Shakhtar (A) Pre Match Thread

[arbabarshad]

Just want to see Foden play a full 90. Is that too much to ask?

He won't be able to play 90 mins in the conditions at his age in a men's game. His legs will be gone after 60 or 70 mins.

Couldnt give a shite about Napoli , they f8cked up by losing to Shaktar, and 100% their owner wouldnt be pulling out all stops if his club was in the same position and could knock us out by fielding and U-23 team , De Laurentis has slagged our club for years , you reap what you sow

That's a good point which I'd forgotten.

And I'm sure they had plenty of leg-room. Shouldn't be any issues, really.

On an unrelated topic, what do you have to feed a dog to get white dog poo?

Bones

There is no way we will win this match:

1) Weakened team
2) Big game at the weekend
3) They are a good team
4) They have something to play for ad we don't

I can see Pep playing a few key players, particularly at the back tonight but It's an utterly needless risk to play anybody he intends on starting on Sunday and that's without considering most of them could do with a rest too. It may be a pointless game for us but Shakhtar will be well up for it knowing progressing is in their own hands and will be a great chance/test for the fringe players/youngsters to show that they're good enough against a strong side who have everything to play for.

can see a loss here, or at best a draw. which wouldnt bother me too much as it means napoli get knocked out

Probably but a weakened team will be a team with something to play for hopefully.

We win 3-0 then ;)

Is our weakened team not also a good team?

If your that confident you can turn £100 into £320 if you think Shakhtar will win.
