Young Boys (A) - Wed 25th Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Everytime we make a conserved effort to rest players, we are more sluggish.
Critical stage of the season now where momentum is needed

Yeah, we get a very winnable game with half a team of second strings and it's as though they've never met. We should be able to pick any eleven starters from our CL squad and watch Young Boys burn!

It's all about picking the rag team then working backwards for this game.

Pep won't see it that way

Pep won't see it that way

Agree he probably won't.

Hopefully he'll take Walker/Stones out for Akanji/Lewis at least.

..........ORTEGA
LEWIS AKANJI AKE GOMEZ
.........PHILLIPS
....NUNES......KOVACIC
DOKU................GREALISH
.........ALVAREZ

Might be going a bit too far, but I hope that would be enough.

3 points on Sunday for me

No chance, Pep will want these back to back games won the group wrapped up, then he’ll rest players.Will be a strong team this game.

As the group stands, win midweek, and we're basically through, that will be the priority, with eyes on the weekend game.

If it's anything like that, Pep is a fool, we need to get the game won.

Derby Sunday I think a few won't be risked.

Would make sense but it doesn’t seem to matter how shit the opposition are early in the Chanps League. Pep seems to go all out to get the points on the board. It would be good to see us put in a convincing away performance.

Ederson
Lewis Akanji Dias Ake

Subs: Stones , Gvardiol , Alvarez , Kovačić

We can beat these comfortably with a couple rested this weekends derby is the more important game.
