If we don’t lose tonight, that’s pretty much the group won.

A bit early for that. But yes, avoiding defeat will be a great start. In terms of the quality of the opposition, tonight is arguably the most difficult of the away games (Red Star could be a more hostile atmosphere, mind). It won't be a stroll tonight. Rodri being in is huge (you could even say, "massive").

Am happy that we are getting another game in quickly after Wolves' defeat, Good looking team tonight and the balance looks better, Let's just find our form please and pray for no more injuries and plenty more goals from Haaland

Key for me is getting Haaland on a streak. Normally once he starts scoring he goes crazy for goals and we need him to be banging them in over the next 5/6 weeks.

I disagree. Red Star and Young Boys are dreadful. The atmosphere in Serbia might be hostile, but can’t see us not winning there.

The Wankdorf pitch is the only other factor left in the group.

Nothing wrong with a message being sent that he's not immune to being dropped.

If that’s what you think he needs that’s up to you

Depends how much it’s lubed up beforehand.

Proper message to kovacic and Nunes that. Poor performances will not be tolerated here. If you have an off day, mediocre is the bare minimum, nothing less is acceptable. Zero excuses for not getting the 3 points tonight with that side. Shows the importance of bernardo, im certain he wouldnt be thrown back in in an ideal situation. Grealish needs to turn up tonight. I am slightly concerned what he will do weekend though, lewis will get bullied if he's anchoring us alone, wouldn't bet against seeing Lewis fullback and gvardiol midfield if not to start with then at some point, just seems a better fit all round.

Not sure it's that deep lol.

Probably more to do with rotation and keeping it fresh

Johnny Johnny Stones great to see he’s back although on the bench
