Sevilla (A) - Tue 6th Sept, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Alvarez must be fuming.

Not many teams in the world where you score a brace and don't start the next two games.

Didn’t Dzeko score four against Spurs and get benched by Mancini?

Bit risky giving first 2 starts for Akanji/Gomez in a tricky away tie

I don’t think it’s about recovery. It’ll be about trust mostly.

So, you agree with my original comment, then? ;-)

Nope. I know I'm in a minority but I'm at the point where I'd begrudgingly sacrifice the League for one season if it meant lifting the CL. We can't keep flaking in it season after season and pretending it isn't an issue. Erling wakes up every morning to a CL anthem alarm, that's what it means to the world's best players. If Pep leaves without one CL it's going to leave a faint tarnish on his legacy here; just my opinion, and I'm sure some will disagree.

I'm praying this is the season we finally get the monkey off our back.

I agree.

Didn’t Dzeko score four against Spurs and get benched by Mancini?

And we all know how that turned out!

Yeah, I’ve said it loads since the Villa game, to be fair.

 

[Bill]

The only thing I can think of was that Alvarez’s “free” role that game was not meant to be quite that free.

 

[domalino]

Last season vs. Sevilla Haaland was absolutely unstoppable.

He kept picking the ball up deep and just running at Kounde and Diego Carlos and they couldn’t live with him, he terrified them.

See you on the other side

Up the blues !

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

It'll be good to see Isco again since he left us
