Schalke (a) Pre Match Thread

Yep, had worse days. This was it in it’s infancy - got better as it spread later on:

What a time to be a blue. Hope they’re not tempting fate, mind!

I’m not going to lie, Kidd, Vinny, and Pep are some sexy ****ers...

Does anyone know how the cost of our squad compares to theirs? Any way we can find out?

Who cares?

Ask those muppets who did the commentary on the Newport game

"Sentimental" me wants Pep to go with the above.

"Pep don't give a fuk" me thinks he'll go with the below:
Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Laporte
Danilo
Fernandihno
Debryune
Gundogan
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero.

Think you defo have the front 6 correct

That song is mint

Schalke will be up for this game, you can bet their manager will see to it. So Pep let's get this game over with in the 1st leg. We need at least a 2 goals more if possible margin in our favour tonight, although I will take a scoring draw tonight.

 

[Bill Walker]

Bad news about Jesus, he's bang full of confidence at the moment. Increases the burden on Sergio too which is worrying with two games a week to play.

If Kun bangs in a couple first half we can take him of at HT

 

[Easy]

Would go with a back line of

Laporte-Otamendi-Kompany-Walker

Think it is stronger defensively than with Zinchenko and would be good to give Kompany let’s see 60-70 min before the cup final which I would expect him to start.

The front 6 picks itself.

Our build up could be quite bad though without Stones AND Laporte at centre back. For me we should be building the back line around Laporte in his best position. As long as he is left centre back, I feel like all is good in the world.

Ederson
Zinchenko
Laporte
Otamendi
Walker
Fernandinho
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Aguero
Sterling
