    That’s ripe for Maeda in the middle

    It's about mentality. If we have the right mentality and approach the game with a sound defensive and offensive plan we have a chance.

    I feel we need a double pivot in this game, otherwise I think it will be curtains.

    In theory aye but you could argue he'd be better out wide with their full back pushed high and Idah keeping the two man mountain CBs occupied.

    Its bold but I'd personally start Schlupp at LB.

    If Elise starts at RW he trained with Schlupp for 3 years at Palace. I'd fancy Schlupp to know how to handle him more than Taylor.

    It's there and the midfield that is my concern. Taylor on nights like tomorrow just worries me with the lack of pace and physicality.

    Think it's too soon for him.. just doesn't have the minutes in his legs and has been untested defensively..

    More of a risk to play him, imo.

    In a nutshell, we need to be absolutely at our best defensively and in goal for the whole game - no brain farts, and when we get any chances we need to be ruthlessly clinical - I'm not sure we're gonna get too many to be wasteful!

    In short, if we play to our absolute best we have A CHANCE! Beyond that we're looking at good fortune or lucky breaks... Gonna be a peeking from behind the couch kinda night methinks... :boxing:

    Maybe go ultra defensive and play Sclupp at LW, Maeda central?

    I agree with you Taylor leaves centre backs too exposed down that side

    I can now confirm, after Maedas ban announcement. We will be the team to win 6-0.

    Untested defensively perhaps but I can't say I hold much hope in Taylor against their wide men. Even if he's fit.

    Had a dream last night we beat them 4-1 tomorrow and got a 1-0 win away from home.

    Does anyone remember someone posting on here that they dreamt we were going to beat Barca 2-1 and Wanyama would score first?

    Bet Jeff Schlupp didn’t think he would be playing Bayern Munich in CL at his age.

    Already getting butterfly's over this game. This is the knockouts of the champions league. No bigger tournament in club football and no better achievement. No chance I'm going to sleep the night. Not only through utter joy and excitement but iv been a lazy * n napped aw day :56:

    Bring them on. Keep 11 men on the pitch and we can do this. It's been too long and we've never had such a good team with so little injuries. Nows our time. I believe.

    Nothing mentioned about Bernardo being out so he'll be good for this
