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

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 would agree but depends on who wins in our place. I would not care as much if it was anyone but Liverpool or Rags.

Well they have the guy from U2 in goal, so we should win comfortably

It gives us the Edge

Just watched Harland's goals against Sevilla last time out, and our new guy slipped a great pass through for the second.

Yes, but it is still a monkey on our back and a stick with which the media, rival supporters, and the football community at large can use to beat both the club and Pep.

We’ve dominated the league — there’s nothing left to prove in England. Whether we win it three times in a row or not will have little impact on how this side is seen from this point forward.

The only thing that will improve the club’s stature is winning the CL.

I am not thrilled about that, but I accept it as the reality.

There are a few things left to do domestically.

Only four other teams have won three league titles in a row (Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool, and United twice), and none have won four in a row. They are things I’d fucking love to see this club achieve.

I really want to win the CL, but I wouldn’t mind waiting until 2024-25 if we can win the next two league titles.

Saying that, why not fucking win the CL along with the Prem?!

Navas will be a danger in front of goal.

Perhaps one of the worst finishers of all time. Screamer incoming

 

[SebastianBlue]

C'mon. You know if we win it, the media will tell all and sundry how easy this group is and we got lucky, finally ;-)

Or course. But it’ll still improve our stature, especially as it will make it easier to win more in the future.

Everything is impossible until you do it. Then, miraculously, you can do it fairly regularly.

See the 5 minute mile. ;-)

No doubt Akanji and Gomez are good players but imo you don’t start 2 new guys in the same back 4 in a CL away game.

Rest of the set up looks quality though.

This. I want 3 in a row.

Nice of the Sevilla fans appreciating quality when they see it.
