli then we beat the dutch whipping boys but napoli beat shaktar it will all depend on our last game in kharkiv. we could go out with 12 points which seems unreal

Pep will be going to win the game.

Only if Napoli beat us by more than we beat them, or Shaktar do us worse than they got done at the Etihad. Those are both slim chances, esp are chilly when you throw in losing at home to Feyenoord as well....but everything is possible today.

the only way we rest players for the derby is if we go into the last game against Shaktar with top spot in the group wrapped up. The only way I can see this happening is if we beat Napoli. A draw is not ideal, a win is what's required and that's what will happen.

If we draw tonight and win at home to Feyenoord then we need a napoli win v shaktar to guarantee 1st place with one match to spare. I think this is perfectly plausible.

Tonight is going to be very tough though. I have one of those uncomfortable feelings about it.
