Napoli (Away) Pre Match Thread

Could be a long night if we don't score first.

Bit negative there Tolm. I genuinely believe we can get a result in Naples if we set up right and nullify their own passing game.

This is arguably Napoli's biggest game of the group stage. They have to win otherwise they could see themselves 6 points behind Shakhtar and 9 behind us.

I doubt very much they want Europa League campaign on top of their title hunt.

I think we need to get at least a draw because if results go against us we could be going into that last group game before the derby away at Shakhtar with a top of the group decider.

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

 

[cadds92]

Aguero will start this with Jesus starting against Arsenal

Sane and Sterling will play both games I reckon.

Oh yeah! I forgot about that kit.

The onus is on Napoli to win this game , which plays into our hands , they will play the high press and if we start Sane ,Sterling and KDB they are vulnerable to our pace on the counter attack , a point will put us through to the group stages , perhaps Pep will borrow the keys to one of PEG's fleet of Leyland Atlantean buses , not a f*cking chance , there's more likelihood of snow on the Costa Del Sol (just 76 degrees today , well someones got to do it :)

50/50 for me this one so I'll go for a high scoring draw. 2-2.

Ok, if you look at it like that:
Our game V West Brom...

Our Goals
Goal 1 - G.Jesus dummy didn't come off as the defender read it, luckily it fell for Fernandinho who passed it to Sane.
Goal 2 - Fernandinho's shot was going wide. Luckily it deflected just inside the post.
Goal 3 - Amazing.

WBA
Goal 1 - Fine.
Goal 2 - Otamendi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So really it was 1-1??? ha!

MOTD mentioned it in passing, but the first West Brom goal was offside ! And looking back at it a couple of times it was !! So for the record we won 1-0 ! :-)
