Sparta Prague (H) - Wed 23rd Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Alan Harper's Tash]

To be fair to Brentford and Fulham, they had more of a go at us than Arsenal did in their last two visits or Madrid.

True, but still in the same shape really.

If MaCatee don’t start in this you wouldn’t blame him for doing a Palmer
He has been smashing England u21
Unless he ain’t doing it in training which I doubt
We must give this kid a run or risk losing him.

I have no idea about how good Sparta Prague are, so I went for a home win.

Would they be the equivalent of Brentford or Fulham, both of whom gave us problems?

Completely agree. Our midfield is aging fast. No reason not to give the lad a chance.

Probably closer to Cardiff / Preston. These are so bad it would be a shock if we don’t win by 3 or 4

But at least concede from 1st shot/goal to them ..

We own the copyright for going 1 nil down. However they all want to be us,

Spuds
Villa
Rags
Leicester
Red scouse

All conceded first before winning.

Same on Wednesday for us, I bloody hope not, no more hair to tear out.

Nunes surely has to start this game.

Pep will often go safety first with team selection in the CL but this is like playing a championship side in the FA cup at home for me and should be treated as such.
