    Currently stuck between the mindsets of:-

    (a) “We can get something here”; and
    (b) “* it, play Jota and take the 3-0 loss.”

    We had some hope when we had some pace up front but a sale and red card have all but * that.

    With no Kyogo and Maeda we’ve lost most of the work rate up the top. Usually that’s very important for us playing the better teams. Can’t see anything but a loss in this one.

    Aye, it's going to be tough..

    I'm looking forward to seeing how the likes of Engels, Kuhn and Idah shape up..

    With them struggling at CB could be a chance for Idah a goal here would do his confidence the world of good.

    This was a tie I was scared of when it was first announced. I think their form dipped a bit, but I feel their big, fast and physical players are our Achilles heel. Think this could be a drubbing as our midfield will be overrun from kick off. Be watching this from behind the couch.

    We're better than many think. Could easily win this. Could also go the other way. It'll be a brilliant, no pressure watch.

    Would feel reasonably confident going into this with Maeda and Kyogo, even just the former. Got a feeling Idah will do ok, but think Maeda will be a massive miss.

    Feel the same as I did before Dortmund and Atalanta: i.e. expecting to lose by 2 or 3 goals. A draw or a 7-1 drubbing would both be a surprise for me (as indeed they were in those 2 games).

    Amazing how we have one of our best players gone, winger, suspended and main CD potentially out now.

    Villa are on a weird run and would of been there for the taking...not so sure now

    I’m letting my head rule my heart and (I hope I’m wrong) but I think we are in for a long night particularly with the scant resources in the forward area. Atalanta#2 required to get anything.

    Definitely looks like a backs to the wall job for whatever team we put out as well as tight * cheeks for the fans
