Not an easy game and a draw isn’t a terrible result, but we should try to win. The nasty asshole João Palhinha who injured KdB in the Euros will be playing. He played a game against Porto yesterday and received a red card for violent conduct. They rested quite a few players yesterday and had an extra day. Also have a young and brilliant manager. Don’t anyone kid themselves, it will be a difficult game. I’m a little concerned about playing a lot of Portuguese players against a Portuguese team in Portugal

Agreed. I've watched them a fair bit since the draw was announced and I have to say that they've far exceeded my expectations. Will be a tough match no doubt.

Probably the same starting XI as in the Brentford match. Without the away goal, this will be more about control. Wish Grealish was available. Need players with attitude to see out the first ninety minutes. Bernardo and Rodri do have the requisite share.

They for some reason remind me of Lyon and go under the radar slightly,take a draw minimum and give them a damn good thrashing at home ..

Excellent use of the squad today from Pep. Should be able to put out an even more formidable team on Tuesday.

All I know is Palhinha is a dirty bastard, I remember him cropping KDB at the Euros, as @BrazilianBlue (Gus) mentioned.
