Sporting CP (A) - Tue 5th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Gyökeres Will tear us apart

Only love can do that.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Brighton is the most important game so I'd go.

Ortega
Walker
Simpson-pussey
Braithwaite
Ake
Gundo
O'Reilly
Wright
Mcatee
Foden
Doku

And I do know pep wouldn't pick this team.

Not by any means sure that Pep would go along with your opening statement, either.

Gyokeres is eager to play us the way we defend atm. He has been a monster in Portugal and it would be fun to see ,what he does against us. Hopefully we have enough to win or minimum draw this game.

Whilst I think Brighton is, or at least should be, the priority we don’t really have the luxury of rotating much with the injuries we have. Think Pep will play as strong as team as possible out of respect, for both Sporting and the CL, plus we need to try and end this short losing streak. We could quite plausibly be looking at going into international break on the back of four straight defeats.

Ederson
Lewis
Akanji
Ake
Gvardiol
Kovacic
Bernardo
Foden
Nunes
Doku
Haaland

 

[Cobra]

It’s going to be Kovacic, Bernardo and Gundogan in midfield and it’s going to be painful to watch

Giving me the chills already…

Not forgetting that we also have 3000 plus fans going to Lisbon at significant cost.

Personally I think he will go as strong as he can in Lisbon anyway and see what happens for Brighton. Your team looks about right although Savinho may play.

 

[chesterbells]

Hope we smash them. If only to cast doubts in the Rags' minds about their new manager.

Of course mate. 100%

Kick off time 20:00 (GMT).

Personally I think Brighton should be a priority, don't want to lose as we saw with the Spurs game it's not good for momentum. Pick a team that can get a draw.

--------------Ederson
Lewis---Akanji---JSP---Gvardiol
----------Kovacic---O'Reilly
Nunes--------Mcatee--------Doku
-------------------Foden

I haven't got a clue who is fit and who needs a rest.

Rather save Doku for Brighton if possible.

Not sure Haaland, ever needs a rest???

 

[CTID Somerset]

Fucking thrilled to watch this.

Amorin will be on a mission. That freak of a striker in the form of his life right as our defence is struggling with no protection.

Can’t wait.

Maybe our freak of a striker needs a bit of service to show them who's best??
