He and the family did a lovely interview at home with a local journalist a few weeks ago, think it was in The Guardian. Even the cats seemed happy.

if we win this tie we could be the only English side left.

I expect a very tough game tomorrow, they are a very good counter attacking side. Werner caused us problems at Chelsea, especially in the champions league final though his finishing that night was dreadful. Nkunku was very good against us last season. We’ll need to be clinical and make sure to give them easy counter attacking opportunities.

It will be interesting to see how we play without KDB.

Nkunku has muscular problems, won't start, maybe misses out.

Leipzigs mid is quite strong and tight but we should defo address the weaker fullbacks. Runs in the pockets would be my choice...

We should focus down the left channel. Gundogan sliding Haaland in down that side is probably the best chance of a throughball with KDB out. However, that would leave Bernardo and Mahrez attacking the far post, two players not particularly known for their movement or strength.

I don't see Mahrez getting dropped. Maybe Pep plays Alvarez beside Haaland, alternating one running the channel and the other making the run through the middle, with Grealish as the spare man. But thay would necessitate dropping one of Bernardo/Gundogan.

Didn’t score buckets at forest though did we smart arse?

Would like if you have some input instead of the obvious comment. It says should because of what happened.
What's your prediction?
