Napoli president saying now that he thinks they need to rest players against us because they have a big game against Inter at the weekend. I think that, having already messed up against Shaktar, they're looking at this group and thinking they'll need to settle for second and focus on the league.

They rested more than half the team against ShaktarNapoli president saying now that he thinks they need to rest players against us because they have a big game against Inter at the weekend.

And that proved to be a mistake. That has to raise the question of if they're looking to win this group, because if they aren't they will surely rest players against us too which will make our job easier.They rested more than half the team against Shaktar

Complete mind games. Don't be fooled. Pep won't be.
By the way, do I understand it that Kyle Walker is ok for this one, since I can find nothing about him being injured? I was a bit worried at the end of the match on Saturday.

I'm kind of on the fence on this one. Part of me thinks we'll go with the same team (maybe Danilo in for Delph) and the other thinks we might go back to 3-5-2, ensuring that we dominate the ball and nullify their attacks.

If they rest players against us then they might be looking at not qualifying at all, never mind not topping the group. Shakhtar look a decent team to me, I think they will push Napoli all the way for second place.And that proved to be a mistake.

Not as cheap as Shaktar but I am sure there will be some people who saw the performance on Saturday and will be considering raiding their piggy banksMy guess is that it will be around 47K (which is what we got for Shakhtar plus 2K to account for more way fans).
Edit: a quick look at the seat planner suggests my 47K estimate could be too high. But maybe sales will pick up today?
Yep, it's at 12:30 BSTHas Pep got a press conference for this game today does anybody know?
